How much is Scancell worth now?7 Jun 2018 14:48

According to the above article:
"As the drug moves through the development process, the risk decreases with each major milestone. The Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America reported in 2003 that drugs entering Phase I clinical trials have a 15% probability of becoming a marketable product. For those in Phase II, the odds of success rise to 30%, and for Phase III, they climb to 60%. Once clinical trials are complete and the drug enters the final FDA approval phase, it has a 90% chance of success. These improvements in the odds of success translate directly into stock value."
This article also tells us how to calculate a drugs potential values once it has been approved and is being sold. We know that Scancell have no intention of marketing drugs themselves so perhaps we should replace these calculations with an estimated sale value of each of Scancell's drugs.
So lets stick to clinical trials already carried out or planned.
So if we value SCIB1 as being worth $1 billion if FDA approved, SC1B2 as $2 billion and Modi1 as $1 billion we get the total value of
for SCIB1 $1 billion x 60% = .6 billion (assuming SC1B1 is now ready for a Phase 3 trial)
for SCIB2 $2 billion x 15% = .30 billion (entering phase 1 next year)
for ModI1 $1 billion x 15% = .15 billion (entering phase 1 next year
This gives a total of 1.05 billion
Then perhaps we should factor in a risk that although trials are successful, Big Pharma still show no interest (perhaps the obsession with CIs will continue).
Even if we add a risk factor of 50% this still gives us around 0.5 billion and this equates to a share price of around �1
Note: This only takes into account trails that we know are planned. It does not take into account
a) A probable ModI2 trail in 2020
b) A possible deal with BionTech
c) The kudos of winniing the CRUK Grand challenge
d) The 3rd platform announced at time of the placing/OO
Obvious folks can put their own values on SCIB1/2 and ModI1 and also substitute their own values on the percentages that I have used which are probably too conservative.
But this little exercise does show how undervalued Scancell is, and also how the potential value will grow as trials are carried out and are successful.
