Good afternoon chrisatrdg.
It was not the RNS that we were expecting, certai ly not myself as looking at onlicence.
However, the RNS, apart from the delay to data package submission is all fine.
HNWI's along with institutions have raised 2.3 million.
This will enable the financing of the further studies.
I see no problems in our SD 1801 compound whatsoever
It is essential that we can supply all safety data that we have.
Long term use side effects can happen and are normally realised later in Phase 2 and phase 3 trials.
The only thing here in my opinion is a concern to long use of kinase inhibitors. We are talking about years here.how long can you effectively continual dose a patent for.
Psoriasis whilst at the moment not curable is treatable
In effect we are will be undertaking long term safety testing to reinforce the data that we already have in phase1a clinical.
Long term safety testing is not the same as a maximum tolerated dose or maximum therapeutic dose.
The importance here is that is comes down to the valuation of a the SDC1801 compound.
We may be able to continue treatment with a patient for 2 years 5 years or 10 years without any undue side effects.
So to establish long term use effects further testing is required.
We never obtained a maximum tolerated dose.
Indeed in the trial escalation daily dosing was restricted to 300mg per day.
This is 30% of the envisage maximum therapeutic dose.
This 30% applies to other kinase inhibitors and by the very nature of us containing a Jak1 however selective over we were subject to these restrictions.
All Jak1 Jak2 or Jak3 inhibitors irrespective of selectivity over have these restrictions placed upon them and in addition concern over long exposure to with associated negative effects.
In all we should be demonstrably safer than any jaki inhibitor with the exception possibly of Tyk2
If we are as good with regards to long term predictable safety that will make our compound commercially more viable from a financial point of view than Deucravacitinib.
Interested parties will want to know if we may be fit to be regarded ok for long term use.
They will commercialise, they can forecast number if patients and the effective time that the patient can remain on this compound whilst of course at the same time generating a revenue.
Yes, we may well prove to be good in other Indications such as SLE or Chohns Disease, type 1 diabetes, and many other Indications that require a lifetime of treatment.
The RNS to be taken as a good positive, irrespective of the time delay.
An institution has come aboard and for that to happen dialogue has happened to install confidence.
