KTH222 Evaluation Agreement Concluded

London, UK - ValiRx plc (AIM:VAL), a clinical stage drug development company announces that further to the notification made on 10 November 2020 it has concluded its agreement in relation to the evaluation of the KTH222 peptide as a drug candidate announced on 10 November 2020 for treating patients with ovarian cancer.

ValiRx announced on 10 November 2020 that it had entered into an agreement with Kalos Therapeutics ("Kalos"), whereby ValiRx would perform a range of preclinical evaluation experiments to determine whether to enter a full licensing agreement for the therapeutic candidate.

At the conclusion of the estimated six-month evaluation schedule, ValiRx has elected to terminate the agreement and has returned all data generated to Kalos.

Dr Suzy Dilly, Chief Executive Officer commented:

"The agreement with Kalos is a good example of our new strategy to perform a considered yet straightforward assessment of best-fit between scientific programmes and the Company. By identifying early in this process that KTH222 is not a good strategic fit for our pipeline, we have been able to return the asset to the originators and continue our efforts to seek new science to bring into the Company. We look forward to presenting the next new project to the pipeline in due course."
