Key Figures & Highlights

Highlights during Q1 2024

• On January 5, Scandion Oncology received Notice of Allowance for patent to enhance US patent exclusivity on SCO-101. When granted, the patent will offer a very broad intellectual protection until at least 2037. Further we have an EU composition of matter patent until at least 2042.

• On January 31, Positive topline Phase IIa data from the CORIST Part 3 trial was reported, and impressive tumor reduction of more than 30% (partial response) was observed in one patient (out of 21 evaluated patients). Median Progression Free Survival (PFS) was 4.6 months in Part 3, superior to the PFS reported in CORIST part 2, and Clinical Benefit Rate (CBR) was 76% after eight weeks of treatment, a significant increase from the 46% CBR from CORIST Part 2.

• On March 7, Scandion Oncology reported second confirmed partial response in the Phase IIa CORIST Part 3 trial. In the last trial cohort we have now seen 2 out of 6 patients having a partial response.

• On March 21, Scandion Oncology reported promising updated Phase II CORIST data, including topline overall Survival (OS). The promising safety and efficacy results were observed in heavily pretreated patients, showcasing the potential of SCO-101 to enhance treatment outcome.

Highlights after the end of the period

• On April 19, Scandion Oncology announced the intention, subject to authorizations by the annual general meeting of the Company on 6 May 2024, to carry out a Rights Issue with preferential rights for the Company’s existing shareholders.

• On May 6, the Annual General Meeting passed the resolutions necessary to carry out the intended Rights Issue.

• On May 13, Scandion announced final data from the Phase Ib open-label PANTAX trial which confirms the good safety profile of SCO-101 and shows good signs of efficacy in hard-to-treat pancreatic cancer.
