Spennende tider, nĂ„r âaltâ gĂ„r opp og PHO virker som âfeilâ valg. Jeg lurer pĂ„ hvorfor DS gir sĂ„ lite opmerksomheten til Asieris og muligens positive konsekvenser. Med dagens aksjepris er en positivt utfall mht Asieris ifĂžlge meg ikke priset i det hele tatt.

In July, Photocure announced that it has entered into a License Agreement
providing Asieris Meditech Co., Ltd (Asieris) with a world-wide license to
develop and commercialize CeviraÂź for the treatment of HPV induced cervical
precancerous lesions.
Asieris plans to launch a global clinical development program with an initial
focus on the China market based on Photocureâs Phase 2b data and the Phase 3
study design elements agreed with the US FDA. The development for the US and EU
markets will follow when clinical data from the China focused Phase 3 study
confirms the safety and efficacy, estimated to be finished in 2022. Asieris will
assume responsibility for the manufacture of the CeviraÂź product while Photocure
retains responsibility for the manufacture of the active pharmaceutical
ingredient.
Under the License Agreement, Photocure will receive a total signing fee of USD 5
million within 6 months after signing. In addition, the company may receive a
total of USD 18 million based upon achievement of certain clinical and
regulatory milestones in China and up to USD 36 million for certain clinical and
regulatory milestones in USA and EU. Approval of a second indication in China,
the US and the EU would result in payments of up to USD 14 million.
Additionally, sales milestones and royalties of 10% to 20% will apply in all
markets.
âAfter the closing of the quarter, we were pleased to announce a License
Agreement with Asieris. Under the agreement, Photocure will receive signing
fees, and potentially development and approval milestones and sales milestones
in total up to USD 250 million, in addition to sales royalties. Aseris will have
the world-wide license to develop and commercialize Cevira for the treatment of
HPV induced cervical precancerous lesions. The agreement with Asieris provides a
global roadmap for the development and commercialization of Cevira. The Cevira
deal is in line with our strategy of divesting products that do not fit our
therapeutic focus. We will continue to maximize the return on our commercial
investment in Hexvix/Cysview by executing our plans in the largely untapped U.S.
market where we expect to see our greatest returns in the form of significant
and sustainable revenue and profitability growth,â Schneider concludes.
