OSLO, 31 October 2023: EXACT THERAPEUTICS AS ("EXACT-Tx", Euronext Growth:
EXTX), a clinical stage precision medicine company utilising Acoustic Cluster
Therapy (ACT®) across multiple therapeutic areas, today announces that the
Norwegian Medicines Agency (NOMA) and the Ethics Committee have awarded all

metastatic colorectal cancer. 12 to 20 patients are planned to be enrolled into
the dose expansion part of the ACTIVATE study.

patients at the Oslo University Hospital in Norway, in addition to the already
included sites in the UK. A strong relationship with the clinical expertise in
