Targovax - Growing list of collaborations and more data in H2

An update from Targovax’s Phase I/II study in unresectable mesothelioma with OCOS-102 was the highlight of Q220 (described in our last note). Median over survival (OS) data are still not mature and the next update in expected by year-end. Another catalyst expected this year is the results of Part 2 from the Phase I melanoma trial in H220. The trial aims to show ONCOS-102 can activate the immune response in anti-PD1 refractory patients. Following the cost-reduction programme implemented in 2019, Targovax is now sharply focused on its oncolytic virus platform. However, after signing a string of new collaborations, the company is now involved in multiple projects, which significantly increase profit opportunities. Our valuation is unchanged at NOK1.65bn or NOK21.6/share.
Underlying
Targovax AS

Targovax ASA is a Norway-based company active within the healthcare sector. The Company is developing two complementary and targeted approaches in immuno-oncology: a peptide-based immunotherapy platform for patients with RAS-mutated cancers and a virus-based immunotherapy platform based on engineered oncolytic viruses armed with potent immune-stimulating transgenes for patients with solid tumors. The Company's candidate, TG01, is a peptide vaccine that targets mutations in the RAS genes that are associated with cancer, and it is in a phase II clinical trial in pancreatic cancer. The Company's other RAS targeting immunotherapy, TG02 is developed for colorectal cancer treatment. The Company's adenoviral candidate, ONCOS-102 is developed for the treatment of solid tumors, such as melanoma as well as ovarian and prostate cancer.
