“We are making steady progress in the ongoing pivotal Phase 3 SPARKLE study. However, the Covid-19 pandemic continues to substantially impact healthcare systems globally, including the conduct of clinical trials. Especially in the U.S., an important country in the SPARKLE study, the increasing infection rates are impacting clinical study activities. In this context, we expect that the recruitment timeline for the SPARKLE study could be extended up to 6 months into H1 2022. Our solid cash position supports operations well into 2023“, said Magnus Corfitzen, CEO at Ascelia Pharma.
