PCI Biotech Raises NOK90 Million in Rights Issue
CEO Per Walday commented: “We are very satisfied with the share issue being oversubscribed. The capital increase of NOK 90 millions will enable us to complete the planned clinical development for 3 to 4 selected cancer indications. When you take into account this strengthened cash position and the very promising results achieved so far in the ongoing Phase I/II study at University College Hospital in London, we are now well positioned for the further development of both our pipeline and PCI Biotech as a company”,
