Futura Medical is a R&D-driven small pharma with a novel proprietary transdermal delivery system, DermaSys, and a lead programme, MED2005, in Phase III development for erectile dysfunction.
Futura Medical is rapidly approaching a major inflection point as the results of a pivotal Phase III study (FM57) for its lead compound, MED2005, are due to read out in December. MED2005 is a fast-acting glyceryl trinitrate gel that addresses erectile dysfunction (ED). The FM57 data is expected to be positive and will influence the design of the remaining Phase III trial (FM59) required for US approval (and possibly Europe too). This data will also fuel licensing discussions with potential partners. The commercial opportunity in ED is sizeable, although addressing the various elements of the market segments and different geographies optimally will, in our view, be critical. Our DCF-based model employs conservative assumptions and currently values Futura Medical at £127m, equivalent to 62p a share.
