Company restructuring update

 

Focus on validating Exosome delivery technology platform

Cash runway extended into 2024

Headcount reduced by 40%

 

ReNeuron Group plc (AIM: RENE) , a UK-based R&D organisation focused on stem-cell derived exosome delivery technologies, announces that further to the announcement of 3 January 2023, the Company has undertaken a restructuring of the business. Headcount has been reduced by 40%, the overall variable costs of the business lowered and, as a result, the cash runway now extends into 2024 with all resources being directed towards generating in vivo data and validating the Company's exosome delivery technology platform CustomEX™.

 

ReNeuron has developed a proprietary stem cell-derived, exosome-based, drug delivery platform with customisable cellular targeting capabilities for the delivery of complex drug modalities. Through the generation of several unique and scalable exosome producer cell lines, the CustomEX™ platform can be optimised for specific tissues targets and payloads leading to improvements in therapeutic outcome and a reduction in off-target effects; thereby supporting the commercial proposition. 

 

Iain Ross, Executive Chairman, commented: "Strategically, the goal is to achieve the commercial validation of our CustomEX™ delivery platform and in order to do this we will generate in vivo data aimed at clearly differentiating our platform from that of our competitors. We aim to demonstrate the effective uptake, biodistribution and functionality of cargo delivered by CustomEX™ . In addition, we plan to discontinue, out-license and/or dispose of all the Company's legacy assets. We will provide further updates in due course."

About ReNeuron  

ReNeuron has developed a proprietary stem cell-derived, exosome-based, drug delivery platform with customisable cellular targeting capabilities for the delivery of complex drug modalities.

 

Through the generation of several unique and scalable exosome producer cell lines, our CustomEX™ platform can be optimised for specific tissues targets and payloads leading to improvements in therapeutic outcome and a reduction in off-target effects.  ReNeuron offers a delivery mechanism for a variety of payloads such as siRNA, mRNA, proteins, small molecules and genes. Through its conditionally immortalised induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) platform, the Company can make allogeneic tissue cells of choice and has the potential to produce exosomes with tissue specific targeting ability.
