Outlook: Emerging cancer immunotherapy player

Medigene’s purchase of Trianta Immunotherapies and subsequent €15.9m capital raise completes its transformation into an emerging cancer immunotherapy player. Medigene is now focused on developing Trianta’s three technology platforms for haematological malignancies. The fresh finance provides an opportunity to deliver first clinical proof-of-concept by 2016, initially for its dendritic cell (DC) based cancer vaccines, the most advanced technology in Phase I/II studies for AML and prostate cancer. We value Medigene at €99m, or €7.15 per share.
