If there was a problem with the science/trial, why fundraise to progress AVA6000...?
There are thousands of trials taking place and to get patients onboard our trial looking at the very strict perameters could be a bit of a challenge. My guess is they have spent the last couplke of months preparing and recruiting plus fundraising and only now are they in a position to go full steam ahead knowing that the funds are going to be available. Chicken and egg. Economies both sides of the pond are in a mess and have suffered huge inflation...that inflation has, I'm sure hit Avacta hard too with increased costs. Yes we hear all the bla bla from our Govt leaders about inflation coming down etc but lots of prices have remained high and will continue to do so. We have many friends in the US and they are hurting, just as we are.
'According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor, the average U.S. annual salary in Q4 of 2023 was $59,384. This is up 5.4% from the same time period in 2022, when the average American was making $56,316 per year. Average weekly earnings reached $1,142, while the average American made $4,949 per month in Q4 of 2023.'
The US is expensive...very expensive, especially with regard to anything to do with medical/Pharma...
Get real guys...any investor coming in at this point is taking a risk...we are only on Phase 1...and the trial numbers are small.
Let's see what the 18th brings...
