Nordic Nanovector ASA announces its results for the first quarter 2021. A live webcast presentation by Nordic Nanovector’s management team will take place today at 08.30 CEST.
The results report and the presentation are also available on the company’s website in the section: Investors & Media/Reports and Presentation/Interim Reports/2021. A replay of the webcast will be made available at the same location after the event.
Peter L. Braun, Chief Executive Officer of Nordic Nanovector, commented: “Nordic Nanovector has made important progress so far in 2021, including raising the money needed to deliver the preliminary top-line three-month data from the PARADIGME study and to prepare for a subsequent potential BLA filing for Betalutin®. The company has also implemented a range of initiatives aimed at improving patient recruitment into PARADIGME, and which we believe will further improve patient enrolment when the impact of COVID-19 recedes. I am convinced that effective and well-tolerated, targeted radiopharmaceuticals, such as Betalutin®, a one-time treatment, can make a real difference to NHL patients worldwide.”

Outlook
Nordic Nanovector’s current focus is to complete patient enrolment into PARADIGME and the target is to announce the preliminary readout of three-month top line data from PARADIGME by end 2021.
Following the recent successful Private Placement and Repair Offering, the company has extended its cash runway into H2’2022, which in addition to allowing it to deliver the top line data from PARADIGME, will enable further preparatory work on the potential Betalutin® BLA filing to be undertaken.
The company believes that, if positive, the PARADIGME trial data could represent a significant value inflection point for the company and its shareholders, confirming Betalutin® as a highly promising new targeted radioimmunotherapy that can address the unmet needs of R/R FL patients.
