VBL Therapeutics Announces First Quarter 2020 Financial Results and Provides Corporate Update

TEL AVIV, Israel, May 14, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — VBL Therapeutics (Nasdaq: VBLT) today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2020, and provided a corporate update.
“We reached an important milestone in our development of VB-111 in ovarian cancer with the recent positive outcome of the interim analysis of the ongoing Phase 3 OVAL study, which demonstrated the potential benefit of VB-111 over standard-of-care in a randomized-controlled study,” said Dror Harats, M.D., Chief Executive Officer of VBL Therapeutics. “A second planned interim analysis which will assess overall survival in the two treatment arms, is expected in the third quarter this year. We are pleased to be making progress also in our MOSPD2 antibody programs. We recently presented promising new data in NASH and colitis models in a Poster of Distinction at Digestive Disease Week, and also published a peer review manuscript on the potential of MOSPD2 antibodies to treat multiple sclerosis (MS). New data on our MOSPD2 bi-specific antibodies will be presented in a late breaking session at the upcoming American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) annual meeting in June. Based on these positive developments, we successfully raised additional $18.1 million in gross proceeds, in spite of the COVID-19 pandemic complexities. Our current cash position is expected to fund our operations into the third quarter of 2022.”First Quarter and Key Corporate Highlights:VB-111:MOSPD2:VB-201:Quarter Ended March 31, 2020 Financial Results:

These forward-looking statements may include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our programs, including VB-111, VB-600, including their clinical development, therapeutic potential, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, operations, clinical trials, supply chain, strategy, goals and anticipated timelines and clinical results. These forward-looking statements are not promises or guarantees and involve substantial risks and uncertainties.
