27th Jun 2024 12:04

Synairgen PLC - South Hampton, England-based drug discovery and development company focused on combatting respiratory disease - In 2023, pretax loss narrowed to GBP9.7 million from GBP20.1 million a year prior.

Cash and cash equivalents held at GBP10.5 million, down 34% from GBP15,9 million.

We have determined that it is inappropriate at this stage for the company to conduct clinical trials in the non-hospitalised setting".
