Double Bond Pharmaceutical International AB: The preclinical development program of SI-053 is complete

The results of the two remaining preclinical studies are now available. The toxicological studies on SI
053 and its formulation showed expected results. The study on the excipient was a long-term study
to confirm the safety of the hydrogel in the brain. Neither neurological side effects nor any effects on
blood cells were noted.

There were no serious adverse events in the GLP-toxicity study of SI-053. The effects noted were due
to the active pharmaceutical ingredient temozolomide, such as an effect on blood cells which was
expected. Thus, the overall results of the GLP-tox study were expected, and a safe dose was
established that will form the basis for the selection of a start dose in the upcoming Phase I Clinical
trial. With these studies, Double Bond Pharmaceutical has completed the preclinical development of
SI-053.

"The information we received is important for the understanding of the safety of SI-053,"
commented Igor Lokot, CEO of Double Bond. "I am pleased that the results we have received are in
line with our expectations and that the preclinical development of SI-053 is completed according to
time lines”.
