CTA approval and further funding.12 Nov 2022 12:48
Not know what others here opinions are but i would suggest that following successful CTA approval significant funding will be obtained. Leaning to the opinion of addition of funds by HNWI here'
Funds will we required for Ib
Funds for continued development of 1802.
Funds maybe for co development of 737.
Ball park figure of 6 million. 4 million for 1b and 2 million for translational preclinical in 1802.
On licence any time from end of 1a to end of 1b. Rationale behind this is once dose escalation studies are completed it will give strong indications as to what other immuno diseases 1801 has potential to treat.
in addition it will also give a good indication of the likelihood of good safety profile that will strongly enhance the value of 1802.
Until the dose escalation trial has been completed we cannot realistically put a value on 1801. With nothing proven at the moment and the delay with CTA approval there is not much we can do apart from wait.
Much potential with 737 despite the opinions that GSK know better than us.
GSK do not own SRA737 it remained the property of SO which i did point out several times months ago.
Sierra Oncology is a subsidiary of GSK and hence all legal obligations that were with SO still remain with SO
GSK obtained TESARO Dec2018
In addition to Zejula, TESARO has several oncology assets in its pipeline including antibodies directed against PD-1, TIM-3 and LAG-3 targets
i will add here
Zejula PARP inhibitor, ( niraparib) preclinical combo carried out with 737 circa 2019
The class of therapies have been plagued by safety setbacks, prompting their makers to limit their use in ovarian cancer patients, after clinical data suggested patients do not live as long as those given chemotherapy, in 'later-line settings', that is patients who initially have been treated with other drugs.
(I like the way they put 'prompting the makers to limit their use' The USA FDA would have instructed them to do that or have their FDA approval for Zejula revoked).
Jemperli PD-1 inhibitor ((dostarlimab),
The study evaluated the combination of Jemperli and chemotherapy against the combination of Merck’s MRK Keytruda (pembrolizumab) and chemotherapy in first-line patients with metastatic non-squamous NSCLC. Per GSK, the PERLA study was not designed to demonstrate the superiority of Jemperli over Keytruda in NSCLC indication.
( All that was done here was to achieve just enough to get approval where there is no alternative treatment at the moment. The foot in the door which GSK been doing for the past 25 years by fair means or foul)
Cobolimab T-cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain-containing protein 3 (TIM-3), Monoclonal antibodies which at one time was the latest in thing to have. They are not as good as were made out to be
This is GSK's line up obtained by the buyout of TESARO 1n 2018 for 5.1 billion.
All far from perfect. Available in the Uk for treatment.
Better more effective le
