Oxford Cannabinoid Technologies - Early signs of revival in clinical activity

Oxford Cannabinoid Technologies (OCT) has announced its H124 results (to end-October 2023), an eventful period for the company, marked by successful clinical progression of lead asset OCT461201, albeit with some funding challenges. Key highlights included the initiation and subsequent positive safety data from OCT’s first Phase I clinical trial (Programme 1) and a foray into oncology (Programme 4). Tight funding conditions halted subsequent clinical progress, although the recently announced £1.3m R&D tax rebate, £1.2m fund-raise and planned clinical progression for second asset OCT130401 (Programme 2) offer signs of a potential revival in activity. We estimate that the fresh capital will support runway extension into Q4 CY24. Our valuation of the company stands at £25.3m or 2.6p per share, although we estimate the company needing additional funds towards the end of CY24 to further the company’s clinical pipeline.
