LUND, SWEDEN – Immunovia has today published the annual report for 2019. It is available on Immunovia’s website.
Mats Grahn, CEO, comments: “In December 2019, we reached a very important milestone with the results of the “Commercial Test Model Study”, which showed 95% accuracy for IMMray™ PanCan–d, our product for diagnosing pancreatic cancer at an early stage when it is still possible to successfully remove the tumor surgically. This result paves the way for considerable improved treatment and survival rates for patients with this deadly disease. We are now fully focused on launching our blood-based test in Q3 2020.
As we close 2019, we continue to make great strides and remain on track to launch our lead diagnostic candidate IMMray™ PanCan–d in the US market during Q3 2020. We ended the year with fantastic results from our “Commercial Test Model Study,” which confirmed the very high accuracy of our test in differentiating stages I–IV of pancreatic cancer from clinically relevant control groups that best reflect the commercial and clinical situation (i.e. patients who do not have cancer but show similarly concerning symptoms, including type 2 diabetes, as well as healthy subjects). In 2019, we not only achieved the milestones needed to advance towards the commercialization of IMMray™ PanCan-d, but we also made progress with our pipeline projects in lung cancer and autoimmune diseases.”
