During this process, Scynexis will wind down its promotional activities while keeping Brexafemme on the market and available to patients.
Scynexis will conclude the partnership with its contracted commercial sales partner, Amplity Health, and undertake a workforce reduction. The resulting resources will be redirected to the hospital program, extending the cash runway into Q2 2024.
Scynexis' CEO & President Marco Taglietti will retire as of December 31, 2022.
David Angulo, Chief Medical Officer since 2015, will become President & CEO, effective January 1, 2023.
Ivor Macleod will join Scynexis as CFO on October 24.
Price Action: SCYX shares are down 6.12% at $2.76 on the last check Thursday.
