Shield Therapeutics - 2019 a landmark year
Today’s 2019 business and trading update highlights a landmark year for Shield Therapeutics. Feraccru/Accrufer (oral ferric maltol) is making inroads in Europe, with sales volumes growing 67% through commercialisation partner, Norgine. Importantly, the AEGIS head-to-head study proved Feraccru/Accrufer to be non-inferior to IV iron therapy, a strong marketing tool for an oral treatment. In July 2019, the FDA approved the product for the treatment of iron deficiency in patients with any underlying cause – the broadest possible label. Momentum has continued into 2020 with an out-licensing deal with China-based Beijing Aosaikang Pharmaceutical (ASK Pharm) that covers China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan. The next key inflection point is a US partnering deal, which we assume will occur in the next 12 months. We value Shield at £345m.Shield Therapeutics is a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of late stage, hospital-focused pharmaceuticals which address areas of high unmet medical need.
