This grant will help finance studies on the CER-001 drug candidate. Payment will be made in two instalments, once development has begun and ABIONYX Pharma has made the corresponding investment in its 100% ophthalmology subsidiary, Apogeye Pharma. The grant will be repayable at 0% on condition of success, from the last quarter of 2026 to the first quarter of 2031.

The ophthalmic preclinical studies carried out to date have been promising, demonstrating a suitable pharmacokinetic profile and convincing pharmacological results. The data support the launch of a program in a severe ophthalmology indication with a new innovative mechanism of action. ABIONYX Pharma would like to thank Bpifrance for its long-standing support and confidence in the Company's development of the world's only recombinant apoA-I.
