Added just shy of 2m shares to #N4P the past two days, the majority of it in the placing.
Needless to say, not a great price - but we look forward.
Co is now fully funded until well into 2022. By then, it should have secured multiple licensing deals for its Nuvec platform. 1/4
#N4P has an exceptionally low cost base, and a disruptive product - targeting multiple multi-billion $ markets - that could be ready for commercialisation potentially by year end. Thereafter, R&D costs should be negligible (at least for Nuvec) and #N4P could rapidly build... 2/4
...out a passive royalties business. Funds could then be distributed via divis, as well as used to fund new asset development.
The reason for its current ~£4.5m enterprise value is the multiple operational delays (and 1 standout failure) it has experienced since it floated. 3/4
Additionally, there of course remains not insignificant risk in successfully commercialisating Nuvec from this point.
However, given that #N4P is now fully funded to achieve this, in my view the risk/reward is skewed substantially to the upside at the current SP of 4.8p. 4/4

There are many stale holders who have been underwater for 18+ months, who will be happy to take some cash out now, in this ongoing cost of living crisis. That is understandable.
There will also be traders exiting, having positioned for this update.

...wider investment community has not yet heard of, and even more so not appreciated the significance of, today's news at #AVCT.
Finally, I will state with a high degree of confidence that today's RNS opens the floodgates for numerous more updates in the near future.
Volume returning really nicely to the small cap space, which is creating excellent trading conditions.
My average holding period in the Short-term Trading Portfolio is still around 16 sessions / 3 weeks.
Seemingly contrary to many, I consider trade entries based both on..

@AnEarlofWisdom Hi Earl, I can't see any of the posts, as I'm blocked by those accounts (or I've blocked!), but I've been told there's a lot of scaremongering about various things:
1) Delay in trial; 2) Dox not activating much in TME; 3) Low cash balance, and thus possible placing coming.

@AnEarlofWisdom On the contrary, except for Cohorts 1 and 2 taking longer than expected (due to patient withdrawals - nothing whatsoever to do with #AVA6000 itself), #AVCT's progress in 2022 could not be stronger.
The DE to 200mg/m2 was the ultimate target, so that nullifies point 2) ⬆️.

@AnEarlofWisdom Licensing deals for targeted oncology drugs - even those at pre-clinical stage, like 3996 - have been monstrous in recent times (e.g. $100m cash upfront for an antibody-drug conjugate, just last month ⬇️).
...substrate to FAP is so high that the concentration ratio of active doxorubicin in the tumour : healthy tissue, will negate the requirement for increase in dose size. [My view!]
Enough dox is already becoming active in the tumour micro-environment, at the current...

$SGEN specializes in antibody-drug conjugates ('ADC') - a relatively novel form of targeted cancer treatment.
@avacta's targeted cancer treatment platform, preCISION, has the real potential of generating pro-chemotherapies that are MORE targeted than ADCs, and thus...

...also potentially capable of delivering a more potent drug payload.
#AVCT will be announcing the results of the first preCISION prodrug P1 trial (AVA6000) in the next few months.
Success will mean the platform could be used to modify many other existing chemotherapies.
