RE: Yahoo .why Scancell share price is climbing ?8 Jun 2026 16:54
I cannot believe that there was any association between the recent rise and ASCO; indeed three was not even much by way of "hype". Nor do I believe that there was any "leak"; more likely attributable to the build up of exposure of Scancell, their products, progress etc and oncology more generally. Had Scancell issued any news, or updates in the last two weeks to support and continue that exposure I could well imagine that upward trajectory continuing. I am not surprised (in retrospect) that the sp peaked to coincide with Phil's audience at the Parliamentary Select Committee; his observations could (by some) have been interpreted as providing reason to consider that SCLP's short term progress was being impeded by the systemic strictures of the UK (and EU) approvals process, access to funding etc and as potential explanations of why we have not seen any of the long list of awaited milestones.
If, as has been suggested here by many, that the first on our long list of anticipated announcements is contingent, or dependent on, say, MHRA or EMA approval, or a Nasdaq listing, how long will we have to wait for the first of them? Are GT milestone payments contingent on EMA approval? Is the lack of MHRA approval holding up funding of Phase 3 iSCIB1+ trials?
Personally I doubt that these issues are so intrinsically connected. Modi results are surely only awaiting optimal maturity before being released, nothing more? Genmab milestone payments, purely in negotiation? If iSCIB1+ funding is likely to come from the US, are the Pharma's too worried about MHRA and EMA approvals? I doubt it and Phil suggested that the key to unlocking funding is FDA approval and that MHRA is no longer the gold standard.....
So I think we just need to sit on our hands and await the revelations as they arise - as I am sure they will - and even if we do have to wait for MHRA , EMA approvals or a funding even (if need be) via a Nasdaq listing, surely that is now just a question of when and not if....
