Bo Rode Hansen, President and CEO comments

"Positive interim CORIST results highlight an intensive quarter – The second quarter of 2021 was as busy and rewarding as the first three months. We reached several milestones both clinically and organizationally. Most importantly, we reported positive interim results from our Phase II
clinical study CORIST."

Highlights during Q2 2021

On 21 April, Scandion Oncology announced that Dr. Richard L. Schilsky, a seasoned and highly profiled international leader, was appointed as member of Scandion Oncology’s clinical advisory board
On 2 June, Scandion Oncology appointed Johnny Stilou as new CFO. He has long experience from both Danish and international listed companies.
On 24 June, Scandion Oncology reported positive results from the dose-finding part 1 of the CORIST Phase II study. A well tolerated dose of SCO-101 in combination with the chemotherapy regimen FOLFIRI had been determined and the SCO-101 treatment in the optimized combination resulted in notable potentiation of the biological activity of FOLFIRI. Furthermore, from the CORIST study the RAS oncogene has been identified as a predictive biomarker of optimal SCO-101 effect. This discovery will be used to optimize the inclusion of patients in part 2. These positive data have significantly de-risked the further development of SCO-101 and the company is now ready to advance to the proof-of-concept study (part 2) of CORIST.
On 30 June, Scandion Oncology announced promising preclinical data from the ongoing collaboration with Alligator Bioscience AB, exploring the anti-tumor effects on drug resistant cancer by combining Scandion Oncology’s drug candidate SCO-101 and Alligator Bioscience’s candidate drug mitazalimab together with chemotherapy.
Highlights after the end of the period

On 19 July, Scandion Oncology announced the date for the Scandion Oncology Capital Markets Day, which will take place on September 8, 2021.
