Do pay attention it has been explained and detailed.
Sclp said cash to early 2025, that was pre fund raise, raise for £6m they said it would take them to mid/late 2025. In the raise they took £6m more which takes the runway into 2026.
The Glymab deal expires Jan 25, if the party proceeds likely $5m up front as per the previous deal.
CFO proactive investor presentation. Glymab existing deal phase 1 2025 which triggers a single digit millions milestone payment.
So the potential to add one or both of those payments to the pot.
The knowledgeable type in this sector suggest phase 2/3 end of 2025.
On top of that there is clearly a strong buyer/fund in the market, who would have approached Scancell first to offer investment (standard game).
The figures, news, and details support cash not needed, hence the buying in the market.
Cash needed post, Scib, Scib+ and all modi combo data.
BMS paid $200m up front for a pre clinical candidate (recently slumped it)
Merck just paid $700m up front, for a phase 1/2 candidate showing efficacy where standard of care had progression. Just like Scancell therapies, showing efficacy where others failed.
BMS in acquisition bolt on mode, Merck the same and both pursuing markets Scancell are in with Scancell therapies providing efficacy upgrades.
Patent cliff situation, is dire, worst ever for them.
Right place right time and can go it alone if needed."
