Poxel SA (Euronext – POXEL - FR0012432516), a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of novel products to treat type 2 diabetes, today announced its cash position for the first quarter 2016.

As expected, Poxel did not generate significant revenues in either the first quarter of 2016 or 2015.

These figures are consistent with the Company’s expectations and its growth strategy, which remains focused on the clinical development of its diabetes drug candidates Imeglimin and PXL770.
