@RAH00084 Agreed. Same reason why remaining two UK hospitals have not yet (formally) come online.
Also, it's worth noting:
Theoretically, were patients 2 and 3 of Cohort 3 dosed as soon as was technically permitted by the SDMC (21 days after P1's first dose) - and at the...

I think we should reasonably expect slippages (as C1 and C2 have proved) - but in BEST...

@RAH00084 ...case, #AVCT could technically have all the data it requires to announce P1a results within two weeks.
I don't think many appreciate how close we are to (what hopefully is!!!) company-defining data.
Fingers crossed - but I'm as confident as ever in groundbreaking data.

...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.

@MkangoResources is due to complete its bankable feasibility studies for each of its rare earths mine in Malawi (Songwe Hill), and its separation plant in Poland, by the end of next month.
Details have been scarce, but #MKA has indicated the intended output of the...

Presumably with a little guidance from #MKA mgmt, @MkangoResources' broker provided some very basic headline numbers of how the integrated operations...

@PetraDiamondsIR#PDL is now at 96p / £186m and threatening to break out. It's in touching distance of the post-restructuring, intra-day high of 97.5p, with blue skies above.
Interim results are due out next Wednesday.
A basic summary of the investment case ⬇️
1/25
#PDL is a diamond miner, with interests in 4 mines:
3 underground mines in South Africa (all 74% owned), namely: Cullinan, Finsch, and Koffiefontein;
1 open pit mine (75% owned) in Tanzania, named Williamson.
The mines were all acquired from @DeBeers between 2007-11.
2/25
The mines had all suffered from underinvestment when owned by @DeBeers. As such, between 2006 and 2019, #PDL invested approximately $1.6bn in improving the operational efficiencies of the mines and in extending their lives.
The contrasting opinions on @avacta's valuation on FinTwit is fascinating.
Those who think #AVCT is overvalued, just can't seem to get their heads around the possibility that a £250m British biotech could be on the cusp of revolutionizing cancer treatment.
