Myles’ take -
"Away from STS, they are already beating SGC’s PFS."
The most important takeaway from the various important info released by #AVCT over the last week. Really sick, heavily pre-treated patients with salivary gland cancer being treated with AVA6000 in the Phase 1a study have already enjoyed a median progression-free survival greater than they could have received from any other currently marketed drug.
And to note:
- That median PFS beat is only going to increase, as most patients in the trial are still under follow-up;
- In the registrational trial, patients will have undergone fewer prior treatments on average, thus increasing likelihood of response (and consequently, increasing the study's median PFS);
- Patients being treated with AVA6000 are all the while enjoying a MUCH better quality of life due to negligible side-effects (relative to conventional chemo), a crucial USP that should always be reiterated.
Most investors who have carried our proper DD will appreciate that #AVA6000 receiving accelerated approval for the salivary gland cancer indication, is pretty much a shoe in.
Avacta - especially at sub 40p! - remains a 100 bagger lying in plain sight.
The Dx venture and Heights debacle, although devasting (likely will have halved the long-term upside deu to dilution, once they have both been wholly removed from the equation), have by no means been catastrophic.
It will be looked back on as a painful and needless two and a half year transitory period. Fortunately, the pre | CISION platform has outshone all expectations by such an extent, that the 100 bagger proposition remains intact. The share count will likely have more than doubled, but the intrinsic value has increased by many multiples over the same period.
AVA6000 (both in-house revenues from SGC commencing hopefully in 2027; and from out-licensing for other indications - notably STS, TNBC) will put Avacta on a stable financial footing...
And AVA6103 changes the game completely.
"The Company has seen a dramatic increase in therapeutic index in preclinical models, suggesting that AVA6103 could have an unprecedented safety profile in the clinic. AVA6103 has the potential to treat hundreds of thousands of patients with the broad use of the topo I drug class and over 90% of solid tumors expressing FAP."
