RE:New Questions
RE:New Questions"Did the Janssen agreement expire on January 31, 2023, as called for in their agreement with Bioasis? Note that the expiration, January 31, is convenient in that the date is a day or two after Bioasis released their Q3 filings, meaning that shareholders then wouldn’t know anything about it before the February AGM and until the annual report comes out at the end of June, about 3 weeks from now."
Midatech's CEO hyped BTI's xB3 partnerships and the potential milestones. etc. I believe there could be a path out of BTI's current situation. I believe the Chiesi deal is still active. With Fabry approved Chiesi has a strategic foothold in LSDs and the brain is a strategic area for LSDs. The Neuramedy deal could be monitized. I believe at the AGM Rathjen said that the option agreement with J&J has been extended, expanded, and a small milestone was paid. We are now about 4 1/2 months past the original Jan. 31, 2023 expiry date for the J&J option. We could be very close to options exercise. J&J needs big markets to move the financial needle. The exercise of a multi-product licensing deal with J&J could be meaningful in terms of upfront money and validation for xB3. The J&J deal could also be monitized with XOMA as the Prothena and Chiesi deals were. Gildas Deniau, who is a Senior Scientist at Janssen in its Peptide Center of Excellence, 'liked' a BTI Linkedin post about two months ago. The BTI post said "Our proprietary xB3 platform enables the delivery of therapeutics into the brain It transports molecules across the blood-brain barrier & into the brain, where they can effectively treat neurological disorders." Nice to have that affirmed by a Senior Scientist at J&J at this time. That is a broad statement. Here's the Senior Scientists profile:
Accomplished scientist with over 12 years’ experience in the pharmaceutical industry, driving pharmaceutical research into the manufacturing of peptidic drug candidates and APIs. Skilled at coordinating and managing pharmaceutical projects from early phases of the drug development until
