"I am delighted to welcome Patrik Renblad as Cantargia's new CFO. Patrik brings a wealth of experience gained from an international career with leading positions in both pharma and biotech, which will be important to Cantargia in the next stage of the company's development," said Göran Forsberg, CEO of Cantargia.

He previously spent 10 years at LEO Pharma, holding senior roles including Finance Director of R&D Finance, and Director of Finance & Patient Access in China, and also worked for AstraZeneca. Currently, he is the CFO of the Swedish biotech company SynAct Pharma, where he was instrumental in the company's listing on Nasdaq Stockholm in 2022. Mr Renblad holds a Master of Science in Business Administration and Economics from Lund University, Sweden.

About Cantargia

Cantargia AB (publ), reg. no. 556791-6019, is a biotechnology company that develops antibody-based treatments for life-threatening diseases and has established a platform based on the protein IL1RAP, involved in a number of cancer forms and inflammatory diseases. The main project, the antibody nadunolimab (CAN04), is being studied clinically in combination with chemotherapy or immune therapy with a primary focus on non-small cell lung cancer and pancreatic cancer. Positive interim data from the combination with chemotherapy indicate stronger efficacy than would be expected from chemotherapy alone. Cantargia's second development program, the antibody CAN10, blocks signaling via IL1RAP in a different manner than nadunolimab and addresses treatment of serious autoimmune/inflammatory diseases, with initial focus on systemic sclerosis and myocarditis.

Cantargia is listed on Nasdaq Stockholm (ticker: CANTA). More information about Cantargia is available at www.cantargia.com.
