Abeona Therapeutics Stakeholder Letter in Response to the COVID-19 PandemicNEW YORK and CLEVELAND, March 27, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The COVID-19 pandemic has created extraordinary challenges across all aspects of healthcare. Many institutions and their brave staff of providers are now focused on caring for patients stricken by the virus. We at Abeona are thankful for their sacrifices and efforts, and stand behind these healthcare institutions whose resources are focused on the greater good. We are dedicated to being a good global citizen in doing our part by following guidance from local health officials in New York, Cleveland, and Madrid, and where remote employees reside. Above all, we will take every reasonable measure to ensure the safety of our patients and employees, while sustaining our business operations during this uncertain time. Abeona is fully focused on getting through the pandemic by working closely with our clinical trial sites to ensure that patient safety remains paramount. Clinical Development While the full impact on our clinical programs cannot be quantified at this point, what we do know is that all current clinical trial sites remain active. We can say with certainty that some sites have paused screening and delays are expected as the situation evolves globally. What we won’t know fr the foreseeable future is the long-term impact. However, we remain dedicated to communicating frequently and openly with our stakeholders as more information becomes available, including updates on material changes to prior guidance as we continue to follow applicable government, regulatory and institutional guidelines. Business Operations As we try to rationalize the unprecedented developments sweeping the globe, please be assured that Abeona is doing all it can to protect our patients, employees, and the communities around us. This includes company operations that underpin our aspirations to bring new medicines to patients in need. Abeona is about great Science and great People, and it’s important we continue to do everything we can to preserve both. We will get through this – but only if we work together.
