Edison issues update on Targovax (TRVX)

On 22 June 2020 Targovax reported data from its Phase I/II study in unresectable mesothelioma (a follow up to the first data published in January 2020). There were no new safety issues and the efficacy signals seen in the first set of data were confirmed. Importantly, the immune and gene sequencing data provided strong support for ONCOS-102's ability to activate the immune system and remodel the tumour microenvironment. Targovax reiterated its plans to explore ONCOS-102 in triple combination with a checkpoint inhibitor (CPI) and standard chemotherapy in first line. These plans are still at a preliminary stage, but there is potential for the study to become a registrational programme due to a high unmet need in mesothelioma. We increase the probability of success for ONCOS-102 and our updated valuation is NOK1.64bn or NOK21.6/share.

 

Our valuation has increased to NOK1.64bn or NOK21.6/share from NOK1.52bn or NOK20.0/share after increasing the success probability in our mesothelioma project to 25% from 20% and rolling the model forward. An update on the upcoming Phase I melanoma trial is the key potential catalyst this year.

Circio Holding (No_rec, TP: NOK) - circVec circular RNA technology

Yesterday, Circio Holding presented the circVec platform and its potential at two international industry conferences. We continue to like the focus on the circRNA programme, but the company is still in an early stage and the funding situation remains unclear to us.

Circio Holding (No_rec, TP: NOK) - Development continues, financing un...

We continue to believe Circio’s technology has significant potential and that the company will successfully secure a partnering deal. However, while we estimate it has secured a runway through H1 2025, the funding situation remains unclear to us, and we thus continue to have no recommendation or target price on Circio.

We continue to like Circio’s focus on the circRNA programme and believe it will be able to secure a partnering deal in 2025. However, the funding situation is unclear. It recently announced an intention to raise cNOK50m–60m in Q2. As we have limited input on the terms of the upcoming capital raise and Atlas Capital Markets’ (the counterparty of the convertible bond facility announced in February 2023) degree of participation and conditions, we have withdrawn our target price and recommendation.
