CEO statement

The patient recruitment for the CONDUCT study is back on track again after the summer. Over 70 percent of the total 215 patients have now been enrolled and the recruitment rate is back at the level we had during the spring. Thus, we follow the updated timeline and expect to report the top line results no later than the second quarter of 2019. We will announce when the last patient has been enrolled and the top line results are expected to be available within 3 months thereafter.

We have now 90 clinics across Europe that can enrol patients. We continue to visit and communicate directly with the clinics to keep them engaged in the study. I was for example myself in France last week and met with several of our investigators there. There is a positive interest in cobitolimod from the physicians, not least thanks to the new and unique mechanism of action.

At the end of October, we carried out a directed share issue to a small group of reputable investors who had shown interest and the company received proceeds of approximately SEK 37.5 million. We are very pleased with the confidence shown in us and the commitment from these new financially strong shareholders that have chosen to invest in InDex. Through the transaction, the ownership base has been broadened with experienced and successful investors in Swedish drug development companies.

The capital injection is primarily intended to strengthen our cash position ahead of the top line results in the CONDUCT study. More cash on hand when the results become available provides strategic flexibility and increases our possibilities to optimize the value of cobitolimod.

On November 21, I will present InDex at the Redeye Life Science Seminar in Stockholm and the weeks thereafter at investor meetings in Copenhagen and Gothenburg. The idea is to gradually increase our visibility leading up to the top line results of the CONDUCT study. I hope to meet both current and future shareholders along the way and I look forward to the study results with confidence.
