Ultimovacs (Sell, TP: NOK4.00) - Top-line results for FOCUS trial

Ultimovacs announced top-line results for the FOCUS trial (metastatic or recurrent head and neck cancer). While the results did not include detailed data, it was clear that the trial – as we expected – did not meet the primary and secondary endpoints. The failed study is another dramatic setback for the company, in our view, further denting our confidence in a clinical benefit of the UV1 vaccine across cancer indications. We remain concerned about Ultimovacs’ ability to generate investor interest during its financial runway and ahead of the next financing need.
