Kempen & Co acted as Joint Bookrunner in Oryzon Genomics’ Capital Increase of €20 million
Oryzon is a leading European epigenetics biotechnology company developing a portfolio of products focused on the central nervous system and oncology around LSD1 (the most abundant enzyme in the human frontal cortex). The Company has recorded positive clinical efficacy data in initial trials across all indications that it is targeting. Most recently the Company reported positive efficacy data in acute myeloid leukaemia in June 2020 where their product, iadademstat, in combination with azacitidine in elderly patients demonstrated an overall response rate of 77% (10 out of 13 evaluable patients), of which 60% are in complete remission. Additionally, the Company reported positive data from its aggression study in Alzheimer’s disease in April 2020 which showed that the product is safe and well tolerated and also led to a significant reduction of agitation-aggression after 6 months of treatment. The Company plans to initiate Phase IIb trials with its lead product for the treatment of aggression in borderline personality disorder in Q1 2021.
