I have taken the time to read, interpret and listen to many views about the agreement before putting together this post, however the only Statements that should be used are those from the RNS and then the clarification from ValiRX in terms of actual factual statements.
in the next few posts i have added statements that have bene confirmed in various interviews to the RNS for some clarity.
“London, UK - ValiRx Plc (AIM: VAL), a life science company focusing on early-stage cancer therapeutics and women's health, announces today it has entered into a non-binding letter of intent ("LOI") with TheoremRx Inc. ("TheoremRx"), a recently incorporated company, a next generation drug development Company, to enter into a licence agreement on pre-agreed terms to sub-license ValiRx's legacy asset VAL201 for development in the treatment of cancer (the "Licence Agreement"). Completion of the Licence Agreement is subject to, inter alia, the successful fundraise by TheoremRx.”
As is normal for this type of start up venture, the funding is dependent upon the company having a product, the LOI is needed to contractually confirm the product is theirs to use on condition of funding, you can’t get one without the other – We should not see funding as an issue for TheoremRx.
TheoremRX is not the same company some were posting links to, lets face it DR Ken Sorensen is not called Theo who is the gentleman on the website that others posted links to.
“TheoremRx is private US-based oncology company focused on the discovery and development of new treatments that will benefit patients suffering from cancer. TheoremRx has established a highly integrated approach for the discovery, development and manufacture of peptide and small molecule drugs that modulate targets of clinical interest.”
Suzy is a scientist and has been impressed with the discussions and level of knowledge the Team of industry professionals at TheoremRx have displayed
“Under this proposed Licence Agreement, TheoremRx will obtain a worldwide licence to ValiRx's VAL201 intellectual property for a novel peptide targeting SRC kinase targeting oncology indications. ValiRx will retain the rights to develop the VAL201 peptide for non-oncology indications, including VAL301 for endometriosis.”
Currently 301 is subject to works being carried out by a Japanese Pharma company and could lead to a completely separate agreement which would be an additional income stream in the future.
“Subject to successful market authorisation, the potential value of the deal would be in excess of US$61M plus royalties for the first cancer indication alone.”
A small focused team form a hungry company will be more likely to take this to market quicker than a big pharma, in addition it was confirmed that time lines and dates for the project have bene confirmed within the contracts and LOI, again bringing focus to the project.
Royalties on top of this will be in the high single figures meaning anywhere between 5-9%
