Trinity Delta view: Scancell has four distinct technology platforms: two highly promising oncology vaccine platforms (Moditope and ImmunoBody), and two antibody technologies (GlyMab and AvidiMab). Investor attention remains, understandably, focused on the vaccine programmes, notably further data from the ongoing SCOPE trial (Cohort 1 data in H125 and Cohort 3 data in H225) following much anticipated recent positive response rate data from Cohort 1 (November 2024 Lighthouse). Nonetheless, licencing of the second GlyMab antibody provides endorsement of Scancell’s ability to generate commercially relevant therapeutics, deepens the relationship with antibody expert Genmab, and demonstrates the breadth of, and value inherent in, the GlyMab platform. In addition, the upfront payment, while not disclosed will provide immediate non-dilutive funding, with the potential for additional future near-to-mid-term milestones. Our current risk adjusted NPV valuation for Scancell is £311m, or 33p per share.
