@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 ⬇️).
@AnEarlofWisdom#AVCT has been range-bound for 5 months now, since early April. It's now in the home straight. The final cohort that could complete as early as the first week of November, is now underway.
@avacta is a real anomaly on AIM. Many retail punters think it's vastly overvalued...

@AnEarlofWisdom@avacta ....at £300m. Their reference point is simply other AIM-listed biotechs with drugs in Phase 1 trials.
Holders, however, recognize that #AVCT is a whole different kettle of fish to anything else on AIM.
It's very shortly to prove whether its platform can go on to...

@AnEarlofWisdom@avacta ...revolutionise the $70bn pa chemotherapy market (and also expand it).
We holders thus think #AVCT is vastly UNDERvalued, and could be worth several £ billions in the next couple of years.

@AnEarlofWisdom@avacta So, to answer your question, shorts are playing with fire, spreading FUD and hoping that #AVCT does NOT go on to revolutionize chemotherapy.
[Imagine trying to make money like that...]
That's why the SP is not rocketing on the back of incredible news (x2) in the past week.

...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...

@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.
