Spermosens announce a revised strategy emphasizing an ambitious clinical study, commercial partnerships, and operational efficiency. Starting in Q3 2024, the company will initiate a clinical study at the Reproductive Medicine Center (RMC) in Malmö to demonstrate the diagnostic value of its unique JUNO-Checked product.

Spermosens will intensify business development globally to identify the right commercial partners through license deals in key markets for its groundbreaking JUNO-Checked product, which has the potential to help couples struggling with infertility. The revised strategy includes initiatives to enhance organizational efficiency by sharper prioritization and reduced costs, positioning the company optimally for success in a large and growing market for infertility treatment.

Spermosens is preparing for an upcoming clinical study conducted at RMC in Malmö with Dr. Ingela Soltic as principal investigator. Based on power-analysis the study is set up to involve an estimated 250 couples with so-called unexplained infertility undergoing IVF treatment. An application to the ethical committee with the study protocol has been submitted. The extensive study planned to start in Q3 2024 is anticipated to generate regular interim results contingent on the expected recruitment rate. The purpose of the study is to investigate the male fertility related to a molecular recognition between sperm cells and oocyte via binding of two important proteins. The focus will be on the JUNO-score, which measures the binding between the IZUMO1 and the JUNO proteins. A strong correlation between the binding of these key proteins and successful fertilization of the egg, will enable clinicians to assess the fertilization potential of sperm cells more accurately, leading to a personalized and more efficient IVF treatment. A positive outcome from this study can enhance IVF treatments, become a valuable diagnostic tool for sperm banks and as well to help couples experiencing fertility challenges prior to IVF treatment.

Spermosens is attracting interest from several companies in the field of assisted reproductive treatments (ART) and are actively pursuing strategic partnerships through licensing deals in several attractive markets, including the US and Japan. The aim is to identify capable partners with robust distribution channels. Business development and out-licensing efforts will advance in parallel with the clinical study. We will leverage regional specialists with a strong presence in these relevant markets to execute our business development strategy effectively.

Spermosens has implemented measures to optimize operations, ensuring efficient execution of both the clinical study and business development. All resources will be reallocated to these two focus areas, while other exploratory activities will be temporarily suspended. This strategic shift enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and position Spermosens optimally for success.

Dr. Tore Duvold, CEO of Spermosens, comments: "I am genuinely excited about the opportunity to help people struggling to have their own children. Our technology stands out as it may offer a personalized and improved fertility treatment, potentially leading to better fertility rates and a simpler treatment process. After thoroughly analysing our technology, strategic options, organization, and R&D partners, it is clear that we must now focus all our efforts on demonstrating the diagnostic value of our product and seeking the right commercial partners to successfully bring it to the market. This requires us at Spermosens to be both efficient and cost-conscious. A positive outcome from the clinical study will be immensely valuable to both patients and our shareholders."
