GOTHENBURG, Sweden, January 9, 2026 - Isofol Medical AB (publ) (Nasdaq Stockholm: ISOFOL) announces today that the company will participate in the ASCO GI (American Society of Clinical Oncology Gastrointestinal Cancer) Symposium in San Francisco, US, January 8–10. An abstract describing the study design for Isofol’s ongoing phase Ib/II clinical study with arfolitixorin has been accepted for presentation at the congress.
The information in the press release is intended for investors.
Isofol is developing arfolitixorin – a proprietary clinical-stage drug candidate designed to enhance the efficacy of established cancer treatments. Based on extensive clinical research, arfolitixorin is now being tested in a phase Ib/II clinical study with an optimized dose regimen, conducted at the German hospital Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin. The drug candidate has the potential to fill a known treatment gap in cancer care.
At the annual ASCO GI Cancer Symposium, an abstract describing the study design of Isofol’s ongoing clinical phase Ib/II study will be presented. The abstract is a so-called TiP (Trial in Progress) abstract, covering the study design and recruitment status. The study evaluates a new dosing regimen and escalating doses of arfolitixorin in combination with 5-FU chemotherapy, as well as oxaliplatin and bevacizumab as first-line treatment in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC).
The abstract is available on ASCO’s website >>
“We are thrilled that ASCO GI shows interest in our clinical development program with a drug candidate that has the potential to improve the efficacy of today’s and tomorrow’s standard of care treatment for cancer patients. It’s also a great start to the new year, where we aim to conclude the first part of the study and also initiate the following phase II part,” says Roger Tell, Chief Medical Officer at Isofol.
In connection with the participation at ASCO GI, Isofol will hold meetings with members of the company’s Advisory Board.
Colorectal cancer is the third most common form of cancer globally, and the second most common cause of cancer-related death, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). The need for new treatments in the field is, therefore, highly significant.
