Moving towards start of phase III

The Q2 operating loss was slightly larger than we had expected, to a large extent due to higher non-cash costs for option-based incentive programmes, but also due to an increase in R&D spend, which is trending up in the approach to the start of the WTX101 phase III trial in H2 2017. We keep our BUY recommendation but have trimmed our target price to SEK125 (SEK135) after adjusting the USD FX rate in our model.
Underlying
Wilson Therapeutics AB

Wilson Therapeutics AB is a Sweden-based biopharmaceutical company that is active in the development of a treatment for Wilson disease. Wilson disease is a genetic disease that causes copper poisoning. The Company's main product is Decuprate (tetrathiomolybdate), a de-coppering agent with a mechanism of action enabling it to bind copper to restore, in part or in whole, the body's own buffer system for copper in the liver. Decuprate also restores the natural excretion route via the bile rather than preventing copper to be absorbed or excreted through the kidneys. The Company operates through the Swedish subsidiaries Wilson Therapeutics Incentive AB and TTM Europe Development AB, as well as through Wilson Therapeutics Inc, a subsidiary based in the United States.
