US trial generates strong interest

Neovacs is running a Phase IIb trial on its lead immunotherapy project, IFN-Kinoid (IFN-K) for lupus. The US arm is now recruiting and is expanding from five to 15 centres due to strong interest. We now expect results from end 2017, formerly mid-2017. In Korea, CKD may start sales in 2018, but the main impact is likely to be in 2019. Partnering for other territories is now expected from mid-2018. The important VEGF-Kinoid for cancer and AMD might start Phase I in H117. Cash at the end of June 2016 was €9.2m.
