Martin Olin, Chief Executive Officer of BerGenBio stated:

"The BGBC016 clinical trial continued to progress well during the quarter. An independent review of the final cohort in the Ph1b part showed acceptable safety allowing initiation of the 2^nd dose in the Ph2a part, and we completed the activation of the Ph2a sites. We now look forward to sharing preliminary efficacy data from the Ph2a portion of the study as they mature. During the quarter we strengthened our financial position which will, combined with our continuing cost discipline, fund our planned activities into the second half of 2025. The BGBC016 clinical trial is our highest priority, and we remain dedicated to unlocking the significant value potential in bemcentinib."
