Vidac Pharma to present company at Sachs European Healthtech CEO Forum with latest developments of revolutionary approach to treat cancer

London (UK), February 12, 2024 – Vidac Pharma Holdings Plc. (Hamburg and Stuttgart: T9G; ISIN:GB00BM9XQ619; WKN: A3DTUQ), a clinical-stage oncology biopharmaceutical company  pioneering a groundbreaking new way of treating cancer, today announces its Chief Executive Officer Max Herzberg will present new insights in the development of Vidac’s two drug candidates - VDA-1102 against actinic keratosis (AK) and cutaneous T-cell lymphoma  (CTCL) and VDA-1275 against solid tumors - at the 5^th Annual European Healthtech CEO Forum in Zurich.

“Vidac Pharma’s non-toxic drug candidates are attacking cancer at its core, reversing the abnormal metabolism that is common to all cancer cells. This halts cancer cell proliferation, restores immune-sensitivity, and switches programmed cell death back on. Clinical results so far are very encouraging, and I am looking forward to engage in discussions about the advancement of our pioneering drug candidates at the Sachs Forum, an excellent platform to meet industry peers and investors,” Vidac Pharma Chief Executive Officer Max Herzberg said.

Vidac Pharma’s family of small molecules prevents the Hexokinase 2 (HK2) enzyme from blocking the VDAC mitochondrial relay channels, reinstalling apoptosis (programmed cell death), and starving cancer cells of the special fuel they derive from their glycolytic metabolism. Last month, the company reported interim Phase 2a results for VDA-1102 in CTCL that compared favorably to the standard of care. Vidac is about to launch a Phase 2b study for VDA-1102 for AK, the other indication for this drug candidate, selecting patients with an advanced stage of the disease, in which VDA-1102 has shown to be more effective. Its other candidate VDA-1275 is in the preclinical stage for a wide range of solid tumors.
