Nanoform Finland Plc | Company Release | November 12, 2025 at 08:10:00 EET
Our product kernels see good momentum. Nanoenzalutamide progresses with the fed arm of the pivotal human study. Licensing and development agreement around Nanoencorafenib signed with two specialist investors. Nanoapalutamide discussions continue with several interested parties. A new kernel, a nanoformulated combination of olaparib (Lynparza® originally developed by AstraZeneca Plc) and temozolomide (Temodar® originally developed by Merck & Company Inc.), as a locally-administered, long-acting, thermo-responsive hydrogel, for the treatment of high-grade glioma, announced in partnership with Revio Therapeutics. Originator business still hampered by a tough funding environment for biotechs and large personnel reductions at major pharma companies, with slower signings in Q3, despite record numbers of proposals sent. Cash burn continues to improve, helped by lower costs and higher customer payments. All 2025 near-term targets on track. First target for 2026 announced: Cash burn below EUR 10m. CMD date set for December 16th, when new 2030 mid-term targets will be announced. European commercial cGMP manufacturing license received.

CEO's review
Nanoform continues to progress on many fronts. During 2025 we've seen significant scale-up, automation and industrialization achievements on both our small molecule and biologics technology platforms, new patents have been granted, new deals have been signed, customer payments, including the first milestone payments related to our product kernels clearly exceed last year's revenues, costs are down and our cash burn has continued to improve. And last, but certainly not least, Nanoform is now a holder of a European commercial cGMP manufacturing license. I am very proud of this achievement, it is not every day a new technology gets a commercial license in the pharma industry.
Our product kernels continue to see good momentum. Nanoenzalutamide progresses with the fed arm of the pivotal human study and we expect the final results by year-end. A licensing and development agreement was signed around Nanoencorafenib with two specialist investors, which can open up more similar deals with investors in the coming years. Nanoapalutamide discussions continue with several interested parties. A new kernel, a nanoformulated combination of olaparib and temozolomide, as a locally-administered, long-acting, thermo-responsive hydrogel, for the treatment of high-grade glioma, was announced in partnership with Revio Therapeutics.
Our originator business is still hampered by a tough funding environment for biotechs and large personnel reductions at major pharma companies, with slower signings in Q3, but a record numbers of proposals sent show that there is significant interest in our offerings among not only pharma companies, but also investors.
I'm pleased that our Biologics technology offering continues to garner increased interest from the pharma industry. Takeda presenting results at several conferences from their nanoforming project has further increased the interest. Their presentation entitled, “A Novel Nanoformed Presentation of AAT for the Treatment of Pulmonary Emphysema in AAT Deficient Patients,” showed nanoforming as an alternative administration strategy for an AAT replacement therapy, based on a novel solidification platform from Nanoform. Their comparison with other methods such as spray drying showed that the nanoformed particulate material could deposit significantly higher amounts of AAT within the alveolar system. At the same conferences Nanoform has presented the successful generation of nanotrastuzumab, a high concentration nanoformulation of trastuzumab, suitable for subcutaneous injection, enabling more than 400mg/ml dose in a single 2mL syringe, instead of intravenous injections. These presentations have got a lot of attention, further enhanced by Halozyme's recently announced acquisition of Elektrofi for almost USD 1bn, which greatly raises the awareness of the potential of high-concentration subcutaneous injections of monoclonal antibodies.
We expect the positive trends in both increased customer payments and reduced costs to continue and announced our first target for 2026: Cash burn below EUR 10m. The Capital Market's Day will be held on December, 16th, when new 2030 mid-term targets will be announced.
For Nanoform the last years have been about making large investments and building a capable organization. The coming years is about preparing to launch nanoformed products together withpartners onto the global markets. We are ready for the challenge. I look forward with confidence and excitement to the coming years. None of this can be done without our amazing employees and great partners. My sincere THANK YOU to you all for your continued dedication to Nanoform and for the inspiring and innovative work for which we’re known.
Best Regards,
Prof. Edward Hæggström, CEO Nanoform
