If the results from ava006 are good then that is massive news and I think would require a huge PR campaign - it would go beyond inviting II people with a vaguely entitled roadshow. It would also need an RNS immediately - been said already. So the roadshows are likely to be more "conservative". I do think AS will lay out the various projects on-going
1. Where are we with LFD relaunch - no dates but an indication of what is being done and how complicated - think we are past the dates originally proposed here by the xspirts. Will be pushed on where Avata sees themselves in a crowded market but the recent results showing affimers increase sensitivity of LFDs will be prominent. Expect the words "next wave" to be used.
2. AVA006. A good explanation of the pre-clinical animal work and the potential benefit to patients. Should be honest about start and finish dates of trial - not sure he could inform one group of investors about these in a closed meeting without telling us all so maybe an update tomorrow morning. If not can we assume all on track. He will be asked.
I think this is the whole point of the roadshow - he is premarketig the company for fund raise post these results - IIs might not invest but they might start watching and if they want to get in early then now is the time. AS has history when it comes to getting money in (rather than SP). I agree with him just feel he is less than truthful with PIs.
3. Selection of new candidates for precision. Not really news but hey lets pretend it is. Announced about four, three, two and one year ago. Wasd always going to be Velcade.
4. AVA004 and TMAC. I am really hoping for news about progress soon - this was hyped about three years ago but put on back burner. Needs money to move forward or....
5. Partnerships. These offer an opportunity for risk free leverage of avacta platforms. Sure we take a knock on revenue but Ava004 is blowing in the wind otherwise. So fund raise or licence only options given limited LFD income (I'm guessing)
6. Milestone payments. Maybe an outline of when these can be expected - may put off timing of fund raise.
7. Mention of NASDAQ. I'm guessing American IIS will have been approached to attend
