MaaT Pharma FIRST LOOK: MaaT033 slows disease progression in phase 1 ALS trial

MaaT reported additional results from the exploratory single arm phase 1b trial of MaaT033 in ALS, and we view the slower disease progression observed with MaaT033 as encouraging, though we also note the small patient numbers and single arm nature of the trial. ALS is a difficult condition, where many drugs have failed to show slowing of disease progression. As such, MaaT033's early results are promising, and the company is seeking partners focussed on ALS to progress this program. We reiterate our € 17 TP and Buy rating.
