Nordic Nanovector (No_rec, TP: NOK) - Discontinuing coverage

Nordic Nanovector has concluded its strategic review, and the outcome is a proposed merger with the unlisted Norwegian company APIM Therapeutics. Under the proposed terms of the merger, the owners of APIM Therapeutics are set to have c76% of the combined entity, while Nordic Nanovector’s owners would have c24%. An EGM has been scheduled for 1 December or thereabouts and, if approved, the transaction should close in late Q4. We have removed our recommendation and target price following the strate...

The decision to terminate the PARADIGME phase IIb trial in Q2 clearly has major repercussions for Nordic Nanovector given it was the most mature development project in its pipeline. Operations have already been drastically downsized, with c70% of personnel laid off. No new data or real explanation for the weak efficacy in the trial was given, and with limited value in the early-stage pipeline in our view, we value the company at its end-2022e cash position. We reiterate our HOLD and NOK1.6 targe...

Nordic Nanovector (Hold, TP: NOK1.60) - Terminating lead compound

On 21 June, when Nordic Nanovector first released the negative news about the PARADIGME trial, we placed our recommendation and target price under review. We have reinstated these, with a HOLD and a target price of NOK1.6, which would value the company at its year-end cash position. The interim analysis of the PARADIGME trial data showed significantly weaker efficacy than expected. The data was not strong enough to justify further development of the Betalutin product. We believe this puts the co...

Nordic Nanovector (No_rec, TP: NOK) - Weaker than expected data

Today the company announced that the independent expert panel had reported that efficacy from the PARADIGME trial was less promising than what had been seen before in the phase IIa trial LYMRIT 37-01. It is delaying the data read-out and the Q2 report, and is seeking regulatory feedback on how to progress. This is significantly negative news for the shares, and we have placed our recommendation (previously BUY) and target price (previously NOK21) under review.

Nordic Nanovector announced today that it has commissioned an Independent Data Evaluation of the PARADIGME trial. We believe this is a response to the slow rate of recruitment (it also announced that no new patients had been enrolled since the Q1 report). The company will, in addition, evaluate what can be done to increase the recruitment rate. Our take is that it needs to present some data from the trial to be able to refinance. The full data read-out will also most likely be delayed.

Nordic Nanovector (Buy, TP: NOK21.00) - Recruitment disappoints

Q1 saw weak recruitment, with only two new patients added to the PARADIGME trial. As of 12 May, the trial had 108 patients (of 120 needed), making it uncertain whether the company can deliver on its commitment of presenting top-line data by end-2022. We still believe the data, when it finally comes, will be positive, but the doubt over timing has led us to cut our target price to NOK21 (26). However, we reiterate our BUY.
