Commenting on the results, Olav Hellebø, ReNeuron’s CEO, said: “During the year under review, we have commenced dosing of patients in two new clinical trials in stroke disability and critical limb ischaemia, representing further significant milestones in the clinical development of ReNeuron’s CTX cell therapy candidates. Importantly, we have since gained regulatory approval to commence our first clinical trial in the US, a Phase I/II clinical trial of our hRPC cell therapy candidate for retinitis pigmentosa. We are also encouraged by the early pre-clinical data generated with our exosome nanomedicine platform, targeting cancer.

“As the business continues to progress its therapeutic programmes towards commercialization, we have also expanded senior management capability within the business to meet future operational needs. In this regard, we look forward to the relocation of the business to our new, world-class cell manufacturing and research facility in South Wales early next year.

“Finally, as a result of the fundraising announced today, the business benefits from a very strong balance sheet, the backing of high calibre institutional investors and an experienced management team focused on the delivery of clinical data and associated value generation across all of the Company’s therapeutic programmes over the next three years. We continue to look forward to the future with high confidence.”
