NXP002 is key13 Feb 2020 12:08
Resignations in small companies are always a concern and do panic some people, however, let's stay focused on the prize.
In Sept 2019 (see below) NFX announced the appointment of a leading lung disease consultant to advance NXP002 and in Dec the placing was to improve NFXs negotiation strength in these meetings, as per the RNS.
It has also been confirmed by RNS that we are currently in negotiations with more than one Japanese company.
Clearly the Chinese money would be nice, and may still get resolved, but it was not included in the H1 report , which showed to me that NFX weren't confident and hence the fundraise.
Nothing that has happened in the last few weeks has impacted NXP002 progress IMHO.
I remain a holder.
The appointment reflects progress made with Nuformix's NXP002 programme as a treatment for Idiopathic Lung Fibrosis (IPF) as it finalises its clinical development plans. Muhunthan joins the Scientific Advisory Board with immediate effect.
Dr. Thillai is the Lead Clinician for the Cambridge Interstitial Lung Disease Unit, where he is also currently appointed as a Consultant. Dr Thillai began his training in London and Oxford where he gained Membership of the Royal College of Physicians. He was awarded a personal Research Training Fellowship from the Wellcome Trust. This allowed him to undertake three years of scientific research into sarcoidosis, in which Muhunthan specialises in addition to IPF.
