Evotec in vitro studies for oral application was rnsed 7 wks ago. Results due??:
Notwithstanding the indicative evidence that Nuvec® could work orally, there are a number of steps to be taken to progress this potential. To that end the Company will working with Evotec to undertake some preliminary in vitro studies to establish first that Nuvec® can be optimised to transfect murine intestinal cells and, secondly, that it can transfect human gastrointestinal mucosal/epithelial cells. Without being able to efficiently transfect gut cells, any oral application would not be possible, so it is essential to complete these studies prior to progressing any further with this initiative. The completion of these additional studies will not be at a significant cost to the Company and will not detract from the Company's existing workstreams.
