DiviTum TKa results presented at ASCO, the world's largest cancer conference
Results with DiviTum TKa from the GEICAM/2014- 12 FLIPPER trial in
This was the first placebo-controlled study for DiviTum TKa. Thymidine kinase activity (TKa) levels were measured in 189 patients who were being treated with either the endocrine therapy fulvestrant plus the CDK4/6 inhibitor palbociclib or fulvestrant plus placebo. A total of 910 plasma samples were collected, which was done at baseline and then every three months of the first year of therapy. The study investigators' findings were as follows:
- Low Baseline (BL) DiviTum TKa values predict better progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS).
- Higher TKa at BL and at 12 weeks were detected in patients for whom the disease had progressed during the first 12 months of therapy.
- In cases of progression, patients on fulvestrant plus palbociclib tended to have higher TKa levels than fulvestrant plus placebo, reflecting faster- growing tumors.
- High TKa at BL predicted shorter overall survival (OS) in the group that was being treated with fulvestrant plus palbociclib.

Comments on the financial performance of the Group
Q3 - Sales and earnings
The quarter covers the period
Net sales for the period amounted to
Sales of Tests (IVD) for the US market have developed positively compared to the same period previous year. There have not been any sales of Tests (IVD) for the European market via our European distributors there since they are still ramping up. Sales of Tests (RUO) and DiviTum Kits (RUO) primarily to the pharmaceutical industry have also continued to develop positively compared to the same period previous year. More information is provided in Note 1, Segment reporting.
The operating loss for the period was
The earnings improvement compared to the corresponding period previous year is attributable higher sales and a reduction in expenses after the company restructuring that was implemented in
Net financial items amounted to
The average number of employees for the quarter was 26 (38) employees, of which 14 (20) are women.
First three quarters - Sales and earnings
Net sales for the period amounted to
There has been growth in Tests (IVD) for the US market, DiviTum Kits (IVD) for the European market and Tests (RUO) to the pharmaceutical industry. However, sales of DiviTum Kits (RUO) to the pharmaceutical industry were somewhat weaker compared to the same period last year. This was due to the fact that a large customer recently concluded a trial involving DiviTum Kits. The customer had purchased several DiviTum Kits in Q2 23/24, when the trial was ongoing. Because of this, sales of DiviTum Kits (RUO) in the period were weaker compared to the same period last year. Because the sales of both Tests (RUO) and DiviTum Kits (RUO) are driven by various trials, it is natural that there will be fluctuations between quarters and years. However, as we expand our base of customers in the RUO area, the risk of such fluctuations will diminish over time. More information is provided in Note 1, Segment reporting.
The operating loss for the period was
The earnings improvement compared to the corresponding period previous year is attributable higher sales and a reduction in expenses after the company restructuring that was implemented in

The average number of employees for the period was 26 (37) employees, of which 14 (20) are women.
