Futura Medical is a small pharma with a novel proprietary transdermal delivery system, DermaSys, and a lead programme, MED3000, the first clinically proven topical gel to treat erectile dysfunction that is approved OTC (without a prescription) in the US and Europe.
An impressive stage has been set by Futura Medical for successful commercialisation of MED3000 (Eroxon in Europe), with consumer healthcare giant Haleon now secured as the ideal US commercial partner. Initial European launches via partner Cooper Consumer Health in the UK and Belgium have exceeded expectations, providing confidence in Eroxon’s potential, with the focus now on expansion of retailers, new launches, and repeat orders. Whilst there are no details on US launch timings, we believe preparations will take some time, and hence conservatively do not expect US launch until 2025. However, precise timings do not impact our overall investment case, with the sales potential for MED3000 more critical. The market for erectile dysfunction (ED) treatments remains significant, and as outlined by ED key opinion leaders, MED3000 is ideally placed to overcome the limitations of mainstay PDE5s. Our Futura Medical valuation is increased to £363m, equivalent to 121p per share.
