Regulatory News:
ACTICOR BIOTECH (FR0014005OJ5 - ALACT), a clinical stage
biopharmaceutical company developing glenzocimab, an innovative
drug for the treatment of cardiovascular emergencies, today
provides an update on the call for tenders launched on 12 September
2024, with a view to a restructuring plan (plan de continuation),
or sale under the current receivership procedure (plan de
cession).
On September 13 2024, the court-appointed administrator
(administrateur judiciaire) has published an advertisement in the
newspaper Les Echos seeking new investors to provide a
restructuring plan (plan de continuation, articles L.626-1 et seq.
of the French Commercial Code), or failing that, potential buyers
for the business and assets of the Company (plan de cession,
articles L.642-1 et seq. of the French Commercial Code).
With no response to date, and to enable the Company to continue
its search for new investors or partners to support its new
development plan in STEMI (ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction), the
court-appointed administrator has granted an extension of the
invitation to tender until Tuesday 5 November 2024 at 12:00
pm.
Interested parties wishing to respond to the extended call for
tenders are invited to express their interest by e-mail to the
following addresses:
- Marine Pace: m.pace@aj-2m.com
- Roxane Brodin: r.brodin@aj-2m.com

A new announcement to this effect was also published today by
the court-appointed administrator on several specialized online
platforms (including Mayday, ASPAJ, CNAJMJ).
As a reminder, on 6 August 2024, the Paris Commercial Court
ordered the opening of receivership proceedings. The purpose of
these proceedings is to enable the Company to assess all the
options available to it to pursue its development, the development
of its product, glenzocimab, and its search for financing and
partners. This procedure will also enable the Company to finance
its operations until January 2025.
About ACTICOR BIOTECH
ACTICOR BIOTECH, a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company
founded in 2013 from the work of INSERM, is developing glenzocimab,
a humanized monoclonal antibody fragment (fab) targeting the GPVI
platelet receptor for the treatment of cardiovascular emergencies
and acute thrombotic diseases.
The main clinical indication being evaluated is acute ischemic
stroke, due to the strong need for safer treatments, particularly
those that do not increase the risk of bleeding, and its high
incidence. In three international clinical trials involving over
600 stroke patients, no significant impact on neurological
improvement (mRS score at 3 months) was demonstrated, with the
exception of a sub-population of patients with intracerebral
haemorrhage, where mortality was significantly reduced by a factor
of 3 (p=0.035) (Mazighi et al. 2024).
LIBERATE, a Phase 2 clinical trial in the acute phase of
myocardial infarction (STEMI), is currently being recruited through
an academic partnership with the University of Birmingham (UK).
This study aims to demonstrate the efficacy of glenzocimab in
reducing the size of myocardial infarction, a critical factor for
long-term cardiac function.
In all, more than 800 subjects were included in the clinical
trials, over 400 of whom were exposed to glenzocimab without safety
concerns.
The use of glenzocimab in thrombotic diseases is covered by 3
patent families, with an expiry date in 2036 for the first family.
ACTICOR BIOTECH also has the right to develop a biomarker for
stroke patients.
Acticor Biotech is backed 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).
