and just to highlight again have they produced any evidence yet of Goal 1 ...........
which is why in the 18Th Dec 2017 RNS
they set 3 Goals
·     To substantially raise the dosing level in patients in order to reach therapeutic levels and reduce disease progression;Â
·     To assess at what stage in disease development the compound can be most effectively deployed in subsequent, larger, outcome-oriented clinical trials; and
·     To determine which route and with whom to take the project to its next stage - by the Company or with a partner.
From Oct RNS .......... No efficacy Data
London, UK., 17 October 2018: ValiRx Plc (AIM: VAL), the clinical stage biotechnology company, is pleased to announce that VAL201 has now entered the concluding stages of its Phase l/ll clinical trial at University College London Hospital ("UCLH") involving patients with hormone-sensitive and hormone-resistant prostate cancer.
This stage of the trial follows approval received from the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency ("MHRA") to escalate VAL201 dosing (announced by the Company on18 December 2017). In the intervening period, the Company has geared up the compound supply chain to meet increased demand for the drug, as a result of the higher dosage to be administered. UCLH has spent the period both screening and recruiting patients who are eligible to enter this stage of the study.
The current cohort has already received the escalated dose. This marks the point that VAL201 entered the concluding stages of the Phase l/ll clinical trial. The VAL201 compound has already demonstrated consistent safety and tolerability and signs of activity in previous patients treated with lower dosages.
UCLH continues to recruit suitable patients to complete the trial. Further results will be announced as they become available and have been verified.
Now they have stated
"""""The current cohort has already received the escalated dose. This marks the point that VAL201 entered the concluding stages of the Phase l/ll clinical trial.""""""
actually this is the concluding point of the Phase 1 part ................ as per the 3 Goals
·     To substantially raise the dosing level in patients in order to reach therapeutic levels and reduce disease progression;Â
·     To assess at what stage in disease development the compound can be most effectively deployed in subsequent, larger, outcome-oriented clinical trials; and
·     To determine which route and with whom to take the project to its next stage - by the Company or with a partner.
what i am not doing is Saying the trial has failed, i am just highlight exactly the data that is missing which is
"efficacy" to compete with current standard of care ... at phase 1
Then you can think about value drivers ................ because unless you have efficacy that has commercial value i struggle to see how you can market it as a produc
