Company presentation summary
20 Aug, 2026Strategic focus and pipeline
Refocused on specialist disease areas with large unmet medical needs, particularly in oncology and inflammation.
Key assets include tasquinimod for hematological malignancies and laquinimod for inflammatory eye disorders.
Tasquinimod is in Phase I/II trials for myelofibrosis, with Orphan Drug Designation granted by the FDA.
Laquinimod development continues with a partner, targeting non-infectious uveitis and other eye disorders.
Naptumomab is licensed to NeoTX for global development in solid tumors, with ongoing clinical studies.
Clinical development highlights
Tasquinimod shows disease-modifying potential in myelofibrosis, with ongoing clinical proof-of-concept studies in the US and Europe.
Preclinical data indicate synergy with JAK and BET inhibitors, and efficacy as both monotherapy and in combination.
Two clinical trials for tasquinimod in myelofibrosis are ongoing, with interim results expected in 2026 and final results in 2027.
Laquinimod eye drops demonstrated safety, tolerability, and effective ocular distribution in Phase I trials.
The LION study confirmed laquinimod's ability to reach therapeutic concentrations in both anterior and posterior eye segments.
Market opportunity and unmet needs
Myelofibrosis and non-infectious uveitis represent significant unmet medical needs with high market potential.
Myelofibrosis market projected to reach $2.9 billion in top eight global markets by 2031.
Non-infectious uveitis has a $1.5 billion market opportunity by 2033, with no approved eye drop formulations currently available.
Tasquinimod and laquinimod benefit from strong patent protection extending into the 2040s.
Orphan Drug Designation provides regulatory advantages, including market exclusivity and fee waivers.
