Midatech Pharma - Pipeline delivery key to future outlook

Midatech’s FY21 results continued to reflect financial prudence (following the March 2020 business realignment), with normalised operating loss improving to £7m (£10.7m in FY20) despite a much broader R&D pipeline. Clinical asset MTX110 (MidaSolve platform), already in Phase I for orphan DIPG and medulloblastoma brain cancers, is expected to commence a Phase I study in mid-2022 for recurrent glioblastoma, an opportunity more than 30 times the size of the other two combined. We believe visibility from the Q-Sphera pipeline will improve investor confidence. With the current cash balance (£10.1m at the end of FY21) only sufficient to fund operations to early 2023, we anticipate that potential partnerships and/or licensing deals will de-risk the near-term outlook.
