The crux: if the trial replicates the data of the animal models, #AVCT could be sitting on the most targeted oncology platform in the world.

#AVCT's preCISION prodrugs are intended to target "FAP-high" solid tumors.
Solid tumours comprise ~90% of cancer cases - and most solid tumours are FAP-high.

$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...

#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.

@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.
For each of its past two FYs, #APTA has generated no more than £1m in revenue.
The Affimer platform is a next generation antibody mimetic platform. It was "engineered to overcome many of the problems associated with aptamers or with antibodies". ⬇️
To my knowledge, #APTA (or its partners) has not put in place manufacturing capacity of 30+ million per month to sell propreitary, Aptamer-based SARS-CoV-2 LFTs.
