Zug, Switzerland, August 15, 2018 - Auris Medical Holding AG (NASDAQ: EARS), a clinical-stage company dedicated to developing therapeutics that address important unmet medical needs in neurotology, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2018 and provided a business update.
"In the past weeks and months we took important steps to reposition our Company", stated Thomas Meyer, Auris Medical's founder, Chairman and CEO. "We have refocused our strategy on developing intranasal betahistine for vertigo and mental health supportive care, two areas of great unmet medical need, where betahistine is already well known or has shown promising results, respectively. Based on the superior bioavailability obtained with intranasal delivery compared to the currently used oral formulation, we see a great potential for our AM-125 and AM-201 development programs. As part of the strategic repositioning of the Company, we intend to move forward with our late-stage programs in acute inner ear hearing loss and tinnitus through strategic partnering and/or with non-dilutive funding. Accordingly, we have been able to reduce the Company's level of operating expenses significantly, which, together with the recent equity raise, has strengthened our financial position."
Development Program Updates
AM-125 for Vertigo
AM-201 for Olanzapine-Induced Weight Gain
AM-111 for Acute Inner Ear Hearing Loss
