A word from CEO Tord Labuda
Continued strong momentum
Dear Shareholders,
2025 has begun with continued strong momentum for Alzinova. After a transformative 2024, where we took decisive steps in our clinical development and strengthened our strategic position, we have in the first quarter completed the phase 1b study with positive results and continued to build on this foundation.
Clinical progress and key milestones
The past quarter has been characterized by an important breakthrough in our clinical development. We have now completed our Phase 1b study with the vaccine candidate ALZ-101 - a crucial step towards a new treatment for patients with early Alzheimer’s disease. The study has met its primary and secondary endpoints of safety, tolerability and immunogenicity, while exploratory endpoints show a stable disease profile with no signs of deterioration. The results exceeded our expectations and strengthen our confidence in ALZ-101 for the next phase of the development program.
Another significant milestone this quarter is that the active drug substance is now available for the upcoming clinical Phase 2 study of our vaccine candidate ALZ-101. This enables production of the final drug product and allows us to stay on track for initiating the study during the second half of 2025. Our collaboration with PolyPeptide Laboratories has been crucial in securing GMP-grade production and quality. We are now continuing to optimize processes ahead of future, larger clinical trials and eventual commercialization.
Strengthened financial position and Phase 2 preparations
After the end of the quarter we have successfully completed the rights issue that the Annual General Meeting 29 May 2024 authorized the Board of Directors to carry out. The issue was subscribed to a total of approximately 85 percent, of which approximately 51.1 percent subscription rights, 1.8 percent without subscription of subscription rights and the remaining 32.1 percent by underwriters. Through the issue, the company approximately SEK 30.3 million before issue costs. This means that we now have the financial stability and the resources required to complete the preparations for our upcoming phase 2 study with ALZ-101.
Partnerships and strategic opportunities
Our strengthened financial position gives us increased flexibility in ongoing dialogues with potential global partners and investors. There is strong interest in our clinical progress and our selective oligomer-based treatment approach. We are also exploring opportunities for further capital raising to accelerate the development of our pipeline, including ALZ-101 as well as our antibody-based treatment ALZ-201, and to further expand our pipeline. We are focused on creating long-term value for our shareholders and on establishing partnerships that can bring ALZ-101 closer to market.
Increased employee engagement and incentives
During the second quarter, we implemented the incentive program. This program is an important part of our efforts to attract, motivate, and retain talent. By offering our employees the opportunity for ownership, we strengthen engagement and the shared ambition to achieve our long-term goals. The strong interest in participating in the program is encouraging and contributes to building a committed and long-term workforce and leadership at Alzinova.
Summary and Looking Ahead
Q1 2025 has been marked by continued progress in our clinical and financial activities. We are well-prepared for the next steps and look forward to initiating the Phase 2 study with ALZ-101 in the second half of 2025. Our goal is clear: to contribute to a better future for patients and loved ones affected by Alzheimer’s disease through groundbreaking treatments.
Thank you for your continued support and trust.
