Positive
Clinical Trial Activation Milestone: We now have 13 of our top 15 sites either fully activated or with signed clinical trial agreements, which is a significant milestone in our operational progress.
Patient Enrollment Strategy: We anticipate that these sites, especially our top 5, will enroll a disproportionately large number of patients, enhancing our trial's effectiveness.
Regulatory Approval Secured: We are pleased to have quickly secured regulatory approval from the South African Health Products Regulatory Authority, allowing us to proceed with our clinical trials.
DM199 in Preeclampsia Study: We believe DM199 has the potential to be disease-modifying in preeclampsia and hope to demonstrate this in the Part 1a of the study, which will be announced in the first half of 2025.
Enrollment Rate Acceleration: We expect that the protocol updates will accelerate enrollment rates with the addition of a subgroup of stroke patients that have the potential to be high responders to DM199 therapy.
