We successfully took our first drug in oncology, the topoisomerase II inhibitor Savene®/Totect® from bench to market in 7 years. This was launched (Europe 2006/US 2007) and sold by our own specialised sales team. Our currently most advanced compound belinostat [Beleodaq(R)] is a histone deacetylase inhibitor and is being investigated in a clinical development program of more than 30 clinical trials in various cancer types, including trials in T-cell lymphoma which led to FDA marketing approval in 2014. Topotarget is headquartered in Denmark and after a successful IPO in 2005 is listed on the OMX Nordic Exchange in Copenhagen (OMX: TOPO).
