Arctic Bioscience (Hold, TP: NOK15.00) - HeROPA-trial results

Arctic Bioscience announced results for the HeROPA trial (mild-to moderate psoriasis). While the results did not include detailed data, it was clear that the trial did not meet the primary endpoint (The proportion of patients with ≥50% reduction in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI50) from baseline to week 26). The failure to meet the primary endpoint was partly explained by an unexpectedly high effect rate in the placebo group (comparisons between HRO350 2,100 mg and placebo, and HRO350 1,050 mg and placebo were conducted). This is a dramatic setback for the company, in our view, since it significantly questions the technology’s benefit within the pharmaceutical business in general and in the psoriasis disease area specifically.
