£5.0M
The clinical stage pharmaceutical company raised the capital from Mankind Pharma to advance its lead cancer cachexia asset.
"We are thrilled to announce the successful closing of this financing round, which brings our total seed funding to £10 million, well ahead of our original target. The financing includes support from both longstanding and new investors, notably Mankind Pharma, demonstrating confidence in our strategic goal to develop innovative globally approved treatments for cancer cachexia and other muscle wasting conditions. We are particularly pleased by the support from Mankind and warmly welcome Atish Majumdar to our Board of Directors. With these funds, we will complete feasibility activities for the clinical development programme for S-pindolol benzoate, which has shown promising potential efficacy in this area of major unmet need."
