Regulatory News:
ACTICOR BIOTECH (FR0014005OJ5 - ALACT), a clinical stage
biopharmaceutical company developing glenzocimab, an innovative
drug for the treatment of cardiovascular emergencies, today
announces that the Commercial Court of Paris has pronounced the
opening of receivership proceedings (“procédure de redressement
judiciaire”) in favor of Acticor Biotech, thereby extending the
company's cash horizon to January 2025.
Following the publication of its annual financial statements on
July 9, 2024, the Company announced that it would be able to
finance its activities until September 2024. This is why, in order
to study all possible actions to perpetuate its business, and after
informing the employee representative bodies, Acticor Biotech filed
a declaration of cessation of payments with the Paris Commercial
Court. Following a hearing on August 6, 2024, the Paris Commercial
Court issued a ruling declaring the opening of receivership
proceedings for Acticor Biotech.
As soon as the receivership procedure is initiated, an
observation period of 6 months, renewable, is provided for.
The purpose of the receivership is to enable the Company to
evaluate all possible solutions to enable it to pursue its
development. The implementation of this procedure will extend the
Company's cash flow horizon until January 2025 and enable it to
continue its active search for financing and partnerships.
Acticor Biotech has asked Euronext to suspend its share price
from August 7, 2024, before the opening of trading. Given the
uncertainty surrounding the outcome of the receivership proceedings
and the steps taken by the Company, the suspension of the listing
of the shares is maintained until further notice.
Press releases will be issued as the proceedings progress.
The Annual General Meeting called to approve the financial
statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, which was
originally scheduled for September 13, 2024, has been postponed to
a later date.
About ACTICOR BIOTECH
Acticor Biotech is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company
developing glenzocimab, an innovative drug for the treatment of
cardiovascular emergencies, particularly ischemic stroke.
The positive results of the phase 1b/2a study, ACTIMIS,
published in January 2024 in the Lancet Neurology (link to
publication) confirmed the safety profile of glenzocimab and showed
a reduction in mortality and intracerebral hemorrhage in the
glenzocimab-treated group of stroke patients. A post-hoc analysis
of brain imaging at 0 and 24 hours using artificial intelligence
confirmed these results, showing a reduction in the number and
volume of intracerebral lesions in patients treated with
glenzocimab.
On April 25, 2024, the company announced the initial results of
the international phase 2/3 ACTISAVE study in the treatment of
acute ischemic stroke, which showed no efficacy of glenzocimab on
the primary endpoint, the proportion of patients with severe
disability or death (mRS 4-6) 90 days after stroke, nor on the
secondary endpoint, the proportion of patients returning to life
without disability (mRS 0-2).
On May 15, 2024, Prof. Martin K�hrmann (Principal Investigator
of ACTISAVE) presented the main results of the study at the opening
session of the European Stroke Organization Conference (ESOC),
confirming the neutrality of the study on the primary and secondary
endpoints, and showing trends in return to normal life (mRS 0-1),
notably in sub-populations of patients with complete recanalization
after mechanical thrombectomy.
Glenzocimab is also being evaluated in a Phase 2b LIBERATE
clinical trial initiated by academic teams in the treatment of
myocardial infarction, with final results expected in Q4 2025.
Acticor Biotech is supported by a panel of European and
international investors (Mediolanum farmaceutici, Karista, Go
Capital, Newton Biocapital, CMS Medical Venture Investment (HK)
Limited, A&B (HK) Limited, Anaxago, and the Armesa Foundation)
and has been listed on Euronext Growth Paris since November 2021
(ISIN: FR0014005OJ5 - ALACT).
