“We concluded 2022 with an eventful quarter for Xspray Pharma. One of the more important events was that we could present new data related to the product candidate XS004. These clearly demonstrate the advantages of our amorphous version of Dasatinib for the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia, CML. Preparations ahead of a commercial launch in the latter part of 2023 progress, and we began producing the first quantities of XS004 for commercial use. We have also decided upon a commercialization strategy for our first product, based upon which we will establish collaboration with a specialized commercialization partner, which provides access to a cost efficient and ready to go sales organization in the US. Following an extensive evaluation, we have concluded that this is the most efficient and economically advantageous model to initially establish our product portfolio on the US market without limiting our right to future profits from our products.” – Per Andersson CEO, Xspray Pharma.
