SAS study clarification
Evgen Pharma (AIM: EVG), a clinical stage drug development
company focused on the treatment of cancer and neurological
conditions, provides the following clarification:
Further to this morning's earlier announcement, the Company can
confirm that it remains well funded to pursue commercial
opportunities for SFX-01 in oncology and other disease areas. Evgen
is unlikely to pursue the subarachnoid haemorrhage opportunity
given the data announced earlier today. The reference to a
strategic review relates to the significance of these data on
related neurological indications.

About Evgen Pharma plc
Evgen Pharma is a clinical stage drug development company whose
lead programmes are in breast cancer and subarachnoid haemorrhage,
a type of stroke. 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.
