Commenting on the results, Professor Trevor Jones, Chairman, said:
“ReNeurons principal focus in the period under review has been to address the FDA’s questions and requests for further data regarding the clinical trial application for our ReN001 therapy. We have now completed the process of submitting our responses and IND amendments to the FDA. Based on the data we have generated over the course of this year, we remain confident of achieving our objective of commencing an initial clinical trial with ReN001 in 2008.”
“Progress with our other therapeutic programmes has given us further cause for encouragement. The acquisition of the cell encapsulation technology from AmCyte has greatly bolstered our ReN002 programme for Type 1 diabetes, and our programmes for Parkinson’s disease and diseases of the retina have also made good progress in the period. We look forward to reporting further progress across these programmes over the coming months.”
