Commenting on the annual results, Manfred Rüdiger, CEO of Kiadis Pharma, said: “We have continued to make good progress with our lead product ATIR101™ during 2016. The statistically significant clinical data from our CR-AIR-007 Phase II trial shows substantially improved benefits on Overall Survival and Graft-versus-Host and Relapse-free Survival (GRFS), which exceeded our expections. We have continued to maintain a close relationship with EMA and based on our Phase II clinical data, our previously obtained ATMP certificate for manufacturing/quality and non-clinical data, as well as our recently accepted Pediatric Investigational Plan, we are now in the final stages of preparing our application dossier for submission to EMA for marketing authorization in Europe. In addition, we have further strengthened the Company and the teams at all levels within the organization. I would like to thank our investors for their support in bringing ATIR101™ closer to patients and my team for their enthusiasm and hard work.”
