Avacta Group - Initiation

Avacta has two proprietary drug development platforms, pre|CISION™ and Affimer® and two divisions, Therapeutics and Diagnostics, of which Therapeutics dominates valuation. Avacta is currently shepherding its AVA6000 agent, the first fruit of its pre|CISION™ platform, through Phase 1a clinical trials with highly promising but early stage initial results. While this compound alone could easily be worth £10/share, given the high risk of clearing all clinical trials and the time value of money, we calculate a current value of 18p/share rising to 83p/share should commercialisation commence straight after Phase 2 trials. Avacta hopes to move to Phase 1b testing for AVA6000 later this year and, with £42m in cash at YE22, could be fully funded to Phase 2 trials.
