Under första kvartalet 2025 har Spermosens AB haft flera viktiga händelser. De höll en extra bolagsstämma och genomförde en riktad emission som resulterade i ett strategiskt kapitaltillskott på 10,8 miljoner SEK, vilket ska täcka deras kapitalbehov tills de blir kassaflödespositiva. De har också meddelat förändringar i aktieinnehav och utfallet av TO3-teckningsoptioner. Spermosens har publicerat en vetenskaplig artikel om sin JUNO-Checked-teknologi och inlett ett strategiskt samarbete med Scalania AG för att påskynda utvecklingen. Dr. Jaime Castillo-León har utsetts till ny teknikchef. Efter kvartalets slut rapporterade de positiva interimsresultat från en klinisk studie som visar en korrelation mellan JUNO-bindning och fertilitetsutfall. VD Tore Duvold uttryckte att dessa resultat är ett viktigt steg mot att validera deras teknologi och att de nu har ekonomisk stabilitet för att fortsätta studien och optimera teknologin. Företaget fokuserar på att etablera partnerskap och licensavtal inom assisterad reproduktionsteknik (ART) i Europa, USA och Japan för att minska kommersiella risker och kapitalbehov. De planerar att slutföra sin kliniska studie och förbättra JUNO-Checked-teknologin för kommersiellt bruk, med sikte på att ingå partnerskap under andra halvan av 2026.

The clinical study at the Reproductive Medicine Center in Malmö is progressing well, with 68 couples recruited and JUNO binding analysis completed in 51 cases. The company is on track to meet its clinical goals and expects to finish the study by the end of 2025. Interim results show a correlation between JUNO binding and fertilization outcomes, supporting the potential of JUNO-Checked as a diagnostic tool in reproductive treatments. Spermosens is in discussions with potential commercial partners in Europe, the US, and Japan. They have strengthened their US and European business development efforts and are working towards a license agreement in Japan. The company recently secured strategic investments from European and US investors to support its strategy. CEO Tore Duvold is optimistic about achieving clinical goals and securing partnerships. Spermosens will continue to provide updates on the study and commercial discussions. Spermosens AB is a Swedish biotechnology company focused on fertility treatments, with its shares traded on the Spotlight Stock Market.

The study has recruited 52 couples to date, with JUNO binding analysis completed in 37 cases. Interim results indicate that higher JUNO binding, which reflects sperm's ability to bind to the egg, is positively correlated with successful fertilization and pregnancy. Low or absent JUNO binding is associated with failed fertilization, highlighting the JUNO-Checked technology's potential as a diagnostic tool in assisted reproductive treatments. These findings suggest that JUNO-Checked can help identify sperm-related factors in unexplained infertility, especially in cases where standard semen parameters are normal, but fertilization fails. Tore Duvold, CEO of Spermosens, and Dr. Ingela Liljeqvist Soltic, study investigator, both emphasize the technology's potential in improving fertility diagnostics and treatment outcomes. The study aims to complete by 2025, providing solid clinical evidence for JUNO-Checked's diagnostic value.
