About Evgen Pharma plc
Evgen Pharma is a clinical stage drug development company
developing sulforaphane based medicines for the treatment of
multiple diseases . The Company's core technology is Sulforadex
(R), a method for synthesising and stabilising the naturally
occurring compound sulforaphane and novel proprietary analogues
based on sulforaphane. The lead product, SFX-01, is a patented
composition of synthetic sulforaphane and alpha-cyclodextrin.
Clinical data from the Company's open-label Phase II STEM trial
has shown that SFX-01 can halt the growth of progressing tumours in
patients with oestrogen-positive (ER+) metastatic breast cancer,
and in some cases significantly shrink the tumour, whilst causing
very few side effects.
The Company commenced operations in January 2008 and has its
headquarters at The Colony, Wilmslow, Cheshire, and its registered
office is at the Liverpool Science Park, Liverpool. It joined the
AIM market of the London Stock Exchange in October 2015 and trades
under the ticker symbol EVG.
