SIGNIFICANT EVENTS IN THE SECOND QUARTER
• All the planned 42 + 42 patients have now been included in the clinical study of STEEN Solution™ in the USA and the clinical results are very promising.
• At the ISHLT conference in April, three leading clinics outside the USA (Toronto, Paris and Europe’s largest lung transplant clinic in Vienna) presented very good clinical data for 112 patients using XVIVO Perfusion’s product STEEN Solution™. The results show that by using STEEN Solution™ the clinics were able to save many lungs that had initially been assessed as unusable. The lungs were transplanted into patients in need, and the results were at least as good as for lungs initially deemed acceptable.
• During the quarter, the company submitted its response to the FDA’s supplementary questions regarding the application for marketing approval of STEEN Solution™ on the US market. The FDA is expected to notify its decision in the third quarter.
• At the end of June a total of 47 patients in the USA had been transplanted with lungs made available through the use of Steen Solution™ and XVIVO’s perfusion machine XPS™.
