CEO's Summary

John Lambert

We are very excited to receive ethics approval for Amplia’s first clinical trial and to deliver on our commitment to advance AMP945 into human clinical trials during 2020. Despite the challenges thrown up by the current COVID-19 pandemic, in the past few months we have managed to secure two Orphan Drug Designations, complete the preclinical studies required to support the Phase 1 trial, secure funding to conduct the trial, and now receive the approval required to initiate the trial. We are extremely grateful for the support we have received from our partners, providers and shareholders that has allowed us get to this stage and initiate the first-in-human study for AMP945.”
