NXP004 patent application filing

Nuformix plc (LSE: NFX), a pharmaceutical development company targeting unmet medical needs in fibrosis and oncology via drug repurposing, announces that it has filed a new patent application in relation to NXP004.

This filing covers a new family of co-crystalline forms of an undisclosed marketed drug that is approved globally for the treatment of several cancers and that had global sales of over £1bn in 2020. This is the second patent application related to NXP004 that Nuformix has filed and it complements the previous patent application on NXP004 co-crystals, thus expanding the Company's intellectual property portfolio.

Anne Brindley, Chief Executive Officer, Nuformix, commented: "We are pleased to have filed this new patent application for NXP004. Data that we have generated on these new co-crystal forms in the past six months has shown improvements over the marketed form that justifies filing this new application. This application, if granted, will strengthen the patent estate for NXP004 and Nuformix's IP portfolio as a whole."
