Hutchison China MediTech, a Hong Kong-based biopharmaceutical company, is on track to become a global leader in the discovery, development, and commercialisation of innovative, highly selective oral tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapies for oncology and immunological indications.
Hutchison China MediTech (Chi-Med) is one step closer to the commercialisation of its first wholly owned drug, surufatinib, in China. Early termination of the Phase III SANET-ep study in extra-pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (epNET) – as it had already met its primary endpoint of progression-free survival (PFS) at the planned interim analysis – brings forward the timing of potential first surufatinib approval by c 12 months. While full SANET-ep data will not be available until presentation at a future scientific conference, this result enables Chi-Med to seek a pre-NDA meeting with the China NMPA to discuss next steps in the regulatory process. Reviewing our surufatinib assumptions, we now assume a 2020 approval/launch in non-pancreatic NET. Our upgraded valuation is $5.14bn ($38.55/ADS) or £3.95bn (£5.93/share).
