Have they already got P2 funding27 Feb 2024 15:39
Everyone screaming about funding, Avacta haven’t got enough money to complete Phase 2.
Remember this question:
Are you working closely with the FDA (discussions, suggestions, guidance) to get AVA6000 approved? Are you applying for Breakthrough Therapy or any other designation from the FDA? Are you applying for any designations from the MHRC or EMA?
We cannot provide further information on the regulatory strategy for AVA6000 other than what was in the presentation. To do so could jeopardise our discussions with the regulatory bodies and potentially prevents us from protecting new intellectual property. We will do so when we have concluded our discussions with the FDA and other regulatory bodies – in mid-2024.

Are we all looking for the wrong funding ie: T/O, partnership or licence deal.
The funding could be through the FDA.

“And the really cool thing about our technology and there is not many companies on the planet who have this and lots are saying we want it.
Is that we hit the barricade and the actual cancer cells themselves, both at the same time and that’s a very cool thing.”
Now they are keeping their cards close to their chest on FDA discussions.
Have they had the nod on the results so far and the 2 week dosing is just a box ticking exercise for approval.
Further information on the regulatory strategy for AVA6000 will be released when we have concluded our discussions with the FDA and other regulatory bodies – in mid-2024.
