Targovax - Steady progress across pipeline

Targovax delivered a steady stream of newsflow in 2018 from R&D projects in its pipeline, and from the recent KOL event in New York and capital markets day in Oslo. Highlights include the announcement of interim data from the Phase I trial with ONCOS-102 (an oncolytic virus) and Keytruda combination in melanoma, and the full dataset from the Phase I/IIa trial with TG01 (a neoepitope cancer vaccine) with gemcitabine combination in resected pancreatic cancer. Our valuation is marginally higher at NOK1.41bn or NOK26.8/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.
