'Big Pharma diligence teams aren't just looking at doxorubicin.
They are looking at the Gen Two (AVA6103/exatecan) and Gen Three (dual-payload) data.
They know that if this platform safely delivers exatecan across 90% of solid tumors, it threatens the entire $100 billion ADC market. '

Q What do you think is the most underappreciated aspect of Avacta.
A CC - I think it's an understanding of just how versatile the platform becomes, with the inventions around AVA6103.
Before this medicine got into the clinic, before we even invented this, making precision medicines that fit in the active site that release, were really hard.
We only had a few of them. With the inventions around 6103, there's two key aspects:
The first is we can FAP enable now almost any medicine out there.
So whereas before we had to find something to fit in the active site, now it just hangs off, now we can attach almost anything.
We've got almost 40 of these linkers, we've now made almost 500 precision medicines, - it's kind of crazy our chemists are quite busy. [March 2026, - more since if chemists were busy then].
The second aspect is we can dial in the exact PK.
So when a potential partner / strategic partner says well what can you do with the PK of this medicine? Francis our CSO will reply 'what do you want us to do with it'.
Then we have a good conversation, - do you want it to release quickly, do you want a high C-Max, do you want a long AUC?
We can dial those in and the recent spotlight series [spotlight 13] that we put out about this, the scientists actually took people through exactly how the mechanism works.
So I actually think it's brilliant chemistry, and it's still a SMALL MOLECULE. It's still fairly cheap [90% cheaper than ADC manufacture], - and easily manufactured.
So we're particularly excited that it held up so well against an ADC in the pre-clinical.
2 The preCISION platform hosts 6000, 6103 and plans to host 6207. Without a tested platform, there can be no targeted drug delivery.
There has been no attempt to value this key attribute.
It's value increases as AVCT publishes further evidence of operational successes with the 6000 phase one trial (fresh date available >June @ bio-international).
6103 success is evident from the fact the trial has not been halted despite first patient dosed on 31 March 2026, - 9 weeks ago.
Also, based on favorable preclinical activity and biomarker readouts from the strategic collaboration with Tempus, two indications have been added to the trial:
colorectal cancer (CRC) and hormone receptor-positive breast cancer (HR+ BC).
[Why add new indications, if the four originals are not delivering acceptable results].
