Ultimovacs (ULTI) småprat 1

De hadde ~350 ved utgangen av Q3 og hentet 270 i emisjonen.

Ny artikkel:

Journalist Michael Bosved has written a very educational article for Prostatnytt (in Swedish), where Sara Mangsbo talks about T-cells, telomerase, UV1, and the encouraging development in therapeutic cancer vaccines:

“Nytt allmänt cancervaccin kan finnas tillgängligt om ett par år”

Ca 600m kr burde være mer enn nok runway til å sluttføre gående fase 2 studier, TET og evt annet som ligger fremfor hvis de må kjøre på videre alene. Dette er i grunn nok så lenge de ikke planlegger å lage en covid vaksine :upside_down_face:

Ja, det er ingen grunn til å være bekymret for cashbeholdningen til Ultimovacs :slightly_smiling_face:

Faktisk så tror jeg kjøpene som gjøres fra nå og ut i januar kan vise seg å bli veldig pene å se tilbake på.

Denne studien blir spennende å følge readout på. En fase 3-studie med Roche sin TIGIT-hemmer og Roche sin PD-L1-hemmer Tecentriq i lungekreftpasienter (NSCLC) med høyt uttrykk av PD-L1. Dette er samme pasienter som LUNGVAV hvor UV1 kombineres med Pembrolizumab (Keytruda) som skal gå i Norge.

Kombinasjonen av aTIGIT og aPD-L1 har akkurat vist lovende resultater i PD-L1 >50%-pasienter i NSCLC i en randomisert fase 2.

Link til fase 3-studien

Det gir jo også en god grunn til at Ultimovacs gjør sin studie kun i Norge. Her vil i hvertfall ikke denne kombinasjonen bli godkjent som standardbehandling før LUNGVAC er ferdig rekruttert.

Som Ultimovacsaksjonær ønsker vi gode readouts av denne type studier, for rasjonalet for å kombinere UV1 med disse kombinasjonene av sjekkpunkthemmere er klokkeklart.

They didn’t see any differences in survival between men and women treated with a single checkpoint inhibitor. However, Dr. Lu-Yao and her team did find that the risk of death was 2.06 times higher for women than it was for men given a combination of the checkpoint inhibitors nivolumab plus ipilimumab.

The baseline rate of death for both men and women taking PD-1 inhibitors was 40%. For those on combination anti-PD1 and anti-CTLA-4 therapy, that rate continued to be 40% for men, but jumped to 65% for women.

Edit
Dette er da altså i indikasjonen INITIUM går i. Aldri hørt om dette fenomenet før.

Interessant, var heller ikke klar over dette. Viser tydelig verdien av real world forskning.

Det mest nærliggende å tenke er at kvinner ikke får tilbudt avansert behandling like tidlig som menn. Fra andre terapiområdet har det vært vist at kvinner ikke like raskt for ny effektiv behandling som menn og er ikke like representert i kliniske studier som menn. Når det er sagt så er det tydelig også forskjeller i biologien mellom kjønnene også som kan forklare dette.

Valuation update

Our updated valuation is NOK6.13bn or NOK179 per share (NOK4.08bn or NOK128 per share previously). Our valuation is based on risk-adjusted NPV analysis using a 12.5% discount rate, including estimated net cash of NOK618m (cash on balance sheet at end-Q321 plus share issue). Our model now includes five rNPV projects, which all are based on a similar bottom-up approach (more details in our initiation report).

Entering an active newsflow period

These findings and previously reported follow up data from the Phase I trial were a significant driver behind the share price rally in H221. The final readout (after 24 months of follow up) from the second cohort is expected in 2022. This will set expectations for Ultimovacs’ Phase II trial INITIUM, where melanoma patients in the active arm are treated with triple combination UV1 plus nivolumab plus ipilimumab. Readouts are expected every year over the next several years from all Phase II trials, so Ultimovacs is entering an active newsflow period.

Er det noen store som selger for tiden eller det retail som har fått hetta?

Top 50 gjør i prinsippet ingen ting. De 50 sitter med rundt regnet 80% av alle aksjene

Den Edison analysen er virkelig en god nyhet! “We note that Ultimovacs recently received a fast-track designation for UV1 in combination with checkpoint inhibitors (CPIs) in advanced melanoma, as well as orphan drug designation for the treatment of stage IIB–IV melanoma, both from the FDA.”

De øker altså kursmålet fra 128 til 179 - det er en seriøs økning. Den siste tids fall tror jeg vil vise seg å bli en kjøpsmulighet - og det er mye mulig at det vil bli noen måneders forsinkning på studiene. Da er det jammen bra at Ultimo har trackrecord på å klare å rekruttere også i covid-tider OG at de har gjennomført en emisjon.

Jeg sitter trygt med mine aksjer - og vil heller vurdere å øke beholdningen noe enn å minske den

Noe rask fra emisjonen som er tilnærmet tomme, og utover det så er det retail som gir litt volatilitet begge veier. Les: ingen meningsfulle endringer.

Den opprinnelig analysen fra Edison er den beste som foreligger på caset. De som har interesse av eksponering utover noen uker bør ta en titt

Jeg er så positiv på vegne av 2022 for Ultimovacs at jeg bare gleder meg til den kortsiktige trendene snur oppover og slår følge med den langsiktige.

Dette er altså månedschartet over aksjen, og den viser èn ting med stor sannsynlighet:

Hvis Ultimovacs fortsetter å levere på innrullering og resten av utviklingen går on track så vil denne sannsynligvis bare fortsette fram mot readout av INITIUM - som vi forventer om kun 12-18 måneder.

I mine øyne så er kjøpsanledningen sannsynligvis fra nå, med en del usikkerhet om når det beste tidspunktet kommer. Alle seriøse biotekinvestorer i Norge og på Tekinvestor burde gjøre seg noen tanker om dette er noe de ønsker å være med på.

Det neste året vil det blir flere mediaoppslag, mer data, ferdigstilling av innrullering til hovedstudien og andre verdifulle meldinger. Sjansen er relativt stor for at den gode utviklingen ikke bare stopper nå.

Kurtsmål som settes nå er vel ikke basert på om de lykkes? Kursen burde vel kunne gå langt over 170kr om de får ett produkt på markedet

Definitivt langt langt over. Ved profylaktisk effekt/behandling så er det tegneserieretall a.k.a “tenk på et tall”.

Kursen er mangedoblet dersom hovedstudien INITIUM viser gode data om ~12-18 måneder. Det vil si lenge før UV1 er på markedet. Og dette er før man tar inn TET og den profylaktiske tilnærmingen (UV2).

ja men om vi leker med f.eks 1000kr så mener jeg kursmålene som blir satt er veldig lav i forhold til de verdiene som kan komme. Risk / award spiller jo selvklart inn men med tanke på alt de har klart til nå mener jeg risk/award burde være høyere og kursmål deretter

Jeg er spent på hvem som er mest verd av Nykode og Ulti om 2 år🤔

Det kan du si, og jeg er ikke uenig. Analytikerne hensyntar ikke UV1 sitt universelle rasjonale i sine modeller. Samtidig er det forståelig da ingen ønsker å være først ut med Donald Duck tall. Men de kommer, noen må til slutt kaste første sten. For vår del som aksjonærer spiller det ikke så stor rolle om kursmålene er ~200 eller 2000 nå. At selskapet går under radaren til mange er på mange måter en gavepakke om vi skulle være så heldige at UV1 faktisk virker slik alle signalene hittil tilsier.

Edit:

2 cool 4 børsmelding.

First Patient Enrolled in Phase II DOVACC trial of UV1 in Advanced Ovarian Cancer

  • Study assesses impact of UV1 in ovarian cancer maintenance care
    • Addresses unmet medical need among BRCA-negative ovarian cancer patients
    • Enrollment of 184 patients to be coordinated through NSGO-CTU and ENGOT

Oslo, 15 December 2021: Ultimovacs ASA (“Ultimovacs”) (OSE ULTI), a clinical
stage leader in immune stimulatory vaccines for cancer, announced today that the
first patient has been enrolled in the DOVACC (Durvalumab Olaparib VACCine)
study, a randomized Phase II clinical trial assessing the impact of the
Company’s telomerase vaccine, UV1, on the standard of maintenance care in
ovarian cancer.

DOVACC (NCT04742075) is organized with two influential European networks of
gynaecological oncologists; the Nordic Society of Gynaecological Oncology
Clinical Trial Unit (NSGO-CTU) - the study sponsor - and the broader European
Network of Gynaecological Oncological Trial Groups (ENGOT). With Ultimovacs and
AstraZeneca as industry participants, DOVACC will assess whether UV1 enhances
progression-free survival in BRCA-negative (BRCA wild type) advanced ovarian
cancer in combination with two AstraZeneca drugs, durvalumab and olaparib.
Topline data from DOVACC is expected in 2023.

PARP inhibitors such as olaparib are highly effective as maintenance care in
BRCA-mutated ovarian cancer. However, among BRCA-negative patients - who
represent the majority of ovarian cancer patients - there remains a specific
unmet medical need that may be satisfied by the addition of other agents to PARP
monotherapy.

DOVACC will recruit 184 patients across Europe from a network of more than 40
hospitals in around ten European countries coordinated through NSGO-CTU and
ENGOT. Innovation Norway has granted Ultimovacs NOK 10 million (approximately
$1.2 million) to support the execution of the Phase II DOVACC study.

“The start of recruitment in DOVACC represents another milestone in the
expanding clinical program of our lead cancer vaccine UV1,” said Jens Bjørheim,
Chief Medical Officer at Ultimovacs. “Working with leading specialized groups
around Europe who participate in NSGO-CTU and ENGOT, puts UV1 in the hands of
the oncologists who help shape the standard of care in ovarian cancer.”

DOVACC is one of five randomized Phase II clinical trials of Ultimovacs’
telomerase vaccine UV1 in combination with other immunotherapies. The primary
outcome measure for DOVACC is progression-free survival for the UV1-durvalumab-
olaparib triple combination versus olaparib alone.

“The purpose of both NSGO-CTU and ENGOT is to improve treatment options in
gynaecological cancer indications by developing and conducting clinical trials
with novel agents and novel modalities, bringing these new options to the
European community,” commented Dr. Mansoor Raza Mirza, Medical Director of the
NSGO-CTU and Chair of ENGOT. “The DOVACC study does exactly that by bringing
together clinical and commercial organizations in pursuit of a shared goal, in
this case extending the effectiveness of maintenance care for ovarian cancer.”

About UV1
UV1 is a peptide-based vaccine inducing a specific T cell response against the
universal cancer antigen telomerase. It is being developed as an “off-the-shelf”
therapeutic cancer vaccine for use in combination with other immunotherapies
that require an ongoing T cell response for their mode of action. In four Phase
I trials involving 82 patients, UV1 has maintained a positive safety and
tolerability profile and has demonstrated encouraging signals of efficacy. UV1
is being investigated in combination with checkpoint inhibitors in Phase II
trials covering advanced malignant melanoma, ovarian cancer, head and neck
squamous cell carcinoma, malignant pleural mesothelioma, and non-small cell lung
cancer (NSCLC). In total, the five Phase II trials will enroll more than 650
patients at nearly 100 clinical centers across 15 countries.

In 2021, the U.S. FDA granted Fast Track designation to UV1 as add-on therapy to
ipilimumab or to pembrolizumab for the treatment of unresectable or metastatic
melanoma, as well as Orphan Drug designation to UV1 for the treatment of stage
IIB - IV melanoma.

About DOVACC
DOVACC (Durvalumab Olaparib VACCine; also formally designated as ENGOT-
OV56/NSGO-CTU-DOVACC) is a multi-center, multinational, randomized Phase II
clinical collaboration trial with the Nordic Society of Gynaecological Oncology

  • Clinical Trial Unit (NSGO-CTU), the European Network of Gynaecological
    Oncological Trial Groups (ENGOT) and AstraZeneca. The trial is sponsored by the
    NSGO, the leading gynaecological oncology research society in the Nordic and
    Baltic regions. The trial is designed to evaluate Ultimovacs’ proprietary UV1
    cancer vaccine in combination with AstraZeneca’s durvalumab, a PD-L1 checkpoint
    inhibitor and its PARP inhibitor, olaparib, the maintenance therapy for advanced
    ovarian cancer. The study includes three arms treating a total of 184 patients
    randomized 1-to-1-to-2 to receive the PARP inhibitor olaparib, olaparib and the
    checkpoint inhibitor durvalumab, or Ultimovacs’ UV1 vaccine in combination with
    both AstraZeneca drugs. The primary endpoint is progression-free survival (PFS)
    in the treatment arm with PARP inhibitor olaparib monotherapy, versus PFS in the
    triple combination treatment arm.

About NSGO-CTU
The Nordic Society of Gynaecological Oncology - Clinical Trial Unit (NSGO-CTU)
is a non-profit organization aiming to improve the practice of prevention,
diagnosis and treatment for gynaecological cancers by supporting research and
conducting clinical trials across countries.

About ENGOT
The European Network for Gynaecological Oncological Trial groups is a research
network of the European Society of Gynaecological Oncology and was founded in
Berlin in October 2007. Currently, ENGOT consists of 19 trial groups from 15
European countries that perform cooperative clinical trials. ENGOT’s ultimate
goal is to bring the best treatment to gynecological cancer patients through the
best science, and enabling every patient in every European country to access a
clinical trial.

About Ultimovacs
Ultimovacs is developing immune-stimulatory vaccines to treat a broad range of
cancers. Ultimovacs’ lead universal cancer vaccine candidate UV1 targets human
telomerase (hTERT), present in 85-90% of cancers in all stages of tumor growth.
By directing the immune system to hTERT antigens, UV1 drives CD4 helper T cells
to the tumor to activate an immune system cascade and increase anti-tumor
responses. With a broad Phase II program, Ultimovacs aims to clinically
demonstrate UV1’s impact in multiple cancer types in combination with other
immunotherapies. Ultimovacs’ second technology approach, based on the
proprietary Tetanus-Epitope-Targeting (TET) platform, combines tumor-specific
peptides and adjuvant in the same molecule and entered Phase I studies in 2021.
