Fostrox - The first oral, liver-targeted treatment for advanced HCC
Jens Lindberg, CEO Aktiedagarna November 2025
Continued progress
Right's issue enables rapid generation of randomized, comparative data to confirm benefit of fostrox combination with Lenvima
Design of planned phase 2 study strengthened by latest data in advanced HCC
Remetinostat out-license generates significant potential value upside for phase 3 ready molecule
Placeholder agenda3
Slide
Medivir enters exclusive licensing agreement with Biossil, Inc. for remetinostat
Slide 4
Positive phase 2 data in basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL)
Global, exclusive, licensing agreement to develop and commercialize remetinostat
Total, potential milestone payments of approximately USD 60 million
Mid-single digit royalties on future net sales & sub-licensing revenue share.
Remetinostat is an effective topical treatment for reducing BCC disease burden in a clinically significant manner

2024 2030 2030 Upside
Growth driven by:
HCC to increase +122% in the US and +82% in China2 by 2030, caused by fatty liver disease
With improved 1L treatment, more patients will be fit enough for 2L, 50% → 70%
2030 Upside:
Average treatment duration increases to 10 months based on fostrox + Lenvima® study
Global 2L HCC market3
