Investors have reacted to March quarter results from clinical stage drug development company Noxopharm (ASX:NOX) today.  In its ASX announcement NOX mentioned the board had made a strategic decision to focus on its tech platforms Sofra and Chroma technology platform and discontinue two clinical trials.

NOX said, given the promising nature of Chroma and Sofra research and to mitigate risk and prudently use the company’s limited resources, the board determined to prioritise the development of these two preclinical programs and limit further investment into Veyonda clinical trials by discontinuing DARRT2 and CEP-2.

“We are naturally disappointed to have discontinued the DARRT-2 and CEP-2 trials, but slow patient recruitment due to the ongoing COVID impact on the US healthcare system, as well as challenges with patients accepting the drug’s suppository delivery method, led to a projected unsustainable rise in costs and trial delays,” CEO and MD Dr Gisela Mautner said.

The company has a cash position of $6.4 million to support development programs.
