In the Stockbox interview (30th March) and the Sunday Roast interview (12th March) AS mentioned that the next key milestone is the delivering of the SOP (Standard Operating Protocol)
Soundbites…
- “from point of delivering a SOP with platform, reagents, everything ready to go….” to establish LDT ready for clinical testing in the US.
- “can’t start till we deliver the SOP…”
“We’ve got our automated platform ready to go…etc….
That was four months ago…
Linked to that, we know Corepath were looking at having the LDT ready in FY23, and from SOP to LDT available for clinical trials is c 6 months as per AS comments , which collectively would SOP can’t be far away (taking into account standard delays in the sector) and Cizzle were working on it 4 months+ back so can’t be far off…
Linked to the above, I got an email back from Tim Metcalfe a couple of weeks back, he mentioned they were conscious of the need to provide updates to shareholders, but needed to be material news. He also mentioned about the poor current small caps market sentiment which I thought was a curious thing to add, but I took it that they didn’t want to deliver minor news when there wasn’t the market buoyancy to support it.
(We are starting to see shoots of that changing in the last couple of weeks.)
I suspect, and could be wrong, that they’ll be mindful of recent spike in March, and that any news announced needs to sustain momentum. I’d therefore expect next news (other than wider stuff re partners, Conduit etc…) to be around delivery of the SOP rather than piecemeal RNSs around mAbs, reagents, assay optimisation etc….
Hoping when news lands, and doubt it’s far off, is that it’s substantial…
IMHO
