and first half 2020. A presentation by Nordic Nanovector’s management team will
take place today in Oslo at 08.30 CET, see details below. A link to the webcast
and the presentation is available from the company’s homepage
(www.nordicnanovector.com).

Lars Nieba, interim CEO of Nordic Nanovector, said: "The management team
together with the board have taken a range of actions during the last several
months to increase focus, improve patient recruitment while at the same time
conserve cash. These initiatives along with the positive PARADIGME interim
analysis and on-going protocol amendments have put Nordic Nanovector in a
significant improved position to deliver the three-month top line data from
PARADIGME in H2’2021. "

Q2 and H1 2020 Highlights

· Strategic review completed: clinical development strategy revised, and cost
-saving initiatives implemented
· Pivotal Phase 2b PARADIGME trial of Betalutin® progressing in 3[rd]-line
follicular lymphoma (3L FL)
· COVID-19 continued to have a negative impact on PARADIGME patient
recruitment during Q3
· 56 patients enrolled as of August 26[th], 2020

· Protocol amendments are being made to PARADIGME to enlarge the eligible
patient population and increase the rate of enrolment into the study
· Dr Lars Nieba appointed as interim Chief Executive Officer and Malene
Brondberg as Chief Financial Officer
· Planned restructuring completed
· Corporate and personnel reorganisation implemented, headcount reduced by
approximately 20%
· Cost savings of approximately NOK 35 million per annum are expected from
the restructuring

· Betalutin® granted Fast Track designation in the US and Orphan Drug
Designation in the European Union for Marginal Zone Lymphoma (MZL)

Events after Q1 2020

· Result of PARADIGME Interim Analysis: recommendation to focus on single arm
investigating the “40/15” dosing regimen
· Comprehensive review of data by Independent Review Committee
· Both dosing regimens were well-tolerated and associated to a manageable
safety profile
· Both arms were active based on efficacy measures of Complete Response,
Partial Response and Stable Disease
· “40/15” arm demonstrated consistency across all sub-groups
· “100/20” arm to be discontinued - dosed patients to be monitored for the
remainder of the trial
· Maintain target to recruit 130 patients
· Although we see improvements in certain geographies, the negative impact
due to COVID-19 continues to impact PARADIGME patient recruitment during Q3. The
target patient population is a high-risk group for COVID-19
· Target set to announce PARADIGME three-month top-line data in H2’2021

· Dr Christine Wilkinson Blanc appointed Chief Medical Officer

Financial Highlights

(Figures in brackets = same period 2019 unless otherwise stated)

·
Revenues for the second quarter amounted to NOK 0.0 million (NOK 0.0 million)

· Total operating expenses for the second quarter were NOK 113.4 million (NOK
111.0 million)
· Comprehensive loss for the second quarter amounted to NOK 125.6 million

million)
· Total operating expenses for the first half of 2020 increased to NOK 239.3
million (NOK 200.9 million)

· Cash and cash equivalents amounted to NOK 246.2 million at the end of June
2020, compared to NOK 470.8 million at the end of December 2019

Outlook

The company is targeting the readout of three-month top line data from PARADIGME
in H2’2021. This timeline assumes the efficient implementation of the protocol
amendments and other initiatives to increase the rate of enrolment and the
impact of the COVID pan-epidemic on patient recruitment to slowly subside over
the next few months.

The steps the company has taken to conserve cash, including reducing headcount
and pausing certain clinical trials, will extend the cash runway into 2021. The
company expects to see the impact of these cost-saving initiatives emerge over
the remainder of 2020.

Following a broad range of actions carried out by the management team during the
course of 2020, the company now believes it is in a much-improved position to
deliver the pivotal results from PARADIGME in a timely manner. This would be a
key milestone for Nordic Nanovector as the company seeks to bring this exciting
new targeted NHL treatment to patients and maximise the value of Betalutin®.

I kjølvannet av de mange tiltakene som er iverksatt av ledelsen gjennom 2020,
anser selskapet at det nå er i langt bedre posisjon til å levere de viktige
resultatene fra PARADIGME i rett tid.

Her blir det medisin. Blir spennende med Q & A delen av presentasjonen. Jeg er fornøyd

[FakeNews]

“Tiltakene selskapet har gjort for å redusere kostnader, inklusive reduksjon i antall ansatte og å utsette enkelte kliniske studier, vil føre til at selskapets kontantbeholdning vil rekke inn i 2021.”

Kan ikke de bare si at de trenger kapital forhøyelse…

[InVivo]

Det er godkjent.

Men de må opp i 15-20 per kvartal hvis guiding skal holde

[Yulo]

Jada!!! DETTE GÅR VEIEN 5 NYE ER MEHEGET BRA GITT SITUASJONEN

[Ida]

Er det ikke 25, der er kun 1 md tilbage af 3. kvartal.

[TheObserver]

Man skjønner at det ikke er noen vits å lese Finansavisens artikkel om kvartalet når de viser bilde av «finansdirektør Costa» på forsiden!

[Londonmannen]

En kvartalsrapport er som å ta en posisjon når man er ute og seiler; den bekrefter din nåværende posisjon, og gir utgangspunkt for neste legg. Ledelsen skriver følgende:

«Following a broad range of actions carried out by the management team during the course of 2020, the company now believes it is in a much-improved position to deliver the pivotal results from PARADIGME in a timely manner. »

Det som ligger bak oss får vi ikke gjort noe med, men det er gledelig å få bekreftet at grepene den nye ledelsen har gjort har satt selskapet i en «much-improved position to deloverskrift results from PARADIGME inna timly mannen».

Men denne forbedrede posisjonen gir også NANO et langt bedre utgangspunkt for en partneravtale. Jeg velger å tro at årsaken til at en emisjon ennå ikke er gjennomført vitner om at selskapet allerede har startet den prosessen og at en partneravtale landes tidlig høst 2020.

Rapporten statuerer at en snuoperasjon er gjennomført, det er ryddet opp i gamle synder og selskapet er igjen på sporet til suksess:

“Disse initiativene, sammen med den positive foreløpige analysen av PARADIGME og pågående endringer i protokollen for studien, har styrket våre muligheter til å kunne levere tremåneders topplinjedata fra PARADIGME i andre halvår 2021”

[Markusf]

Jeg vil tro at de følger to spor

1. Finne en partner mens de nærmer seg markedet med Betalutin
2. kan vise til faktisk fremgang i rektrutteringstakten, slik at en emisjon kan gjøres på høyere nivåer.

Samtidig er vi alle spendte på ARCHER-1 data som kan komme “any day” - blir det champagne news ?

[hybrid]

What? Nei har du sett på makan for noen dotthuer.

[Londonmannen]

Jepp, men dette er de første tegn på at grepene som er tatt funker. Det er derfor all mulig grunn til å forvente at effekten av iverksatte tiltak vil bli enda sterkere gjennom Q3, selv om covid-19 situasjonen fortsatt vil ha en negativ effekt. Men det siste er ikke et selskapsspesifikt problem, det er noe som rammer alle farmasiselskapene i større eller mindre grad.

[Nocturne]

Det er positivt at guidingen opprettholdes, men som med PCIB virker det som alt avhenger av Covid. En oppblussing i høst og tidslinjene blir ødelagt enda mer. Takeaway for min del er at emisjonsspøkelset banker enda hardere på døren, men det kan også være en partner.

Spent på hva vi åpner på…

[sjerkyll]

Vanedyret vinner. Tror vi skal ned en tur ved åpningen i god gammel stil. Samme prosedyre fra media.

Tøft for kreftforskning – taper mer

Kontantbeholdningen nær halvert for Nordic Nanovector - E24 Aksjelive

[Eirikjarl]

Vi ser at ledelsen leder selskapet tryggt mot mål . Godkjent medisin

[hybrid]

Forferdelig dårlig og kortsiktig journalistikk dette her.

[Hypergris]

Måtte forevige denne altså.

[sjerkyll]

Dette har de slavisk gjort etter hver rapport. At Finansavisen drar den så langt og så tydelig med å bruke Costa er direkte pinlig. Vi får se hva som kommer ut av Q&A, men jeg regner ikke med noen bomber i dag

[Yulo]

Det går vel mest i klipp og lim

[TheObserver]

De kunne ha skrevet at NANO forventes å kunne søke om markedsgodkjennelse av Betalutin i slutten av 2021, men det skjønner de ikke betydningen av. Sånn er det når norske finansnyheter serveres først og fremst av FA. (Inter nytt under solen dog, så la oss glede oss over det Merlin poengterer).

Callen er det som blir interessant i dag
