“We are continuing to make important preparations for the launch of our first product – Dasynoc®. This is an improved version of a well-established drug for the treatment of leukemia (CML and ALL). Dasynoc® has shown distinct clinical benefits through lower dosage requirements and lower variability in absorption, and the ability to be co-medicated with commonly used gastric acid suppressants. Existing treatments have major problems with co-medication for gastric ulcers, making Dasynoc® poised to offer vital patient benefits. Alongside the clinical arguments, during the period we produced compelling health economic data showing how Dasynoc® can lower the overall healthcare costs for patients – an extremely strong message to the US insurance companies concerned.
Together with our commercial partner, EVERSANA, we are creating a basis for a rapid and robust launch of Dasynoc®. In parallel, we are building the infrastructure for bringing forthcoming products that are based on our platform technology to market.
During the quarter, we submitted additional information for our New Drug Application (NDA) for Dasynoc® to the FDA. Subsequently, the FDA issued a PDUFA date: July 31, 2024, which is the FDA’s own deadline for a decision on the marketing approval process for Dasynoc®. After the end of the period, we announced that we are ready to advance our fourth product candidate, XS025 (previously designated XS015) cabozantinib, into clinical study – our additional product candidate for the treatment of renal cancer. We also strengthened our cash holdings ahead of the final phase of our planned launch through the TO6 program, which has been subscribed at a rate of 80 percent and raised SEK 100 million before issue expenses.” – Per Andersson CEO, Xspray Pharma
