Verseon to present additional preclinical results atBioEurope Spring 2016 conference

Fremont, California - Verseon Corporation (AIM: VSN) announces today that the company will present new preclinical results based on a stasis-induced venous thrombosis model for several promising oral anticoagulant drug candidates on April 5th at the BioEurope Spring 2016 Conference in Stockholm, Sweden. The data conclusively demonstrates the effectiveness of Verseon's novel, highly selective direct thrombin inhibitors (DTIs) as a potential treatment for venous thrombotic disorders while maintaining a lower bleeding risk than current drugs.

The latest preclinical model adds to the list of successful studies performed by the Company and broadens the therapeutic potential of Verseon's DTIs to a wide range of thrombotic disorders, including stroke prevention for atrial fibrillation patients, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, and acute coronary syndrome.

About Verseon's Anticoagulant Program

Verseon's new class of anticoagulants are part of a growing portfolio of drug programs being developed with the aid of the Company's proprietary, computational drug discovery platform. The novel small-molecule DTIs act through reversible covalent inhibition, a unique mode of action that leads to novel pharmacology, including lower bleeding liability as seen in multiple laboratory tests. In addition to efficacy and lower bleeding risk, Verseon's new class of anticoagulants also has pharmacokinetic properties suitable for oral dosing.
