Paris, November 14, 2013 - BioAlliance Pharma SA (Euronext Paris - BIO), an innovative Company dedicated to the development of orphan oncology products and to supportive care products, today published the major key milestones achieved during the third quarter of 2013.
July was marked by a successful capital increase which enabled the Company to raise a net amount of €8.4 million and showed strong support from its shareholders, specifically the two largest, Financière de la Montagne and IDInvest. This transaction was strongly oversubscribed and has significantly reinforced the cash reserves amounting to €15.1 million as of September 30, 2013.
In parallel, BioAlliance Pharma has achieved major milestones in the development of its two key programs (Orphan Oncology Products portfolio):
BioAlliance Pharma has associated the best worldwide experts in the area to each of its two products, Livatag® and Validive® , to ensure the clinical and regulatory relevance of the Company's development options in indications where the current lack of available treatment requires new therapeutic approaches.
Furthermore, BPIfrance has recognized the innovation brought by Livatag® with the grant of €9 million in funding to the NICE (Nano Innovation for Cancer) consortium (with €4.3 million directly allocated to BioAlliance as leader of the consortium) whose purpose is to build a pioneer platform dedicated to nanomedicines.
Moreover, BioAlliance Pharma has reinforced the protection of Sitavig® with the grant of two new patents in the United States and in South Korea. The product's market exclusivity is thus guaranteed until 2029 in major international territories and represents an additional asset to sign an agreement with commercial partners.
At last, outside any new license agreement, the consolidated turnover for the third quarter 2013 stood at €246,000 and amounted to €1.1 million over the first 9 months.
"The third semester of 2013 was devoted to the international expansion of our two clinical trials in an increasing number of leading hospitals", declared Judith Greciet, CEO of BioAlliance Pharma. "The trial with Validive® is approaching its completion with results expected in 2014, a critical year for the product's and the Company's valorization. Our capital increase achieved beginning of the third semester has enabled us to reinforce our cash reserves. Active discussions are ongoing to secure a partnership agreement on Sitavig® which should represent a new source of revenue to face the next steps over the coming months".
End of recruitment of the Phase II clinical trial planned H1 2014 with preliminary results expected H2 2014
