Good morning troops!
Shorters can't be too happy about 4D's SP movement over the last couple of days. Things not looking to good for them, expecting to see our resident shorting scum clowns intensify their scaremongering over the Easter weekend.
I was holding here pre-Blaitix news when SP hit £1.80 or so... and that rise to 1.80 was on speculation that Blautix data would be so amazing (in gastrointestinal disease trials very rarely the case) that it would overnight lead to a licensing deal.
Just shows how little unfortunately PIs generally know about life sciences, which is a shame -because data was imo encouraging and showed efficacy in some patient cohorts/sub-samples - but market just focused on 'not statistically significant' bit in the RNS and the sell-off began.
That Blautix data update provided several months ago is really positive as a safe, well tolerated first prescription for newly diagnosed IBS patients (whether IBS-C or IBS-D) and in my opinion we could very easily see a commercial deal of some sort there for 4D.
FDA's update re Blautix should provide 4D (as well as any potential licensing partner) with an idea of what would be required out of the next trial to lead to approval- and Blautix generating cash.
So those that are just upset with 4D about the time it's taking to provide an update for Blautix need to understand that FDA's feedback is late ... and that pharma companies don't care about us being impatient PIs, for them waiting for a year in order to get more certainty around compounds approval potential (I.e. commercialisation potential) is worth the wait.
Now, if we hit 1.80 just on Blautix speculation, and we also have in my opinion really good RCC 0518 data update, we should see a real uplift on any news relating to financing or Blautix. Biotech market is in a downturn, but that doesn't mean that investors and funds are allergic to making money. We do need a few things to happen for us here, granted, but the potential is huge.
The above is purely my opinion, not an advisor/ investing guru so please do your own research before investing.
