Significant events during the second quarter (Apr-Jun)
- On 26 May,
Lipidor announced that it has set its sights on a new Phase III study with AKP02 in 2024 after analysing data from the previously conducted clinical study with the drug candidate AKP02.

An in-depth analysis of why the effect of the different preparations differed has resulted in an explanatory model that is now undergoing a verification programme. - On 22 June,
Lipidor announced that theSwedish Medical Products Agency assessed that AKP02G2, the modified version of the company's drug candidate AKP02 for the treatment of psoriasis, can be used in a new clinical Phase III study. This means that no further clinical studies with AKP02G2 will be needed before a new Phase III study can be initiated. - On 29 June,

Statement from Lipidor’s CEO
After last year's setback, we have worked intensively on evaluating, defining, and developing an updated business plan for
We have gained a lot of experience and knowledge from the Phase III study carried out in 2022. Based on these lessons we have been able to make important changes in our formulation, which should help create an effect profile that is more comparable to the original drug.
There are several strong arguments for focusing on AKP02G2:
- There is a large and growing market for an improved formulation of the lead product for the treatment of mild to moderate psoriasis, and competition is judged to be limited, based on analysis of ongoing late phase clinical trials.
- We already have a partnership with one of
Europe 's largest pharmaceutical companies, Menarini/Relife, which includes all of the relevant steps for taking AKP02G2 through registration and launch on the European market. - We have come a long way in setting up commercial production, and therefore feel confident in our ability to produce products for commercial needs.
Our assessment is that the potential for AKP02G2 is better now than when the previous Phase III study was initiated. With our new insights, the conditions for achieving positive results are likely to improve, and with this as a starting point, our agreement with Menarini/RELIFE needs to be updated. The dialogue around this is ongoing, in a positive spirit.
New Phase III study
The aim of the study will be to evaluate the efficacy, safety and equivalence of the updated formulation AKP02G2 in comparison with the same market-leading product as last time. The study design will include patients with mild to moderate psoriasis and the evaluation of effect will also take place in the same way as in the previous study. We have also held a meeting with the
Financing
Based on the new continuations, the work to finance the next step in the company's development is also intensified. We will provide updates on this shortly and are very confident in the process and we have received very positive feedback so far regarding our focused AKP02G2 approach.
With our new focus, I am convinced that we are on the right track and that the continuation of reaching our high goals is good.
