Oryzon Genomics - Ramping up R&D activity; catalysts in 2019

The €13m (gross) private placement announced on 30 October 2018 will support Oryzon’s expanding R&D programme with a total of five clinical trials now underway. Two new Phase IIa trials with iadademstat (formerly ORY-1001) are starting in acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) (ALICE trial) and small cell lung cancer (SCLC) (CLEPSIDRA trial). Results from another two Phase IIa studies with vafidemstat (formerly ORY-2001) in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients (ETHERAL) and multiple sclerosis (MS) patients (SATEEN) are due to report results in H219. Before that, interim results from the innovative design ‘basket trial’ with vafidemstat in aggression control in various neuropsychiatric conditions are due in H119. Our valuation is €342m or €8.7 per share (vs €328m or €9.6 per share).
