BioArctic (Buy, TP: SEK206.00) - An antibody is not an antibody…

BioArctic presented data that strengthens our positive view of BAN2401. Since the termination of aducanumab and crenezumab in H1 2019, there has been a lot of scepticism towards antibodies targeting amyloid-β. BioArctic presented comparative data on how strong BAN2401 binds to the neurotoxic species of amyloid-β and compared it with aducanumab. The company showed in vitro that BAN2401 binds up to 100x stronger to amyloid-β protofibrils than aducanumab. We believe this is an important differentiating factor that sets BAN2401 apart from other antibodies. We maintain our BUY and SEK206 target price on BioArctic.
