Isofol Medical New CEO but goal remains the same

The chairman of the board has been appointed as the new CEO of Isofol Medical, but we do not anticipate any major strategic overhaul. The ongoing pivotal phase III study AGENT continues to progress according to plan and is preparing to include patients in Japan and Australia. An interim read-out from the study is due in mid-2020. The company reported a Q3 operating loss of cSEK46m, fairly in line with our estimate. We reiterate our fair value of SEK18–49/share.
Underlying
Isofol Medical AB

Isofol Medical AB (publ) is a Sweden-based clinical stage pharmaceutical company. Its primary product is Modufolin, the active metabolite. Modufolin is a folate-based compound, which increases the efficiency and reduces the side effects of chemotherapy. 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.
