Hi All Worth Reading Stalicas stance on this deal - take a look at thier team also - one thing the caught my eye is the end royalties are over and above the £160m milestones? They are perpares to fund this fully also - its a big deal IMO
GENEVA, Oct. 10, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- STALICLA SA, a precision neuroscience clinical stage biotech, advancing the first precision medicine platform (DEPI) for patients with Neurodevelopmental Disorders (NDDs), today announced the worldwide in-licensing of SFX-01 from Evgen Pharma plc (Evgen) in neurodevelopmental disorders and schizophrenia, with a first indication for a biologically-characterized subgroup of patients with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
STALICLA's unique approach addresses a major weakness in the drug development process for NDDs and neuropsychiatric disorders: behaviour is a terrible biomarker. Thanks to DEPI, a proprietary platform aggregating molecular data and human genetic information, STALICLA pushes the frontier of precision medicine further into precision NDDs. DEPI has already reached validation through the clinical identification of biologically defined subgroups of patients with ASD, and their respective candidate treatments. SFX-01 will strengthen STALICLA's pipeline to advance precision medicine for a new subgroup of patient with Autism Spectrum Disorder.
SFX-01 is a patented composition of sulforaphane and alpha cyclodextrin, and the only grade of sulforaphane suitable for clinical research and possible approval as medicine. Thanks to DEPI, STALICLA identified SFX-01 as the best treatment candidate for its second subgroup of patients, ASD-Phenotype 2. SFX-01 in-licensing follows the completion, in early 2022, of Phase 1b for STP1, Stalicla's lead candidate tailored to ASD-Phenotype1, a first subgroup of patients identified by DEPI.
