Review: ‘Next Level’ of development

Mologen’s strategic review has focused its efforts on the development and commercialisation of late and early clinical assets, notably lead candidate lefitolimod (oncology and HIV) and EnanDIM, a next-generation TLR9 agonist. Partnering opportunities for lefitolimod are being actively sought; we anticipate Phase III data in 2018. Manufacturing efforts will be out-sourced to achieve suitable scale. MGN1601 (renal cancer vaccine) is on hold. Mologen’s move to a more clinical development-focused company means preclinical R&D assets (MIDGE vector system) will be spun off or divested. We value Mologen at €201m or €8.87/share.
