a Norwegian immuno-oncology company, today releases its fourth quarter and
second half 2022 results - Steady progress towards improving cancer treatment
outcomes.
"Our molecules have a unique dual mode of action and can kill cancer cells in a
way that activates a broad T-cell response with the potential to target all
cancer cells within heterogeneous tumors and thereby increasing the number of
patients responding to immunotherapy. We have seen very promising effects in
cancer patients so far and are eagerly looking forward to receiving the results
from the clinical Phase II studies with our lead candidate", says Dr. Øystein
Rekdal, CEO of Lytix Biopharma.
