Jason Loveridge, Ph.D., CEO of 4SC, commented: "Given the positive topline data from the RESMAIN study, Kinselby is extremely well placed for the next stage of its development as we look to commercialize the drug through either a sale, licensing or partnership. Kinselby remains uniquely positioned as a maintenance therapy in CTCL, where there are no alternative comparable treatments and it offers significant benefits for patients by halting disease progression. We are focused on near term registrations of Kinselby to get this important drug to patients as quickly as possible."
