Update: Resminostat refocused cancer strategy begins

4SC’s recent €29m capital increase has provided vital funds to advance the epigenetic lead candidate resminostat. Focus is now on an EU Phase II trial in CTCL, rather than liver cancer (HCC). HCC would have been more costly and time-consuming compared with CTCL. Clinical data in 2016 in HCC and NSCLC from the Yakult collaboration will allow 4SC to revisit, with less risk, the prospects for resminostat in other cancers ex-Asia. Combination of resminostat with new immunotherapies is also being explored. Our valuation increases from €115m to €141m to reflect the cash increase and fresh development plans for resminostat in CTCL (EU).
