Shares of ANEW Medical doubled, to $3.80, after the company said it has been granted and issued a patent in Europe for the use of its Klotho gene-sequence and gene-delivery systems.
The biopharmaceutical company said the patent would be used in the treatment of diminished cognition, memory loss, dementia and other neurodegenerative diseases.
ANEW said it licensed this intellectual property on an exclusive worldwide basis from Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona and Institucio Catalana de Recerca i Estudis Avancats in Barcelona.
In March, the company received patent approval in China, and is now approved in Hong Kong as well.
ANEW plans to begin product development and expand their intellectual-property portfolios into the Asian markets beginning in 2024.
