Isofol Medical Licensing deal for Canada

Isofol Medical today announced it has entered into a licensing agreement with Paladin Labs for the commercialisation of arfolitixorin. Isofol is entitled to up to cSEK205m in upfront and milestone payments, and double-digit royalties. However, like the previous deal, the company is tight-lipped about the deal structure. On our valuation, there should be only potential upside to this deal as it incurs no more costs and leaves the door to a global licensing deal open. We have not updated our out-licensing scenario, hoping for a clearer picture in the Q3 report. We reiterate our fair value of SEK10–23.

Modufolin contains the key active substance methylenetetrahydrofolate (MTHF), which is the active metabolite in all folate-based medicines and therefore does not require metabolic activation to exert its action. The Company cooperates with pharmaceutical manufacturer Merck & Co Inc, as well as the Company has a worldwide supply and licence agreement for the use of Modufolin in cancer treatment. The Company's main shareholders are Biofol AB and Yield Life Science AB.
