BioStock: Rights issue to give Biosergen first in-human efficacy data

Biosergen AB is a Sweden-based biotechnology company. It carries out biopharmaceutical research and development through its Subsidiary Biosergen AS from laboratory facilities in Trondheim, Norway and several other places worldwide. The Company is developing BSG005, a potentially disruptive antifungal drug which has demonstrated safety and potency advantages over competing antifungals. Biosergen initially aims BSG005 towards invasive fungal infections that claim the lives of hundreds of thousands of immune-compromised AIDS, cancer and transplant patients every year. At equal dose levels BSG005 has demonstrated a three-to-fouold potency advantage against the relevant fungal strains compared to the current standard of care, while being completely free of the kidney toxicity hampering other drugs in its class.
