Photocure Announces U.S. FDA Approval of New Indications for Blue Light Cystoscopy with Cysview®
Oslo, Norway, February 16, 2018 Photocure ASA (OSE: PHO), announced today that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved its supplemental new drug application (sNDA) to extend the indication for Blue Light Cystoscopy (BLC™) with Cysview® to include Flexible Cystoscopes, which are used in the ongoing surveillance of patients with bladder cancer. This is the only combination of drug and device approved for the detection of bladder cancer.
The approval of this new indication is based on the results from a large Phase 3 study using KARL STORZ blue light enabled rigid and flexible cystoscopes. This study showed that BLC™ significantly (p<0.0001) improves detection of patients with recurrent bladder cancer.

“This approval is an important milestone for Photocure. With 1.2 million surveillance cystoscopies performed annually in the U.S., this represents a significant opportunity for the company and allows us to bring solutions to current clinical challenges,” said Kjetil Hestdal M.D. Ph.D., President & CEO. “The expanded label now allows repetitive use in the same patient which enables physicians to provide an improved continuum of care to their bladder cancer patients and should lead to reduced cost.”

Oslo, Norway, March 20, 2018: Photocure ASA (OSE: PHO), is pleased to announce
that Blue Light Cystoscopy (BLC(TM)) with Hexvix® was featured during the EAU
annual meeting held in Copenhagen, Denmark, March 16th - 20th. The EAU is one of
the largest international meetings in urology, attended by more than 12,000
urologists and exhibitors from over 110 countries.

Blue Light Cystoscopy (BLC(TM)) with Hexvix® was featured through abstract
presentations, a symposium hosted by Ipsen, our strategic partner in Europe
except the Nordic, and exhibited both at the Ipsen and Photocure booths.

Ditte Drejer, Aarhus University Hospital, Denmark, presented base line results
from the Da-Bla-Ca 11 trial: Photodynamic diagnosis in flexible cystoscopy -
initial findings in a randomized controlled trial (abstract 1140). 605 patients
were enrolled from three urological departments in Denmark. The initial results
indicate that Blue Light flexible cystoscopy with Hexvix can reduce the need of
TURBT when biopsy and fulguration of small tumors is possible in the
outpatient/office clinic. Further follow-up data on recurrences is ongoing and
will be needed to estimate the clinical impact on reduction of recurrence risk
and repeated procedures.

Dr. Siamak Daneshmand, University of Southern California Institute of Urology
presented data from a registry study with 533 patients, 1632 identified lesions
from 641 BLC(TM) procedures across 9 different centers: Blue light cystoscopy
for diagnosis of urothelial bladder cancer: Results from a multicenter registry
(abstract 1139). BLC with Cysview increases detection rates of all tumor types
compared to standard white light, especially CIS lesions (43%), and changed the
management in about 14% of patients. Furthermore, recent BCG therapy did not
appear to impact the BLC accuracy.

Professor Morgan Roupret, Academic Department of Urology of Pitié-Salpétrière,
Paris, France presented "Predicting the future of PDD - blue skies or dark
clouds" at the Ipsen hosted symposium Saturday March 17. This presentation
challenged the continuing role of photodynamic-diagnosis amidst the emerging
trends in NMIBC management. It concluded that combined with biomarker testing
and targeted biopsies, PDD will remain key to optimal treatment and patient
follow-up.

Kjetil Hestdal, President and CEO comments: "It was a great pleasure to be
present at the EAU congress in one of the European countries where we market
Hexvix ourselves, and see the engagement and activities at our booth in addition
to the new data on BLC with Hexvix/Cysview being presented. With the recent FDA
approval of Cysview with flexible scopes it is especially encouraging with the
initial data from the Danish investigator initiated trial indicating how BLC
with flexible scopes might change the patient pathway and reduce the burden on
health care costs and make life better for the patients".

About Hexvix®/Cysview®
Hexvix®/Cysview® is a drug that is selectively taken up by cancer cells in the
bladder making them glow bright pink during Blue Light Cystoscopy (BLC(TM)).

03/04-2018 08:00:02: (PHO) Blue Light Flexible Cystoscopy followed by tumor treatment with Laser results in less patient burden, improved satisfaction and cost reduction.
Oslo, Norway, April 3rd, 2018, Photocure ASA (OSE: PHO), is pleased to announce
that a new study on Blue Light Cystoscopy (BLCTM) with Hexvix® using the KARL
STORZ flexible videoscope system in the outpatient setting for the laser
treatment of Low-Grade bladder tumors was published in Scandinavian Journal of
Urology, link to publication: https://bit.ly/2IlpylQ. This study, by Drs
Hermann, Mogensen and Susanne Rosthoj, MSc, established that the method of
removing lesions with the laser diode in an outpatient setting provides a well
tolerated treatment of low-grade non-invasive tumor recurrences, and allows for
the patients to leave immediately after treatment.

The study involved 21 patients who had histology verified, low-grade bladder
tumors smaller than 1.5 cm in the bladder identified during outpatient
surveillance flexible cystoscopy. Patients underwent the BLC with Hexvix
assisted laser procedure and had a 1-month follow-up cystoscopy and biopsy
guided by Blue Light Cystoscopy (BLCTM) and the KARL STORZ flexible videoscope.
Follow up of patients was for 12-16 months. The measurement of pain was with a
validated visual analog method from the European Organization for the Research
and treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire for the Non-Muscle
Invasive Bladder Cancer.

"Use of BLCTM with Hexvix® to identify the tumors when they are small makes it
possible to treat more patients in the office setting. The laser treatment of
lesions caused limited pain and patients were able to return to their daily
activities immediately after the procedure. We found that this method is
effective for the treatment of Ta low-grade tumors. Treating more patients on an
outpatient basis results in considerable quality of life benefits to the
patients and economic benefits to the health care system. Following the results
of this methods validation study we are now evaluating the method in a
randomized controlled trial," said Dr Gregers G. Hermann, Consultant Urologist,
DM Sc. F.E.B.U. Herlev and Gentofte Hospital, University of Copenhagen and main
investigator of the study.

"In this proof of principle study of BLCTM with Hexvix® to detect and control,
and the laser technique to remove Ta low-grade lesions in the outpatient
setting, it was estimated that 25% of the TURBT procedures could be performed in
the outpatient (office) basis without general anesthesia. This resulted in an
estimated direct cost savings of EUR140,976 per million inhabitants. Using Blue
Light Flexible cystoscopy during this procedure makes the urologists confident
that all tumors are detected and removed and patients can avoid an operating
room surgery while receiving effective treatment for this recurrent and
progressive disease. It is exciting to see the emerging developments in bladder
cancer and the new role that Hexvix can play to offer patients improved
management of their disease," said Kjetil Hestdal, M.D., Ph.D., President and
CEO, Photocure ASA.

About Bladder Cancer
There are 167 000 new cases of bladder cancer in Europe and more than 59 000
deaths from the disease annually. Approx. 75% of all bladder cancer cases occur
in men1. It has a high recurrence rate with an average of 61% in year one and
78% over five years, making the lifetime costs of managing bladder cancer one of
the highest amongst all. Bladder cancer is a costly, potentially progressive
disease for which patients have to undergo multiple cystoscopies due to the high
risk of recurrence3,4. A recent paper on the economic burden of bladder cancer
across the European Union estimates that bladder cancer cost the EU 4.9 Billion
Euro in 20122. Bladder cancer is a costly, potentially progressive disease for
which patients have to undergo multiple cystoscopies due to the high risk of
recurrence. There is an urgent need to improve both the diagnosis and the
management of bladder cancer for the benefit of patients and healthcare systems
alike.

Bladder cancer is classified into two types, non-muscle invasive bladder cancer
(NMIBC) and muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC), depending on the depth of
invasion in the bladder wall. NMIBC remains in the inner layer of cells lining
the bladder. These cancers are the most common (75%) of all BC cases and include
the subtypes Ta, carcinoma in situ (CIS) and T1 lesions. MIBC is when the cancer
has grown into deeper layers of the bladder wall. These cancers, including
subtypes T2, T3 and T4, are more likely to spread and are harder to treat.5

enables the urologist to better detect and remove lesions, leading to a reduced
risk of recurrence.

31/05-2018 13:29:11: (PHO) Photocure: Positive results from BLC with Cysview® registry published in the Urologic Oncology Journa
Oslo, Norway, May 31, 2018: Photocure ASA (PHO:OSE) announced today that results
from the Blue Light Cystoscopy (BLC(TM)) with Cysview® Registry Study was
published on-line, in the prestigious official journal of the Society of
Urological Oncology. Data from the publication showed that BLC significantly
increases detection rates of flat, aggressive Carcinoma in Situ lesions (CIS)
and papillary lesions compared to WLC alone and can result in upstaging or
upgrading in about 14% of patients and that repeat use is safe.

The publication is on results from a Prospective Multicenter Registry Study that
is the largest Bladder Cancer Registry Study ever done in the US. This study is
ongoing, and results were also presented at the annual AUA meeting held in San
Francisco. Link to abstract: http://bit.ly/AUA2018BLCRegistry

"It has been very exciting to see the on-going increase in real world data as a
result of this registry study. This publication based on data collected from
2014 to 2016, 9 referral sites, 1632 samples and 533 patients, show that the
combination of White Light and Blue Light with Cysview increased the detection
on papillary disease by 12%, CIS lesions by 43% and most importantly, resulted
in change of management in 14% of patients. This means that patients are staged
more accurately, which is very likely to impact their outcomes," says Dr. Siamak
Daneshmand, Associate Professor of Urology (Clinical Scholar), Director of
Urologic Oncology, at the University of Southern California Institute of Urology
and study investigator. Link to the publication:
http://bit.ly/BLC-Registry-Publication

The group has now expanded and has data from 1084 patients. "We look forward to
continuing to learn from the results from this study and how the recent
commercial launch of Cysview for use with flexible cystoscopes will further
change the management of bladder cancer patients," says Kjetil Hestdal, MD, PhD,
President and CEO, Photocure ASA., "I also want to thank the many investigators,
their staff and patients for their participation in the study. The Registry
Group has worked hard to bring this Real World Study forward and has brought a
high level of scientific rigor which has resulted in many publications from this
study."

About Bladder Cancer
Bladder cancer is the fifth most commonly diagnosed cancer in the US and is the
fourth most common cancer found in men in the US 1, 2, 3. It is estimated that
in 2018 there will be 81,190 new cases of bladder cancer will occur along with
17,240 deaths due to bladder cancer. Bladder cancer is one of the most expensive
cancers to manage, accounting for approximately $3.7 billion in direct costs
each year.4

Bladder cancer is classified into two types, non-muscle invasive bladder cancer
(NMIBC) and muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC), depending on the depth of
invasion in the bladder wall.2 NMIBC is still in the inner layer of cells. These
cancers are the most common (75%) of all BC cases and include the subtypes Ta,
carcinoma in situ (CIS) and T1 lesions. MIBC is when the cancer has grown into
deeper layers of the bladder wall. These cancers, including subtypes T2, T3 and
T4, are more likely to spread and are harder to treat.2

About Hexvix®/Cysview®
Hexvix® is a drug that is taken-up selectively by cancer cells in the bladder
making them glow bright pink during Blue Light Cystoscopy (BLC(TM)). BLC(TM)
with Hexvix® improves the detection of tumors and leads to more complete
resection, less residual tumors and better management decisions.

Cysview® is the tradename in the US and Canada, Hexvix® is the tradename in all
other markets. Photocure is commercializing Hexvix®/Cysview® directly in the US
and the Nordic region, and has strategic partnerships for the commercialization
of Hexvix®/Cysview® in Europe, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Please refer

27/08-2018 07:54:12: (PHO) Photocure ASA: Exclusive Nordic distribution agreement for innovative drug delivery system for bladder cancer patients

Oslo, Norway, August 27, 2018: Photocure ASA, The Bladder Cancer Company, announces today that an exclusive distribution agreement for the Nordic area for an innovative and patented medical device has been signed with Combat Medical (www.combat-medical.com). The device is designed for the delivery of Hyperthermic Intra-Vesical Chemotherapy (HIVEC®) for non-muscle invasive bladder cancer and has a strong strategic and synergistic fit with current business.

"The distribution agreement with Combat Medical is a milestone for Photocure as it represents the first step in expanding our portfolio and our footprint in the bladder cancer field. We are proud to be a recognized player in the field and chosen as a partner for an innovative drug delivery device. It is also a significant step towards our vision: Driving Change in Bladder Cancer Management. The delivery system represents an excellent strategic fit to our expertise and current Blue Light Cystoscopy with Hexvix® business. More than 7000 patients are diagnosed with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer in the Nordic area every year, and approximately 50% of them will undergo repeat instillation therapy," says Erik Dahl, CFO and Interim CEO of Photocure.

Hyperthermia has been shown to significantly increase the effectiveness of chemotherapy1,2,3. HIVEC® using the Combat BRS has the potential to become an attractive alternative to other instillation treatments for medium- and high-risk patients4. Clinical hyperthermia is defined as the therapeutic use of temperature between 41°C to 44°C2. At 43°C the cytotoxicity increases by 10 times, without any increase in the toxicity to the patient3. The highly automated medical device system is conveniently integrated in the out-patient clinic.

"We are delighted to have Photocure as our partner in the Nordic area. In addition to their bladder cancer expertise they also have a proven track record in introducing new technologies, requiring both disease and clinical expertise, as well as competence in maneuvering the complex hospital organizations and facilitating training of the urologists and nurses in the use of new devices. We very much look forward to collaborating with Photocure and sharing our expertise and experiences from the countries where our delivery system is already in routine use," says Edward Bruce-White, CEO of Combat Medical.

The patented hyperthermic delivery solution consists of a recirculation unit ensuring effective temperature control and specifically designed disposable catheter. An extensive clinical program to further document safety and effectiveness is underway. Photocure is Combat Medical's exclusive commercialization partner for the Nordic area and will use the existing specialist team, target exactly the same health care providers, hospitals and patients as with Hexvix.

"We are proud to be the first hospital in the Nordic area who got the chance to use this promising technology to treat our patients. We are currently generating and collecting data and assessing the convenience of introducing the technology into our facility. The procedure is highly automated and can easily be performed by trained nurses. We look forward to collaborating with Photocure on this new technology which could potentially become a new tool for better management of bladder cancer patients, just like Hexvix has proven to be over the last 10 years", says Professor Jørgen Bjerggaard Jensen, Aarhus University Hospital, Denmark.

Photocure will leverage on the extensive Hexvix infrastructure in the Nordics for implementation of the Combat Medical distribution agreement and expects commercial sales to commence from the first quarter of 2019.

About the Combat BRS and HIVEC® treatment

The Combat BRS delivers HIVEC® to optimize the chemotherapy installation for non-muscle invasive bladder cancer patients. Maximizing the efficacy of the treatment by harnessing the proven combined effects of chemotherapy and hyperthermia 1,2,3

The patented, technically innovative device has been in clinical use since 2011. Safety, tolerability and efficacy data from over 500 patients have already been presented as part of the ongoing extensive clinical programme.4,5,6

The System is easy to integrate into clinical practice, it requires minimal additional resources for the healthcare provider whilst maximising outcomes for patients with this type of bladder cancer.

About Bladder Cancer in the Nordic area

There are more than 7 000 new cases of bladder cancer in the Nordic and more than 2 000 deaths from the disease annually. Approx. 75% of all bladder cancer cases occur in men1. It has a high recurrence rate with an average of 61% in year one and 78% over five years2. Bladder cancer has the highest lifetime treatment costs per patient of all cancers3.

Bladder cancer is a costly, potentially progressive disease for which patients have to undergo multiple cystoscopies due to the high risk of recurrence. There is an urgent need to improve both the diagnosis and the management of bladder cancer for the benefit of patients and healthcare systems alike.

Bladder cancer is classified into two types, non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) and muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC), depending on the depth of invasion in the bladder wall. NMIBC remains in the inner layer of cells lining the bladder. These cancers are the most common (75%) of all BC cases and include the subtypes Ta, carcinoma in situ (CIS) and T1 lesions. MIBC is when the cancer has grown into deeper layers of the bladder wall. These cancers, including subtypes T2, T3 and T4, are more likely to spread and are harder to treat.4

Dobling i Photocure: - Oppgangen har såvidt begynt
Alexander Hansson avfeier spekulasjoner om aksjesalg: - Å selge seg ut er helt utelukket, sier han

Legemiddelselskapet Photocure ble en av torsdagens store vinnere på Oslo Børs med en oppgang på 11,81 prosent til 52,80 kroner.

Oppturen fortsetter fredag, og dermed har Photocure-aksjen mer enn doblet seg siden årsskiftet, til stor glede for investorene.

Spesielt for største aksjonær Alexander Hansson, som eier rundt 10,3 prosent gjennom selskapet High Seas AS, betyr det en solid gevinst.

Bare siden nyttår har familieselskapets 2,22 millioner aksjer steget med rundt 62 millioner kroner i verdi.

Avfeier spekulasjoner
Den seneste tids kraftige kursoppgang har imidlertid også ført til at flere tror at Hansson-familien vil ta gevinst, ifølge Hansson.

- Det har vært mye spekulasjoner om at vi skal selge oss ut, sier han til Hegnar.no.

Hansson har tidligere avfeid tilsvarende rykter med begrunnelsen om at han har stor tro på selskapet.

Det gjør han også denne gang.

- Å selge seg ut er helt utelukket. Oppgangen har så vidt begynt.

OK
Takk for en grundig, oversiktelig og overbevisende opplisting av viktige hendelser. Her finnes ikke et eneste negativt utviklingstrinn, men derimot en solid manifestasjon over hvilke milepæler som er oppnådd og hvordan selskapet har utviklet seg i positiv retning gjennom 11 måneder. Det har forsåvidt også aksjekursen reflektert. Men utviklingen har stanset opp den siste tiden. Det hevdes å være flere årsaker til dette; generelt dårlig børsklima internasjonalt, lite fokus på farmasiaksjer, penger flyttet fra PHomog over i andre farmasiaksjer og mangel på oppdateringer fra selskapet.

Men dersom man tar seg tid og leser gjennom listen OK har tatt seg tid å utarbeide, så burde det ikke være vanskelig å finne den røde tråden. Og den er svært positiv, for å si det mildt, og er hovedårsaken til at mange av oss gleder oss til hva som kommer på presentasjonen av Q3.

For sammenholder man utviklingen av det fundamentale i PHO med kursutviklingen, så synes det absolutt som det har kladdet litt de siste ukene. Selskapet har et enormt potensial, bare i det amerikanske markedet, men prises kun til 1,1 milliarder. Det til tross for at risikoen i PHO er betydelig mindre enn hva man finner i mange andre farmasiselskaper. Så ingen grad ledelsen i leverer varene i morgen, så tror jeg det kan ligge an til en meget hyggelig reprising av PHO.

Vi skal heller ikke glemme at i dette bilder ligger det en short på 200k aksjer. Positiv presentasjon i morgen, som utløser reprising, vil resultere inatvselgerne forsvinner som dugg for solen, og da kan denne shorten både koste den ansvarlige dyrt og bidra til et voldsomt kursbyks.

Skulle nesten tro det var lillejulaften i dag. ;-))

Vi skal heller ikke glemme det særskilte faktum at de 4 øverste toppene i selskapet samlet skal presentere selskapet på presentasjonen i morgen tidlig, og 2 av dem kommer over fra USA.
Ikke for å hausse, men dette har jeg aldri sett i noe annet børsnotert selskap ved en kvartals-presentasjon tidligere.

Det er bare 4 og en halv time til å handle aksjer før fasit foreligger.

Lykke til

Fåglane må vite hvor vi åpner ballet i morgen. Mulig at Moen ønsker å skremme ut noen småaksjonærer på åpningen og at vi slik sett åpner i rødt. Men her tror jeg det blir viktig å holde fokus på de fundamentale tallene, og da tenker jeg ikke på bunnlinjen i denne fasen, mennbrukerfrekvensen og antall scope. Dersom de to tallene viser akselererende vekst så bør man holde fingrene langt borte fra slagsknappen. Da har ledelsen bekreftet at selskapet gjør gjennombrudd i USA og med det markedet vil the sky be the limit!

Lykke til!

Det blir nok en digg dag i morgen med selskapets 4 topper på podiet, derav 2 sendt fra USA.
At Bellete blir med denne gangen også, garanterer nesten for begeistring i etterkant av presentasjonen.

Så mye hausing og diverse annet fjas tyder på att mange er fullastet til ripa med aksjer her nå. Å kursen har stanget rundt 50 lappen de siste uker vil bety en veldig kortvarig oppgang ved gode og ok nyheter imorgen.

Husk å selg før kl 10.

Ved litt dårlige og dårlige nyheter imorgen så ser vi 40 i løpet av neste uke.

Klovnen,

PHO har vært en lang ørkenvandrer. Det har vært peaks på 50 og vaking rundt 40 for to år siden. I morgen kan gå begge veier, men fra det jeg har lest meg opp på så mener jeg det ligger mer til rette for positiv-oppsving i morgen enn kursras.

Tror dagen i dag bare er en liten forsmak på hva vi har i vente for morgendagen.

Photocure er en " no-brainer" ser man ikke det caset så sliter man på børs.

Kalleklovn.
En som formulerer seg så blærete og er så dårlig i rettskrivning tror jeg ikke at jeg tar særlig alvorlig.

Dersom ledelsen leverer overraskende gode nyheter i morgen/uttaler seg optimistisk og fremoverlent, ja da vil jeg ikke utelukke at vi kan få en heidundrende fredag med kurser tett opp mot 70 tallet. Jeg sier ikke AT vi får det, men blir IKKE overrasket om så skjer.

Kalleklovn,
Ser ut som du er eksponert i pcib. Unødvendig å la din frustrasjon og bitterhet gå utover pho trådene.
Vi klarer oss utmerket godt uten innblanding fra deg.
Mange typer mennesker her på forumet gitt.

Jeg delte bare mine tanker, hadde selv en post med aksjer her. kan bli veldig bra på sikt dette her.

Mente att det å kjøpe god opp på 50 tallet fort kunne bli dyrt.

Men langsiktig så ser det lovende ut.
