Advancing into commercial phase, Immunovia has achieved a strong launch of its first product IMMray PanCan-d which was shortly followed by backing of the largest US patient organization Pancreatic Cancer Action Network (PanCAN) and the US National Pancreas Foundation (NPF).
Such support provides real-world commercial third-party validation and should reinforce the capital market’s confidence in the test’s performance and clinical utility offer.
Commissioned research: SciBase
SciBase is delivering as we expected, and the share price is closing in on our target price. Recent news flow confirms the Nevisense EIS-technology’s potential for skin barrier assessment applications – an upside to both our and the market’s valuation of the company.
The apparent tangible driver of the share price for the coming 12 months, however, is unlocking US reimbursement (Medicare) where the US company DermTech offers a clear blueprint.

It may seem trivial to point out by now, but an accurate distinction between surveillance and screening is important in order to properly understand IMMray PanCan-d’s intended use, clinical utility offer and the parameters of importance to access the viability of the test to be included in guidelines and gaining broad reimbursement.
We still see confusion here.

We believe SciBase has built the necessary enablers to accelerate its topline growth and embark on a positive trajectory in the same direction as local peers such as Senzime and Redsense Medical. With a market value of SEK 200m in contrast to Senzime’s and Redsense Medical’s values of approximately SEK 1.3bn and SEK 660m, respectively, there are clearly numerous essentials with deep value in SciBase’s case that are being overlooked.
We initiate coverage with an Outperform rating and a target price of SEK 7.5, corresponding to an equity value of SEK 413m non diluted.

Our jaws drop to the floor when we see the market selling Immunovia on the back of a press release that essentially confirmed the technical performance of IMMray PanCan-d, once again corroborating the robustness of the IMMray platform technology.
As expected, the verification study demonstrated outstanding diagnostic accuracy in line with the previous commercial test model study.
Commissioned research: Diamyd Medical
As of September 15th, 2020, the company that was founded in 1984 delivered convincing top-line data – in line with medical consensus view of implementing precision medicine – consistently supporting positive effect of the first-in-class disease-modifying diabetes vaccine Diamyd® in a genetically defined group.
We initiate coverage with an Outperform rating. With a 50% LOA for the lead candidate Diamyd® and 18% LOA for Remygen® our risk-adjusted DCF valuation results in a value for Diamyd Medical of SEK 100 per share, corresponding to an equity value of approximately SEK 6.6 bn non diluted.

In our latest research update on Immunovia, we presented our forecast of a future diagnostic regimen including a combination of proteomics and genomics-based techs to generate timely and correct diagnosis of cancer.
Published in the impactful Nature Communication Biology, Immunovia’s research arm and collaborator CREATE Health demonstrates the powerful combination of the two techs in its novel academic research project, the ProMIS platform.
Commissioned research: AlzeCure Pharma
AlzeCure has with its seven-project portfolio multiple shots at goal where each, while early stage, represents a potential multibillion-dollar opportunity.
We update our rating to Outperform and raise the target price to SEK 16 per share, corresponding to an equity value of approximately SEK 600m non-diluted, derived from risk-adjusted DCF valuation of ACD856 and ACD440.
