On track to file in US and Japan by mid-2018

Paion has successfully accelerated recruitment in the confirmatory pivotal bronchoscopy study of its ultra-fast-acting sedative remimazolam in procedural sedation and has raised funds to support filing for general anaesthesia (GA) in Japan, putting it on track to file for approval in both the US (via partner Cosmo Pharmaceuticals) and Japan by mid-2018. It has also outlined a programme that could see it restart Phase III studies in GA in Europe (estimated cost €20-25m). Paion has sufficient cash to fund operations beyond end 2018 but would need additional funds to restart the Europe development programme (potentially from Cosmo milestones and a licence deal in Japan). We lift our valuation slightly to €214m (vs €208m).
