Head of Nordic ER Development, Analyst

Antti Luiro

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.

I was looking at Medsir’s history, and they have conducted over 48 trials and recruited more than 2,310 patients. Now, the estimated recruitment for the STS trial is 278 patients. In this sense, BEXAR is a really big study, even for Medsir, and it demonstrates their confidence as a for-profit company in the power of Bex and also in Faron.

Without knowing anything about the actual contract terms, I’d wager that royalties will be shared in some proportion with Faron, provided they reach the finish line.

If I’ve understood correctly, biotech companies fund Medsir. Whether Faron has funded them, I don’t know.

Medsir is a for-profit company that doesn’t fund research as charity. At this point, I’m personally interested in whether Faron has relinquished/licensed its commercial rights regarding these cancer types.

It would probably be expensive if it were done commercially in the US. IITs are cheaper. And Europe is cheaper. Plus, it’s academic in its origins; Barcelona provides the facilities and patients. I don’t know how the costs are shared or where MEDSIR ultimately gets the funding for its operations, which likely covers CRO activities, data management, regulatory affairs, researchers’ publication work, and so on. On the other hand, with that many Phase 2 patients, it might be a good idea to expand beyond Vall d’Hebron. No locations were listed on clinicaltrials yet.

This is indeed a massive study and shows that Medsir at least trusts Bex and Faron even if our naysayers don’t. Wouldn’t a study of this scale already cost somewhere in the region of €50M+? Well, our naysayers undeniably have better knowledge than the leading researchers in the field, that’s for sure. Once this reaches the finish line, it’ll likely be fairly easy to find a partner for phase three, and the FDA probably won’t have any nitpicking to do regarding the final drug dosage for Bex based on the research.

I agree with this, and they could have sought, for example, €80M for a maximum of 100M shares, so the share price would probably have settled somewhere around €0.8. Then, if it hadn’t been fully successful, surely at least half would have been raised regardless. Or maybe getting financing here in this backwater stock exchange would have been too difficult.

<p>Faron again published positive results of the BEXMAB study that focuses on blood cancers. The company seems to have preliminary efficacy proof already in the phase I/II study, which we believe supports the probabilities of the study path being successful. With the positive estimate changes justified by the results we feel that the valuation picture of the share is slightly more neutral, but still not sufficiently attractive in terms of the risk/return ratio. </p>
