Faron is a global, clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, focused on tackling cancers via novel immunotherapies. Its mission is to bring the promise of immunotherapy to a broader population by uncovering novel ways to control and harness the power of the immune system. The Company's lead asset is bexmarilimab, a novel anti-Clever-1 humanized antibody, with the potential to remove immunosuppression of cancers through reprogramming myeloid cell function. Bexmarilimab is being investigated in Phase I/II clinical trials as a potential therapy for patients with hematological cancers in combination with other standard treatments.

itus on antaa yrityksille mahdollisuus pysyä euroopassa. Onko 2,5 miljoonaa euroa syy lähteä euroopasta?"  If the goal is to stay, and the author asks if 2.5m is a reason to leave…  It means “Is 2.5m [so little that it provides] a reason to leave?”  Yes, “Is €2.5 million a reason to leave Europe?” is the most accurate translation of the words used. It implies the pittance is an

Indeed. It’s hard to tell from the short press release what form the funding will take. It does mention that the €10 billion foundation is based on a €3.5 billion debt financing pot from the European Investment Bank. If they continue on that path and Faron gets a slice of it, then more dilution is likely on the way. There’s a fair amount of politics involved here, as the Commission wants to keep promising biotechs away from the US capital markets. So, this is the EU’s response to Trump’s “America First” ideology, and when you consider that the Health Secretary there is a vaccine critic fond of conspiracy theories, you can understand the EU’s reaction. On this side of the Atlantic, they want to keep medical research as a protocol that strictly follows scientific rules. Perhaps there’s also an unspoken hope that some biotechs might even submit their first marketing authorization application to the EMA during the registration phase, so that Europe would be the first market for the new drug.

Well, then there’s still almost €10B left for others to share. I wouldn’t be on cloud nine just yet, but if one of the most promising biotechs only gets crumbs, then what will be left for the next 1,000 to share? The top ten should get enough per case to have an impact – right? And if impact is the goal, €10m for Faron only buys 3 more months… so no impact. Time will tell, but that “soon = 2026” is about 12 days away. Let’s hope for the best – although a pessimist won’t be disappointed by €2.5M

These EU-funded projects are running all the time. Faron received €2.5m for MATINS. There is no non-dilutive funding for an entire trial coming. It smells like Copium on the forum again.

It’s not quite clear from the EU’s announcement whether the intention is to provide funding directly to biotechs (and if so, is it low-cost debt financing or some other financing model)? Or are the billions being directed to European venture capital funds specializing in the biotech sector, which then pick promising biotechs for their portfolios. Regardless, it’s clear that Faron’s clinical evidence is of such a standard that, by all logic, funding should be obtainable from this pot. If the EU lends a helping hand, then the long-awaited partnership deal will likely be delayed until the stage where Bex has marketing authorization and the drug needs to be marketed and manufactured in large quantities.

Faron’s 4th largest shareholder is an entity called The European Innovation Council Equity Fund (EIC). Somehow Europe and the EU always let us down, but could there be real support for an important cause this time? Funding for small companies to the point where large European BPs can smoothly take over from there.

Well now. Would it be too much speculation if Faron had slowed down the closing of the deal a bit in pursuit of these subsidies? The way the FDA & US administration are treating Novo Nordisk now (blocking the acquisition and most recently the cat hair allegations related to a few drug batches) has hopefully also prompted the EU to act. Additionally, Trump’s threatened drug tariffs and forced price reductions (e.g., Pfizer) are clear signs that something needs to be done in Europe. If Faron is truly among the top 10 most promising biotechs in Europe (mentioned earlier in the thread), this means that support & funding are coming, if they’ve had the sense to apply for it. I’m left wondering when and how (at what stage) that could be announced to the stock exchange – if realized, a great pilot project whose impact would be, to put it mildly, “staggering”. GoFaronGO

Translation: Original comment published in Finnish on 7/19/2023 at 6:40 am. On Wednesday, Faron Pharmaceuticals <a href="https://www.inderes.se/releases/faron-pharmaceuticals-oy-bexmab-study-update-4">published</a> new positive results from the BEXMAB study to examine the efficacy of the company's precision immunotherapy treatment (bexmarilimab) for a number of malignant haematological tumors, or blood cancers. Faron also stated that they plan to file the first Biologics License Application (BLA) to FDA in H1’25. According to the company, the data received so far in the study supports moving to clinical Phase II. This move is already included in our modeling as a very likely scenario in our estimates. So there is no need for major estimate changes, but we will review our assumptions in connection with our Q2 pre-comment. Our latest update on Faron is available <a href="https://www.inderes.se/research/faron-pharmaceuticals-bexmab-studys-good-momentum-supports-valuation">here.</a>
