About Clavis Pharma Clavis Pharma ASA is an oncology focused pharmaceutical company using its proprietary Lipid Vector Technology (LVT) platform to create New Chemical Entities (NCEs), by significantly improving already established drugs. The improvements are achieved by chemically binding specific unsaturated lipids to existing, and well understood, approved pharmaceuticals. Data generated suggests the resulting patentable NCEs offer improved efficacy and reduced side effects through enhanced pharmacokinetic properties, greater tissue penetration and, in many cases, additional modes of action. Clavis Pharma's objective is to develop its drug candidates until significant value has been created and proof of principle in man has been shown. For further clinical development and commercialisation of the products, Clavis Pharma will enter into strategic partnerships with established pharmaceutical or biotech companies. The company's product portfolio includes three new cancer drugs, of which the first ELACYT(TM) , is in Clinical Phase II, the second, CP-4126, is in Clinical Phase I, and the third, CP-4200, is in Preclinical Development. Results indicate that these products have promising potential for several cancer indications within solid tumours and leukaemia. The shares of Clavis Pharma ASA are listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange, with the ticker CLAVIS. Additional information can be found at: www.clavispharma.com.
