4SC - Yakult starts Phase II trial; fresh 4SC-202 data

Yakult, 4SC’s development partner for resminostat in Japan, has reached two clinical development milestones. First, just two weeks after it joined 4SC’s pivotal RESMAIN study (n=150) in CTCL, the company recruited the first patient in Japan. Top-line results from the RESMAIN trial are expected in mid-2019. In addition, Yakult initiated its own Phase II study in biliary tract cancer (n=100) in combination with S-1 chemotherapy. S-1 is widely used in Japan and other Asian countries to treat patients following relapse after a 1st line chemotherapy regimen. The final data readout is expected in mid-2020. Meanwhile, at the AACR Annual Meeting in April, 4SC presented new preclinical data supporting the use of its second lead product, 4SC-202 in combination with various immunotherapy agents. Our valuation is virtually unchanged at €348 or €11.4/share.
