/R E P E A T -- Sirona Biochem CEO Quarterly Update Q1 2021/

Sirona Biochem Corp . (TSXV: SBM) (FSE: ZSB) (OTC: SRBCF) (" Sirona ") is pleased to provide the following update to shareholders.

Sirona Biochem Corp. Logo (CNW Group/Sirona Biochem Corp.)

We continue to make substantial progress with core deliverables.

TFC-1067

Rodan + Fields (R+F) is completing the final stages in preparation to launch one of their newest skin care products incorporating TFC-1067. The dates are tightly guarded at this time and shareholders will be updated as soon as we are able to do so. We can report that everything is still progressing on schedule. As this will be our first project to reach commercial sales, we are looking forward to a successful launch.

Manufacturing of commercial quality TFC-1067 is ongoing in both China and France and shipments have been completed from both countries to the USA . As is the case with most new manufacturing, we continue to invest in optimizing the process. The development of an optimal production is an initial investment and a necessary condition to ensure we can sustainably serve a growing demand.

Our second clinical trial for TFC-1067, utilizing a higher dose, has been successfully completed and preliminary results have been received from Dermscan. We expect the final report within 4 weeks at which time we will review the results with our pharmaceutical partner ( see news Oct 2020 ). We anticipate being able to release a portion of the results that are independent of our partner after a period of due diligence.

Several multinational companies have approached Sirona with interest in TFC-1067. Once the first product is available for purchase and we can release the latest data, we anticipate that number to grow. The data package now contains many in vitro studies, clinical safety data, two clinical trials and manufacturing. Additionally, we have a partner who independently tested the product providing further support for its performance.

After completing our due diligence, we made the decision not to  pursue an agreement with HuaxiPharm. They have experienced internal challenges and delays and we do not feel their goals align with Sirona at this time. We have been working on developing a relationship with another company that can manage all aspects of commercialization of TFC-1067 in China . Our board and senior team are in regular discussion with this company on moving forward with an agreement. Extensive due diligence has already occurred.

TFC-039

TFC-039 for a type 2 diabetes pharmaceutical has completed another major phase in development and material information is pending.

TFC-039 for animal health continues to progress. We are in discussions with two international companies on this project and as such it has taken more time than expected to coordinate. Sirona and its consultants have structured and negotiated this unique partnership. We have closed binding terms on one side of this deal with the partner and we anticipate the other partner closing soon. Until such time that both partners have agreed to all terms, the details must remain confidential.

In addition, the team at TFChem are currently investigating further indications for TFC-039.

Anti-Aging

Our team has recently completed further studies for our anti-aging project to analyze our library of compounds and determine a lead. While we had previously done studies on some of these compounds, the lab was successful in developing further compounds for the library which we believe may have additional potential. These compounds must be patented and to do so, it is a requirement to  fulfill a set of in-vitro studies. The studies are now complete, and we can begin the next steps of preparing a lead for further investigative studies in safety prior to the clinical trial. The project was introduced to several companies at BIO JPM ( https://www.bio.org/events/bio-partnering-jpm ) and we are developing the information package to share with them. We also anticipate further discussions with our current partners about this project.

Antiviral

With recent developments in other projects as well as the lab's dedication to scale-up and managing the clinical trials of this project, the antiviral project remains less of a priority at the moment, but very much on the agenda for 2021 and 2022. We will update as progress is made.

Sirona continues to thrive in a world which has become increasingly virtual and has been conducting business daily on four continents. With a well-seasoned and experienced team, including multiple locally based consultants, travel has become unnecessary to maintain our progress. We will continue to support and grow our pipeline technology developed by our dedicated team of TFChem scientists based in Rouen, France .

We also continue to focus our efforts to create significant value for our shareholders. We realize that some investors had hoped for more progress. However, once again, we are moving forward and we are very confident that we will reach further significant milestones and continue to develop Sirona as a commercially successful company.

Dr. Howard Verrico, CEO

5 Small Biotech ETFs to Watch (Updated 2024)

Thanks to exchange-traded funds (ETFs), investors don’t have to be tied to one specific stock. Biotech ETFs allow market participants to gain leverage in multiple biotech companies via one investment vehicle.

The life science sector can certainly be risky, and ETFs are a good way to enter more safely than by investing in standalone stocks. A key advantage is that even if one company in the ETF takes a hit, the impact will be less direct.

Below the Investing News Network takes a look at five small biotech ETFs for investors to consider. They were selected using ETFdb.com, and their total assets under management (AUM) were under US$100 million as of March 8, 2024. All other figures were also current as of that date. Read on to learn more about these investment vehicles.

5 Biggest Biotechnology ETFs in 2024

Investing in the biotech industry can be a long road to gains given the sector’s volatility.

Even with a good understanding of the system, no one can predict which treatment, device or therapy will give the biggest return, making biotech exchange-traded funds (ETFs) a more secure option than individual biotech stocks.

An ETF is a relatively safe investment route that can minimize losses while offering exposure to multiple companies instead of focusing on the gains and losses of a single biotech stock. With that in mind, here’s a brief look at the five top biotechnology ETFs by total assets. Data was sourced from ETFdb.com on March 1, 2024, and all data was current as of that time.
