Why would they exit by Christmas? The cash burn is high but considering we have a significant pipeline of trials it is worth the cost IMO. I think the next financing will involve the Americans and for a significant amount. The US listing looks likely and is a smart move for the company to attain a fair valuation for the platforms we have.
The RNS says that they will look for a partner to take Blautix forwards if the trial is successful and they are in talks about this. It’s clear that they are focusing resources now on MRx-0518 (oncology), MRx-4DP0004 (Asthma and Covid) and are keen to develop their two neurodegeneration strains. Blautix and Thetanix are likely to be licensed out to a partner, either a fellow LBP developer or a larger pharma who is interested in the microbiome space, Takeda has crossed my mind. Takeda have shown interest in the microbiome, particularly in GI disorders and have already formed partnerships with Enterome and Debiopharm.
