I have the occasional look in as he does sometimes conduct a good interview, n
But his doctor like prognosis on chart reading is quite ridiculous, particularly on illiquid small caps that seem more inappropriate than bigger market cap stock. I did follow Alpesh Patel (ex barrister/stock analyst). He used charts more for momentum investing, which I kind of get, but still find it pretty micky mouse investing. Paul Scot says he has been approached by the board of Cog for an interview. Paul is interested in Cog to a degree but has been a bit wary of late. Seems to be getting slightly more interested again. I expect you are correct about sudden moves. Brett Gordon has increased his stake twice recently without much impact. I think it must have been an overhang from director sells in the acquired companies. Normally his buys would have pushed the stock right back up.

"Cambridge Cognition Holdings plc (AIM: COG), which develops and markets digital solutions to assess brain health, is pleased to announce a new strategic partnership with ActiGraph, a leading provider of wearable technologies for clinical trials. The partnership will deliver a broad suite of assessments to provide a fully rounded view of mental and physical capabilities. With both companies holding leading positions in their respective markets, it is anticipated that the co-promotion planned under the agreement will support growth in market share in the future."

Looks like a very sensible partnership.

Many thanks yet again Fathom. Looking forward to Monument news, as indeed cog end of month. Not expecting to much movement up yet. Even record results don’t impress at the moment! Gl

Thanks for that 40 Fathoms.
I have yet to listen but did go on the Winterlight website for the first time and saw that there was no reference to their relationship with COG except the Jan 11 23 article-the latest one in their news section.
I note trading over the last 3 weeks has been miniscule.
Those who bought sub 50 will do well.

Minsky If it is there is a complete misunderstanding of what COG do. Which is quite possible.there is plenty of info out there to explain

Nice one Fathom40. I was contemplating a top up here before results next week. Anything pharma, healthcare, diagnostics seems to be coming very much under the spotlight, particularly with any connection to the buzzword AI. Slightly surprised Cog has not reacted so far. little interest from the market except Cannacord moved their holing up over 10 percent September 6th. Watched their capital markets presentation, which is hard work to be honest (Mathew Stork was excellent)but of course there are some very interesting takes from it not least the progress in drug developments that the pharma are very keen to get analysed by Cog and their two acquisitions. Looks like lower double digit growth minimum. I remember you saying it would take a year or two to really take off. I suspect there will be plenty about that too. Fingers crossed. Real struggle to get a top up . They quite happy to take my entire holing at a derisory price if I wanted. My order from yesterday never got filled even at a higher price than some small trades going through. Managed to get a few in 3 chunks @ 92.88. Bizar market makers. Youd think they would just whack up the price. Obviously dont believe in supply and demand

"Cambridge Cognition (AIM: COG), which develops and markets digital solutions to assess brain health, is pleased to announce it has won a £2 million contract for a pivotal cancer therapy trial. The Company will provide its proprietary cognitive assessments (CANTABĀ®) as an exploratory endpoint with revenue from the contract expected to be recognised over the next five years."

Excellent, another chunky contract and all the better for being in an non CNS trial as a safety endpoint.

Yesterday evening Eisai/Biogen recived accelerated FDA approval for Lecenamab, which will now be renamed as Leqembi. This is a drug that will be used to treat early stage Alzheimers and although it is far from perfect this is a pivotal moment along the path to changing the treatment paradigm in AD.

The follow on effects for Cambridge Cognition over the next decade will be significant and twofold. Firstly, you will see a significant number of new AD clinical trials initiated, both for new APIs targeting beta amyloid and also targeting new mechanisms of action. In addition you will start to see trials of drug combinations. Leqembi and Donepezil would be an obvious one, given that Aricept is also an Eisai drug. A share of all this additional work will come to Cambridge Cognition.

Secondly, now that we have the ability to modify the disease, faster and earlier diagnosis of AD is going to be crucial. It will not be affordable, nor practicable to definitively test everyone (PET scan or lumbar puncture) who turns up in the GP clinic saying they forgot where they left the car in the carpark last week or they could not remember the name of their postman. The answer is a quick, cheap and accurate digital test that will determine if your cognition is normal, both against your peer group but also against yourself when tested longitudinally. There are only two companies that are in a position to provide widely validated, highly sensitive, digital administered tests and Cambridge Cognition is one of these companies.

Over the next decade, globally. Tests in this health screening market should be somewhere between 5 million & 50 million annually, multiply this number by @ $10-$12 per test (this is an estimate of what Cogstate will receive via its licensing agreement with Eisai) and then assign a percentage of the resultant figure to Cambridge Cognition. If we take 5 million tests per year and US$ 10 dollars per test and assign a 10% market share to Cambridge Cognition that would be US$ 5 million dollars in annual revenue and note that revenue has 95%+ gross margin. If we keep Cambridge's share of the market at 10% but increase the $ per test to $12 and estimating a market of 30 million tests per year. We would see a COG revenue of $36 million per year.

Just for a little bit more context as to how this market might evolve you might look at what Eisai and Cogstate are starting to do in Japan. In Japan it is mandatory for an employer to offer an annual health check, known as kenko shindan. Eisai is working on having their Cognigram tests included for all over 50s. They are starting to also have them embedded in private health insurance physicals and they are also exploring with the government making them a part of the driving licence renewal process, after a certain age. The other factor to consider is that once you are on some form of treatment you will be tested regularly to make sure the drug is having a positive effect.

Last but not least Eli Lilly will be filling with the FDA before the end of 2023 for approval of their beta amyloid clearing therapy known as daonanemab. Should this be approved this will reinforce all of the factors highlighted above..

@tratante - While Cambridge Cognition has the most sensitive measures in AD it is not the digital test market leader, that is Cogstate which is listed in Australia. Nevertheless, there is still very significant growth in the AD market for COG, especially with their new voice product and some of the multimodal work they are doing which is absolutely at the leading edge.

The point I wanted to make is that less than 20% of COGs revenue and even less of its contracted back log comes from dementia trials. COG covers the whole CNS spectrum and outside of AD it is by far the (digital) market leader. This is important because the research dollars spent on these other conditions in total, is many, many times that spent on Alzheimer's. Think Attention Deficit Disorders, OCD, stroke, TBI, Autisum, Epilepsy,MS,Sleep Disorders, Depression, Schizophrenia, Parkinson's, Huntingdon's, PTSD, addiction issues, Cognition as a safety endpoint in non CNS drugs .... the list goes on.

But your point remains, the ability to be able to objectively and repeatidly test various aspects of cognition away from a test centre and without a rater present is a fast growing niche with a huge moat and only Cambridge Cognition and Cogstate have validated and viable digital products. At this point these two are only competing against, traditional pencil and paper tests and are capturing significantly less than 10% of the trial opportunities available to them. Within 10 years all clinical trial related cognitive test will be digital.

The last point in order not to make this post too long, CNS trials are often very long in duration (as you are usually looking at change overtime) and require large numbers of participants in order to be properly powered. At this point neither COG nor CGS are working on many Phase III trials. As Phase I and II trails progress some will move to Phase III and this is where the mega sized contracts are. Last year Cogstate signed a Phase III AD contract worth @US$15.5 million over 4 years.

In CNS for remote digital measures of cognition there is effectively no competition to Cogstate and Cambridge Cognition, for all the reasons we have mentioned before. To the extent that they do have competition it is pencil and paper tests.

Outside of CNS, I think you should be looking at it the other way around. To what extent should other CROs be worried about the competition to their offering. These guys don't have validated digital measures and it is much easier and cheaper for them to bring in a Cogstate or a Cambridge Cognition for that function. This is already happening Cogstate has partnered with ERT (Now Clario), Cambridge Cognition provides its services to a number of CROs.

As trials move more and more in to voice, wearables, RW etc these guys move further and further ahead, their tests get more and more sensitive. Pushing a pen and paper test on line with a rater looking over your shoulder on zoom is not competition. That said, I am not sure either Cogstate or Cambridge Cognition are interested in commodity style work. Both have excellent gross margins and a tonne of high margin growth ahead of them. One of the things Matthew Stork has done here to recognise what COG does is valuable to its clients and to make sure they are properly paid for work they do. We have 80% gross margins, from memory Cogstate has 60% so their is no need to chase after the crumbs. The difference in gross margins between the two before you ask, is we in essence just provide software, in addition to software Cogstate also provides services such as Raters and rater training and these are lower margin products. You will note the CGSs margin jumps about a bit based on the product mix booked during any reporting period.
