Lamellar Biomedical Raises £5.75 million in Series C Fund Raising Led by Invesco

Bellshill, Glasgow, UK 8 May 2017 - Lamellar Biomedical, a biotechnology company developing a range of patent-protected medical and pharmaceutical products, based on LAMELLASOME™ technology, has raised £5.75 million in a Series C equity funding round. The financing was led by Invesco Asset Management Limited acting as agent for and on behalf of its discretionary managed clients (“Invesco”) and supported by the Scottish Investment Bank (“SIB”), the investment arm of Scottish Enterprise, both current investors in Lamellar.

Lamellar is developing a pipeline of novel patent-protected medical devices and pharmaceuticals targeting:

• Dry Eye Disease (DED) with Lamelleye
• Radiotherapy-Induced Xerostomia (RIX) with Visco-ease
• Cystic Fibrosis (CF) with Muco-ease

Lamellar’s pipeline products target conditions that are poorly served by current medications and therefore represent areas of high value unmet medical need. Lamelleye is an approved Class 3 EU Medical Device. Visco-ease is also being developed as a Class 3 EU Medical device.

Alec McLean, CEO of Lamellar Biomedical, said: “We are pleased to have closed this Series C fund raising, which will allow us to generate further significant value from our pipeline of potentially groundbreaking LAMELLASOME^TM based products. We are running clinical trial programmes with Lamelleye and Visco-ease to demonstrate the clear benefits that they can deliver to patients with DED and RIX, respectively. Our First-in-Human study with Muco-ease in CF is expected to start in H2 this year. From these and our other IP, I am also confident that we can build a valuable pipeline of pharmaceutical products based on our unique LAMELLASOME^TM platform.”

The funds that have been raised will be used to:

• Support the commercialisation of both Lamelleye and Visco-ease globally through partners
• Generate clinical data with Muco-ease to position it for a potential co-development deal
• Expand Lamellar’s pipeline of LAMELLASOME^TM based pharmaceuticals targeting indications with high unmet medical needs including infection

Kerry Sharp, Head of the Scottish Investment Bank, said: “Lamellar is a great example of an innovative biotech company using new technology for differentiated product development. Scottish Enterprise works with Lamellar through its account management approach as well as investment from SIB, and we are pleased to continue our support with further investment.”
