" We have met a major milestone this year with the successful headline results from our pivotal Phase 3 study, SPARKLE and hereby the completion of clinical development for Orviglance. The results showed that Orviglance significantly improved the visualization of focal liver lesions, successfully meeting the primary endpoint with statistical significance for all three readers (<0.001).
As communicated early November, the Full Study Report has also been completed and includes the results of secondary endpoints, which further reinforce the successful study outcomes and support the NDA process and potential clinical value of Orviglance.
The Rights Issue financing launched in July was completed early September with a fully subscribed SEK 105 million financing. With the full financing in place, the cash runway of the company extends until late 2025 well beyond the NDA submission.
With this financing in place we are in a strong position to deliver on our key priorities ahead; bringing Orviglance through the regulatory submission and approval process with a submission of the New Drug Application (NDA) to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) expected by mid-2025 and continue. In parallel, we continue to advance the dialogue with potential commercialization partners to launch Orviglance and make it available to patients in need of a high-quality liver imaging option without gadolinium-related safety risks.", said Magnus Corfitzen, CEO at Ascelia Pharma.
