Pharmaceutical company Evgen Pharma reported slightly wider losses as a reduction in payroll costs were offset by increased professional fees and business development costs.

For the year ended 31 March 2020, pre-tax losses widened to £2.7m from £2.6m.

Looking ahead, the company said it would complete its key toxicology and formulation work and the initiation of new clinical trials on SFX-01 in new indications.

'We believe that the value of SFX-01 as a potential drug active in each of the Nrf2 and STAT3 pathways will become increasingly clear and the considerable commercial opportunity this represents recognised,' it added.
