Update: Co-operation agreement for Phase I IIT TCR trial

Medigene has announced it has entered into a co-operation agreement to conduct a Phase I investigator-initiated TCR therapy trial (IIT), with grant funding, in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma. This is an important step forward in the process of bringing its TCR therapy to patients, a potentially transformational approach to treating certain cancers. The final aspect is the regulatory approval for the trial, to which Medigene is contributing. We expect the Phase I trial to initiate at end 2016/early 2017. We maintain our rNPV-based valuation at €214m, or €10.8 per share, with upside expected when the Phase I trial is initiated.
