About Clavis Pharma

Clavis Pharma ASA is a clinical stage oncology discovery and drug development company based in Oslo, Norway with a portfolio of novel anti-cancer drugs in development. These patented New Chemical Entities (NCEs) are novel, improved versions of commercially successful drugs, made using Clavis Pharma's Lipid Vector Technology (LVT) chemistry. Data generated suggests these potential breakthrough products may offer improved efficacy and reduced side effects through enhanced pharmacokinetic properties, greater tissue penetration, altered metabolism and, in certain cases, additional modes of action.

Clavis Pharma's has several drug candidates in formal development studies:

> Elacytarabine, a leukaemia drug, currently in a randomized, controlled Phase III study in late-stage acute myeloid leukaemia;
> CP-4126, is currently in a Phase II comparative study with gemcitabine for the treatment of pancreatic cancer;
> CP-4200, an azacitidine derivative, in preclinical development for myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), a disease that is often a precursor to leukaemia.

Clavis Pharma intends to commercialise its products through strategic alliances and partnerships with experienced oncology businesses and, where and when commercially appropriate, by establishing its own sales and marketing capabilities. CP-4126 is licensed to Clovis Oncology globally. Clavis Pharma has an option to co-promote CP-4126 in Europe.
