ReNeuron wins Breakthrough of the Year Award

 

ReNeuron Group plc (AIM: RENE), a UK-based global leader in the development of cell-based therapeutics, is delighted to announce that it has won the 'Breakthrough of the Year' award at last night's 2019 European Mediscience Awards in London.

 

This award underlines the strong clinical development and commercial progress ReNeuron has made over the past year.  This includes positive data from the ongoing Phase 1/2a clinical trial in Retinitis Pigmentosa and the signing of an exclusive licence agreement with Shanghai Fosun Pharmaceutical Industrial Development Co., Ltd. for the development, manufacture and commercialisation of ReNeuron's CTX and hRPC cell therapy programmes in the People's Republic of China.

 

Olav Hellebø, Chief Executive Officer of ReNeuron, commented:

 

"We are delighted to have been awarded the Breakthrough of the Year award at the 2019 European Mediscience Awards. We are greatly encouraged by the progress we have made with our cell therapy clinical development programmes for retinitis pigmentosa and stroke disability over the past year and look forward to continuing to advance our clinical and business development activities in the months ahead."

 

The European Mediscience Awards is one of the largest annual gathering of private and publicly quoted healthcare, biotech and life sciences companies in Europe.  It celebrates the best in the sector and highlights the achievements of individuals and companies operating within it.
