Combinations define strategy

Transgene has further expanded on its new strategy announced in January 2016 and clarified timelines for combination trials of its product candidates with immune checkpoint inhibitors. Six clinical trials are due to start before 2017 year end; its lead product candidates, Pexa-Vec (oncolytic virus) and TG4010 (therapeutic vaccine) in combination with Yervoy and Opdivo respectively should start phase II trials by year end. Restructuring in 2015 has significantly reduced costs and it is now financed through major inflection points in 2017. HY16 net cash of €33.4m includes short-term financial assets. We value Transgene at €4.40/share (€169.5m).
