Biofrontera's business operations on track
Leverkusen, 11 November 2015 - Biofrontera AG (FSE/AIM:B8F), the biopharmaceutical company focusing on sun-induced skin cancer announces that in light of the well above average volatility of the Company's share price and increased trading volumes in recent days, that there have been no new operational developments or matters which have arisen in relation to the ongoing approval processes or other operational aspects of the Company.
Business development activities remain in accordance with previous announcements in our regular financial reports, ad hoc releases and the recently published securities prospectus.
This also applies to the US approval application for the skin-cancer drug Ameluz® in the treatment of actinic keratosis. In line with the Company's timetable, Biofrontera yesterday submitted the "120-day safety update" which also includes clinical and cosmetic follow-up results of our Phase III trial for field treatment. The clinical part of the Phase III study for the European approval process for the treatment of basal cell carcinomas is expected to be complete this month, with preliminary results currently expected to be available as planned before the end of the year.
