BioArctic (Buy, TP: SEK200.00) - AdCom turns down aducanumab
On Friday, AdCom turned down aducanumab (Biogen’s anti-amyloid antibody) by eight votes to one (with two undecided). We expect a negative BioArctic share price reaction on Monday as lecanemab falls into the same class of drugs as aducanumab, but see support for the amyloid case from the lecanemab trial design and forthcoming data. In most cases, the FDA follows the AdCom’s view, but not always; hence the drug could still be approved. We believe some points in the briefing document should support BioArctic and the amyloid case.BioArctic is a research-based biopharma company which is engaged in developing new innovative disease modifying treatments based in antibodies (immunotheraphy) for neurodegenerative disease (i.e. diseases where the nervous system degenerates) such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease and a treatment concept for complete spinal cord injuries (i.e. an injury where the spinal cord is completely broken). Co.'s operations are focused on research and development of new drugs for diseases and conditions with great medical need.
