CORONADO BIOSCIENCES REPORTS FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE FOURTH QUARTER AND YEAR ENDED
Burlington, MA March 14, 2013 Coronado Biosciences, Inc. (NASDAQ: CNDO), a biopharmaceutical
company focused on the development of novel immunotherapy biologic agents for the treatment of autoimmune diseases and cancer, announced today its financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2012.
We made significant strides in 2012 towards increasing the value of our product candidates and expanded our pipeline of clinical trials, said
Dr. Harlan F. Weisman, Coronado s Chairman and CEO. It was an important year for Coronado in that we signed a collaboration agreement with Dr. Falk Pharma GmbH (Falk) and Ovamed GmbH (Ovamed) for the development of TSO
(Trichuris suis ova or CNDO-201) for Crohn s disease, initiated TRUST-I, our phase 2 clinical trial of TSO in Crohn s disease, and initiated two investigator-initiated studies evaluating TSO in ulcerative colitis and autism spectrum
disorders. Additionally, we commenced a phase 1/2 trial of CNDO-109 activated allogeneic natural killer (NK) cells, our second technology, in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). From a financial standpoint, in 2012, we conducted our first public offering
with net proceeds of $26.5 million and secured a $15.0 million loan facility with Hercules Technology Growth Capital to further support our clinical development efforts.
This is an exciting time for Coronado. We believe results from the two phase 2 trials in Crohn s disease, and possibly data from the autism study and the recently announced
investigator-initiated psoriasis study, have the potential to positively validate the hygiene hypothesis and our mission to provide life-changing therapies for autoimmune diseases during 2013. We are committed to continuing our momentum
throughout 2013, starting with the initiation of several more investigator-initiated studies for TSO in various autoimmune diseases in 2013.
