Prescient Therapeutics: Investor Briefing with CEO James McDonnell
CEO, James McDonnell, held an investor briefing with Reach Markets, off the back of their recent 4C announcement.
In this session, James discussed:
- The Dose Optimisation Committee meeting in December, a key catalyst for a potential accelerated commercial pathway for PTX-100.
- The types of deals being done in the sector and what they mean for Prescient, including comments around active discussions with large and mid-tier pharmaceutical companies.
- Key upcoming milestones for PTX-100, one of the most advanced therapies on the ASX1 and well funded for the next stage of development.
PTX-100 is at an advanced stage in clinical trials and at the point where large pharmaceutical companies may begin to take a serious interest in de-risked assets like this. We have an opportunity to potentially become one of Australia’s biotech success stories.
