"We are extremely pleased to be moving positively forward with the Lupuzor(TM) program. Avion and ourselves believe that the new design of the Phase 2/3 adaptive study offers the greatest probability of a successful result for the overall benefit of Lupus patients. We remain on track to commence the trial in H2 2023," Chief Executive Tim McCarthy said.
