It's been a very quiet couple of months for Avacta (at least on the RNS front) following key management changes, but I believe that #AVCT is now on the cusp of a transformational few months (see @RAH00084's thread below, for likely major news items between now and Christmas).
The biblical share price rally that I have been harping on about for years is, I think, at last drawing near. Knockout data from the 3+ year #AVA6000 Phase 1 clinical trial will be the key catalyst, that could unlock so much for the company (commercial deals, corporate actions, expanded clinical activities). And that P1 study could officially be brought to a close, any day now.
The uber bull case is very simple: pre | CISION is the most targeted delivery platform for warheads designed to treat solid tumours, ever developed. As such, it represents one of the most important developments in oncology in years - many shareholders would in fact argue, ever.
The evidence for this is already coming to light from the AVA6000 P1a trial. See @jivetur88775834's post, also below. The first pre | CISION prodrug isn't just 20%, 50% even 100% more targeted than the leading antibody-drug conjugates on the market right now; it is many multiple times more targeted. The implications of this are absolutely staggering.
Clearly, most market participants do not yet believe this. It is, after all, a ludicrous claim to make. How could an AIM listed company have gotten hold of such a crucially important (and absurdly valuable!) platform?!
But as I've said, the evidence for this is already beginning to present itself. And it's not difficult to perceive what is going to happen when pre | CISION is used to modify much more modern and potent warheads than the half-century old doxorubicin, and moreover used in suitable patient populations.
Phase 1b/2 for AVA6000 will be kicking off between now and Christmas. This is the point at which multi billion $ takeovers become a very real possibility in targeted oncology (and there are plenty of examples of this occurring over the past five years).
In my view, it's simply a case of "When" for Avacta. The "If" part was removed quite a while ago now.
We (and Avacta's share price!) are in for in interesting few months.
Have a good weekend all! ππ»
