“Progress continued during the third quarter with the launch of a new Phase 3 study, granting of orphan drug designation for CAM2029 in the US, double-digit sales growth and improved results. COVID-19 has continued to put pressure on us, however, we see potential for accelerated growth as access to health care providers and patients improves and new markets are added.
