  • On April 17, NeuroVive has announced that the company's development project NVP014 for the treatment of ischemic stroke is entering a new phase in collaboration with UK partner Isomerase Therapeutics.
  • NeuroVive has established a subsidiary in Lyon, France, in April. The establishment is part of a process of extending its ongoing collaboration with Hospices Civils de Lyon (HCL) and Professor Michel Ovize (the OPeRa program) to include drug development for the treatment of stroke.
  • On April 21 NeuroVive announced that the independent safety committee has endorsed moving on to the next dose level without any safety issues, following the treatment of 10 of 20 patients in the ongoing clinical Phase IIa study for traumatic brain injury with the company's drug candidate NeuroSTAT®. Consequently, the study will continue as planned and move on to the next dosage group.

Comments from our CEO, Mikael Brönnegård

Both the parent company and NeuroVive's Taiwan subsidiary raised new capital during the first quarter of the year, while the subsidiary was also formally incorporated and a new management appointed. The capital raised by the parent company ensures the continued rapid commercialization of CicloMulsion® in Europe ahead of the product's potential market launch, as well as planned activities under other development projects. The private placement also broadened the parent company's investor base to include US and other international institutional investors. The seed financing in the Taiwan subsidiary will mainly be used for planned Asian phase III trials with CicloMulsion®. The study complements the European phase III trials (CIRCUS study) and is a pre-requisite for obtaining potential market approval in China.

NeuroVive's ongoing clinical trials program reached two important milestones in the quarter. The final patient treated in the CIRCUS study completed the one-year follow up in March, and the collation of the study data can now proceed as planned. The clinical phase II trials in Copenhagen with NeuroSTAT® for the treatment of traumatic brain injury are also continuing as planned. Part one of two was completed in March, with 10 of a total of 20 patients now treated under the study. A scheduled independent interim analysis of the study's safety profile was also prepared during the month.

NeuroVive also continued to position itself as a leader in the field of mitochondrial medicine. Having a presence at international scientific and medical congresses is an important part of this process, and NeuroVive presented study data on NVP019, our new drug candidate in the cyclophilin inhibitor class and the planned follow-up of CicloMulsion®/NeuroSTAT®, at the American College of Cardiology conference in San Diego in March. NeuroVive's aim is to develop more effective treatments for various acute medical conditions that cause oxygen deficiency in bodily tissues and organs, and we plan to participate in more conferences and to present pre-clinical and clinical projects during the spring.

An analysis of the surrounding world and NeuroVive's competitive position indicates a growing interest in mitochondrial medicine. The number of academic institutions and pharmaceutical companies that pursue drug development in this field has now reached critical mass, driving the research area forward and generating increased interest in NeuroVive's product portfolio internationally. In other words, NeuroVive is in a strong position at a time when the significance of mitochondria for the progression of a range of diseases is being increasingly understood. The high number of participants, probably the highest to date, at NeuroVive's Annual General Meeting in March, gives an indication of the growing interest in the company. It's inspiring to experience the expanding interest in NeuroVive as a pharmaceutical company focusing on developing drugs for conditions where there is currently no treatment. It's pleasing to see US investors also showing interest, who subscribed to the private placement on 7 May.

CEO, NeuroVive Pharmaceutical AB (publ)

Operations

NeuroVive conducts research and development of pharmaceuticals that protect the mitochondria, and pharmaceuticals that enhance mitochondrial function. Its development technology platform primarily consists of cyclosporine A, as well as molecules with a different chemical structure that serve to protect the mitochondria by inhibiting enzymes of the cyclophilin type. The collective term for this type of candidate drug (CD) is cyclophilin inhibitors. NeuroVive's product portfolio also includes CDs for cellular energy regulation. Cyclosporin A, the active compound of CicloMulsion® and NeuroStat®, has been on the market as an active pharmaceutical compound for nearly 30 years. This means that extensive safety data for this active compound is already extant.

The clinical trial on the company's product that has developed furthest, CicloMulsion®, is continuing as planned, and the final patient in this European phase III trial was treated in February. Work relating to regulation and preparing the market has also intensified, with the objective, assuming positive results, of being able to launch CicloMulsion® as soon as the regulatory authorities have granted approval. The clinical phase II trial in Denmark on NeuroSTAT® for TBI is also going forward as planned.

The active compound in the potent molecules that NeuroVive previously acquired is a derivative of the naturally occurring cyclophilin inhibitor Sanglifehrin. This new technology platform has several favorable characteristics that will be important to NeuroVive's future progress. Thanks to extensive preclinical work already completed, only limited further development work is necessary before the lead CD cyclophilin inhibitor can enter the clinical phase.

Within NeuroVive's core business, the new cyclophilin inhibitors are expected to be more potent (superior clinical efficacy) and more direct acting (less risk of adverse events) than NeuroVive's current products. The conditions for stronger patent protection (to around 2031-2035) are in place. Accordingly, NeuroVive anticipates the cyclophilin inhibitors complementing or completely replacing CicloMulsion®/NeuroSTAT® eventually, thus contributing to NeuroVive extending its leadership in mitochondrial medicine.

Business model

Revenues and results of operations

Revenues

The group's other operating revenues for the first quarter of 2015 of SEK 49,000 (43,000) consists primarily of foreign exchange gain.

Results of operations

The operating loss for the first quarter was SEK -14,718,000 (-9,860,000. The net loss before tax amounted to SEK -14,271,000 (-9,877,000).

The operating loss was affected by increased external expenses, which for the first quarter were SEK - 10,750,000 (-7,717,000). Expenses related to development projects have affected the result with SEK - 4,269,000 (-4,868,000). These expenses relates to development projects that have not reached phase I. The consulting expenses of the Company have increased compared to the corresponding period of the previous year, and expenses for legal consulting in connection to the ongoing arbitration with CicloMulsion AG. Personnel expenses also rose to SEK -3,303,000 (-2,126,000) because of a higher number of employees than the corresponding period of the previous year, due to intensified development work. The financial costs, SEK -64,000 (-85,000), relates to unrealized foreign exchange losses.

Financial position

The equity/assets ratio was 88 (91) % as of 31 March 2015, and equity was SEK 172,713,000 (141,357,000). Cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 104,735,000 (97,097,000) as of 31 March 2015, an increase of SEK 55,037,000 from the beginning of the year. Total assets as of 31 March 2015 were SEK 196,639,000 (155,834,000).

Cash flow and investments

Operating cash flow for the first quarter was SEK -23,134,000 (-17,353,000). Consolidated cash flow was SEK 56,200,000 (57,113,000), where the positive cash flow is explained by the share issue of SEK 79,782,000 (76,599,000). The cash flow effect due to investments has increased to SEK 240,000 (2,133,000) for the first quarter of 2015.

NeuvoVive does not hold any financial instruments measured at fair value. The reported value of financial instruments essentially corresponds to fair value.

Human resources

The average number of employees of the group for the period was 13 (8), of which 8 (4) are women.

Parent company

Most of the Group operations are conducted within the parent company. Accordingly, no further specific information regarding the parent company is presented.

Risks and uncertainty factors

A research company such as NeuroVive Pharmaceutical AB (publ) is subject to high operational and financial risks because the projects the company conducts are in different developmental phases, where a number of parameters influence the likelihood of commercial success. Briefly, operations are associated with risks relating to factors including drug development, competition, technological progress, patents, regulatory requirements, capital requirements, currencies and interest rates. New share issues in the first quarter of 2015 secured the company's capital requirement for its next development activities. In the current period, there have been no significant changes regarding risks or uncertainty factors.

The arbitration proceeding with CicloMulsion AG is ongoing. In March 2013, CicloMulsion AG invoked an arbitration by which it seeks to determine the contractual right of CicloMulsion AG to receive royalty. If the arbitration is settled in favor of CicloMulsion AG, NeuroVive may be liable to pay future royalties for 15 years after product launch. If the arbitration is settled in favor of the Company, it may be possible for NeuroVive to make no royalty payments. CicloMulsion AG has also claimed payment of 10% royalty from NVP AB on the 5m RMB payment already received by NVP Asia from Sihuan Pharma and made

further claims for compensation. NeuroVive's position is that there is no legal basis for such a claim. There is a possibility that CicloMulsion AG may raise further issues relating to the license during the arbitration proceedings. To date, the Tribunal has made a non-binding preliminary consideration of some questions of interpretation of the License Agreement under applicable contract law, while there has yet been no final decision. The Tribunal has recently begun assessing further key questions of the case, inter alia, the licensing and transfer of any know-how to NeuroVive and questions of anti-trust-law. As yet we have no definite timeline for a final award.

For more detail of risks and uncertainty factors, refer to the Statutory Administration Report in the Annual Report 2014 and the prospectus published 18th May 2015 for the rights issue in May 2015.

Incentive programs/share warrants Currently there is no incentive program.

The group's total loss carry-forwards amount to SEK 144,725,000 as of 31 March 2015 (91,032,000). The parent company's total loss carry-forwards amount to SEK 105,511,000 as of 31 March 2015 (87,413,000).
