Copenhagen, Denmark March 2, 2023 – Zealand Pharma A/S (Nasdaq: ZEAL) (CVR-no. 20045078) a biotechnology company focused on the discovery and development of innovative peptide-based medicines, today announced financial results for the 12-month period from January 1 to December 31, 2022 and provided a corporate update.
Organizational transformation and progress across the pipeline
Adam Steensberg, President and Chief Executive at Zealand Pharma said: “We are proud of the exceptional progress Zealand made last year. In 2022, we changed strategy to focus on our core peptide R&D expertise, secured partnerships for our marketed products, and achieved key milestones across our clinical pipeline.
“2023 looks to be a very exciting year for Zealand. We have three key strategic objectives focused on maximizing the value potential of our pipeline. Firstly, we are progressing our two rare disease assets towards regulatory submissions later in the year. Secondly, for the obesity portfolio we expect significant progress across all four assets. Specifically, Boehringer Ingelheim is planning to share the results of the Phase 2 obesity trial of BI 456906 in the coming months, while engaging in parallel with Health Authorities to discuss plans for Phase 3. Finally, we are actively engaging in partnership discussions aligned with our change in strategy.”
