Shares in UK-based biotech company Verona (LSE: VRP) fell as the company announced its first-half 2015 financial figures, but the news came simultaneously with positive trial data.

Speaking to The Pharma Letter on the day of the release of new clinical data and half-year financials, Verona’s chief executive Jan-Anders Karlsson said: “Admittedly there’s not a lot of new clinical data, but the data we’ve had out today is very encouraging and we’re excited about that. Taken together, it really demonstrates that the compound in the new formulation is exciting.”
