RE: Significance of Parker tweet?13 Dec 2021 20:32
Parker retweet of my tweet was a good sign as it means imo he agrees that we are completing preclinical very soon, before 2022 imo. Before the AGM, I'd love to see that.
Few thoughts, this completion could be the catalyst for the next big value driver, a licence on 1801.
Huge support for this licence by existing shareholders but only if the price/deal is right, the board have been consistent with their shareholder value comments, balance between need for cash and later stage more lucrative deal.
Already confirmed that we will.need more cash for the actual clinical trials, suspect this is already prepared from the HNWI's, as why take consultants onboard to design the trial, costs must be accounted for if Sareum are to get the go ahead, as we know they leave no stone unturned.
If you watch the YouTube videos from about 5year ago you'll hear Tim say that you can do a deal at anytime with the right target, now just look at what tyk2 has become, unbelievable.
Personally I'm hoping that the COVID play isn't dead and the consultants and reformulation into capsule are part of the prerequisites to a deal.
If you read about previous M&A in this sector you'll discover that not all deals are simple, Sareum could play this a multitude of ways, sell rights to specific regions and use of clinical data, options for licensor to take worldwide rights at a later stage, I'm hoping they are getting creative as that is a way to protect shareholders into the future development of our compounds, an addition to the board would be welcome in the face of any deal from a large pharma. Pfizer on the spending spree and confirmed on an investor call that they want medical breakthroughs in early stage development, tyk2 can imo be classed as a breakthrough now that FDA approved BMS drug and the amount of disease, including COVID that could be treated.
Pfizer could take 1801 in COVID only, I'm sure we'll all be happy with that, but they know the JAK class very well indeed, recently stopped development of majority of their JAK inhibitors, they will have some amazing in-house expertise in this area now, which lets forgot is still very new in pharma timescales. Breakthrough treatments in multiple disease, instant FDA fast track.
