Our priorities for the next 18 months are clear. The company is in a transition from a development focus to becoming a commercially driven, revenue-generating organization that improves patients’ quality of life. We are now in the final stages of completing the necessary marketing and communications material to support the launch of our first product, Apealea. Our ambition is to launch in the EU during the first quarter of 2020 – preferably together with a strategic partner. We have therefore started production of Apealea in sufficient volumes for the launch, together with our manufacturing partner Baxter Oncology. In the coming year, we will also strengthen the clinical value of Apealea and create increased product awareness by facilitating Investigator Initiated Trials (IIT:s). In addition, we intend to prepare the scientific and clinical ground for a partner strategy within the field of immuno-oncology – a very interesting field for Oasmia going forward.In 2021, we will also implement the regulatory strategy for the US market and apply for market approval. We will seek partners for the US market, which in value is the largest globally.In summary, the whole company is very excited for the coming year, it will be hard work but hopefully also thrilling milestones for Oasmia. We will make every effort to realize the potential of our proprietary XR17 platform and the products it can generate – and to add clear value to future patients.Sven Rohmann, interim CEO of OasmiaFor more information:
