Oryzon Genomics - Phase IIa trial in Alzheimer’s disease initiated

According to the latest news from Oryzon, the first Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients (3/90) were recruited into the Phase IIa ETHERAL clinical trial testing ORY-2001, a dual LSD1/MAOB inhibitor for CNS indications. The trial is expected to be finalised in Q419, but Oryzon plans to report preliminary data in early 2019, which is one of the main catalysts in the near term. The second Phase IIa trial with ORY-2001 SATEEN in multiple sclerosis (MS) continues to enrol patients, with the preliminary readout planned in early 2019, another key catalyst for the share price. Our valuation is marginally higher at €322m or €9.4/share (vs €315m or €9.2/share previously).
