Guidance from management
Management reiterated confidence in their cash runway, stating it will allow them to reach key milestones for their clinical programs by year-end. They aim to initiate the Phase II trial in CML before the end of 2026, contingent on safety data from the ongoing Phase I trial.
What management said
Yes. And the financial summary for the quarter was that the costs in the quarter were approximately SEK 20 million, which is SEK 10 million lower than the same period last year. And this is the effect of the reorganization and the cost savings we did in the second half of last year. And during the quarter, we have also executed on the first tranche for the Fenja loan, which added SEK 30 million to the cash position. ...
Exactly. Well, that's when we will need to do the analysis. So around that time, it will not take too long, but one way or the other, of course, we have to first reach 20 patients, then open the samples, et cetera, and do the analysis. So most important is first that we get to the 20 patients and then we do the analysis, and we will report shortly afterwards.
What analysts pressed on
Analysts expressed concerns regarding the recruitment speed for the CADENCE trial, noting competitive pressures from other trials in the AML landscape. There were also inquiries about the characteristics of patients being enrolled in the CML study and the definition of suboptimal responses.
