Nordic Nanovector reported Q3 results on 23
November. The report per se was a non-event but we have become more confident that the Betalutin® drug has a good chance of reaching the market and ultimately achieving our sales forecasts. We have increased the LOA from 30% to 40% and as a result,
have lifted our target price to NOK121 (NOK80). We reiterate our BUY recommendation.
Q3 report a non-event as expected. Nordic Nanovector reported Q3 results on 23
November. The operating loss for the quarter was cNOK51m compared to our
estimate of a loss of cNOK56m. The cash on hand at the end of the quarter totalled
cNOK560m compared to our estimate of cNOK565m. The company had some FX
movements in cash held in currencies other than NOK that affected the cash balance.
The cash position should take the company to the first regulatory submission of
Betalutin® which is current set for H1 2019.
SRC more aggressive on dose than we initially expected. Since our last update,
the Safety Review Committee (SRC) has come back to the company and
recommended a dose increase to 20MBq/kg with a pre-dosing of cold antibody of
100mg/m2. Furthermore, the SRC also recommended the company increase the dose
in Arm1 (the phase II part of the phase I/II trial) to the same dose and the same predosing. This suggests to us that the safety profile of the increased pre-dosing is even better than we initially expected.
Increasing LOA following the final SRC dose recommendations. As a result of the
SRC recommendations, we have increased the LOA to 40% (from 30%) in our valuation model. This increase in LOA implicitly assumes the company will be able to
file and get Betalutin® approved on the phase II data (making the phase II trial more or less equivalent – from a registration perspective – of a phase III trial).
We keep our BUY rating but have raised our target price to NOK121 (NOK80). As
a result of the increase in LOA, our projection of the underlying fair value of the company has increased to cNOK121 (from cNOK80). This is also our new target price
for the shares. We reiterate our BUY recommendation. Apart from the LOA change,
we have made only minor adjustments to our forecasts for Nordic Nanovector
