Just on valuations... I know this is not going to be a real outcome as such here but just for a little example of your valuation technique... Here is info on what the new Glycan MaBs could possibly be worth as in there are real figures attached.... so if you went off these figures as fact ( they aren't and won't be) and imagine scancell got all the income (they would not) and scancells shares in issue were same as they are now and discount ImmunoBody/moditope.... can you give what would be a realistic value going off the given figures?
'Commercial and economic impact
Nottingham University Therapeutic Antibody centre (NUTAC) has been established to develop and licence monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). Professor Durrant has had success with this process through her spin out company Scancell Ltd using external investment. The current business model is that NUTAC would develop and licence new mAbs using University (£500k)/grant (£500k) income so that all future income flows to the University will enable development of further mAbs. We have produced four mouse mAbs which show selective in vitro and in vivo tumour killing. Chimerisation of those mAbs to human IgG1 mAbs coincided with a reduction in potency. The current grant is designed to confirm the key residues in the mouse mAbs that are required for this increased potency and to transfer it to the human mAbs. This will not only allow us to produce 3 novel human mAbs for licensing to the Biotechnology/Pharmaceutical industry but could form a platform to improve the efficacy of all human mAbs.The top two lead mAbs, FG27 and FG88, could potentially treat 214,500 and 421,500 patients per annum based upon the % of tumours that express the target antigen. These are patients who currently have failed all other therapies and die of their disease. If we assume market penetration of 50% and a treatment price of £10,000 per patient this is a potential market of £1-2 billion.
Patient Benefit
Our mAbs can be used in the treatment of a wide range of cancer patients. As they not only directly kill tumours but initiative immune responses they should confer similar survival benefits to the new checkpoinhibitors which are currently curing 20-50% of advanced melanoma patients. If our mAbs are used to treat over 300,000 patients per annum and a conservative 20% are cured this could result in saving over 60,000 lives per annum. '
