Japan licence deal highlights PM1183 potential

PharmaMar has capped off a strong performance in 2016 by signing a licence deal with Chugai for lurbinectedin (PM1183) in Japan, including €30m upfront and over €70m in potential milestones. The outlook for 2017 is similarly promising, including a potential EMA approval decision for Aplidin in multiple myeloma, Phase III data for lurbinectedin in ovarian cancer, and potential initiation of a pivotal trial of lurbinectedin in a third indication (BRCA-associated breast cancer). We have substantially revised our valuation assumptions, but the end result is that our valuation is little changed at €1.01bn (€4.55/share).
