08/8/2017 12:00	lantanatony: Poacher45 What you say is true. However there are very different eyes on the company now. But a hostile bid could spoil the party. It is still a punt but could be worthwhile. At the current share price it is small beer for most In the Bio Phama sector. Read Full Thread Follow Reply

09/5/2017 13:21	the drewster: tick tick tick, but still waiting for the BOOM: Moderna releases Phase I trial data for mRNA technology By StockMarketWire \| Mon, 8th May 2017 - 13:32 Avacta Group has confirmed that Moderna has disclosed Phase I trial data for its mRNA technology. It says this is the first public evidence that it works, which meaningfully de-risks the partnership plans to deliver Affimer therapeutics using mRNA. Background: Avacta is the proprietary owner of Affimer technology for the development of bio-therapeutics, diagnostic tests and research reagents. Affimers represent a radical alternative to established antibody technology which dominates the drug industry despite its limitations. Moderna was the first to enter into an agreement with Avacta to use the Affimer technology, in tandem with Moderna's mRNA drug delivery platform. At 1:32pm: (LON:AVCT) Avacta Group PLC share price was -0.5p at 86p Read Full Thread Follow Reply
25/2/2017 19:28	wan: Lentjes...Read the original announcement - "Mr Albin will invest a total amount of GBP12,500 per annum in new Avacta shares. He will purchase the shares on a quarterly basis, purchasing GBP3,125 of new shares on each of 31 March, 30 June, 30 September and 31 December. The purchase price of the shares will be the average mid-market closing share price for the five trading days immediately prior to each quarter-end. The terms pursuant to which Mr Albin will purchase his shares are fixed and he has irrevocably committed to such terms." Just to be clear though, in March Albin did not buy £3,125 worth.

18/2/2017 11:58	dec2000: This thread is getting out of control. As far as I can see, there are indeed a number of scaffolds.. and some of the companies that developed them have been acquired by others, some have gone on to be valuable in their own right (eg Molecular Partners) and some have recently done potentially significant deals with others (eg Pieris). We need to keep these things in context and even in perspective. We have to remember that some significant partners have done deals with Avacta (Moderna and Memorial Sloan Kettering) OK these are subject to performance but these organisations would not even bother to start unless they thought that Affimers had promise. Then we have to remember that the biggest shareholder is IP Group and they are not fools. Far from it. Also Avacta has reported good progress with the therapeutic Tx side of the business and we have the testimonial from Ramzi. Next remember that the Scientific Advisory Board consists of some very significant indeed eminent people who would not bother if they thought Affimers were a waste of time. Finally remember that the company has generated genuine revenue in the Reagents and Diagnostics space for paid-for projects with other biotech companies and Alistair has indicated that we will see the first proper revenue for Affimer powered products in 2017. My take is that it is very frustrating that it is taking time, but this is inevitable and what we need is patience. Also remember that the big institutions are not selling.. so the fall in the share price is due to private individuals selling and this happens because of the drip of bad comments in sites such as this!!! Lets have some patience and sense ! Then we will see the share price rise not fall! Read Full Thread Follow Reply
04/12/2016 09:27	wan: I note we now have the reason for the recent drop in the share price, in the form of a relatively large sell trade at 75p. I don't talk about the share price very often, but to perhaps put some perspective across regarding Avacta's share price performance, emerging U.S. biotech firms are down 39 percent this year and their European counterparts are down by 27 percent (and I appreciate that that probable doesn't make anyone feel any better). The main reason driving this under-performance, relative to the wider equity markets, is that drug pricing is weighing on investors minds and it has shifted sentiment. However, with large pharma showing strong interest in preclinical assets, it has been a good year for some companies with early stage assets to sell. Indeed, news elsewhere shows that large pharma is also very interested in alternatives to antibodies and it also continues to demonstrate their strong interest in preclinical assets - Better than ADCs? AstraZeneca bids for Bicyclic Peptides AstraZeneca has signed a deal with Bicycle Therapeutics that could exceed €1B. The foundation is bicyclic peptides, which combine the best of antibodies and small molecules. Could Bicycle Drug Conjugates (BDCs) outperform ADCs? Peptides tend to be unpopular because they’re usually less specific than antibodies, although Amcure in Germany is also relying on them to treat cancer. Although the bicyclic peptide technology hasn’t proved itself worthy in the clinic yet, AstraZeneca seems to be attracted by the myriad advantages it offers. For Bicycle Therapeutics, this agreement means an expansion into new disease areas, which were mostly restricted to oncology so far. Full story - http://labiotech.eu/bicycle-therapeutics-astrazeneca/ The AstraZeneca deal with Bicycle is interesting in terms of the development stage of Bicycle. It is also perhaps more than interesting in terms of it being about an alternative to antibodies, which we know are expensive to produce (not to mention other issues). So this brings me back to drug pricing, and it is interesting that if a peptide works in a particular application then it could be attractive because it is easy to produce and subsequently much cheaper than antibodies. It will thus be interesting to see if acquiring or partnering assets that can ultimately reduce the cost of drugs becomes a trend. If so, then Avacta could be in an even better place than some are currently assuming. My research indicates that Affimers, being proteins, have larger interaction areas, have a greater range of conformations and higher affinities than peptides, hence the range of collaborations to date. So, while Bicycle's offering has clearly caught attention (another example of British success....well done!), it's not difficult to imagine that Affimers are attracting interest beyond the already declared interest coming from affinity separation, immunoassays and lateral flow diagnostics players. I appreciate though that some investors are only interested in substance i.e. something tangible and meaningful in terms of cash, as opposed to promises. But Avacta has attracted some very interesting and talented people (including collaborations), and such individuals don't usually align themselves to technologies or small companies without very good reason. Whilst some on here are inclined to describe Avacta as a failure waiting to happen, I am far more inclined to describe Avacta as another British success waiting to happen! We should champion British companies, especially ones that could also make a significant difference to peoples lives. Staying with British; I note that whilst I was away recently a sizeable UK focused fund is being created - Battle Against Cancer joins Wellcome to be £1bn champion Battle Against Cancer Investment Trust plans to team up with Wellcome Trust and become national champion in healthcare research The £483 million company today announced a big change in direction, unveiling plans to deepen its involvement in cancer research and biotechnology investment. It will potentially more than double in size to £1 billion and will gradually wind down its investments in alternative funds. ‘The same logic has given rise to this transaction, which will create a national champion of life science investing and accelerate the achievement of our aim: to win the battle against cancer and to create great returns for our investors at the same time.’ ‘This represents a major change in strategy for Bacit,’ said Numis analyst Ewan Lovett-Turner. ‘The tie-up with Wellcome Trust is an interesting development that looks set to create a sizeable listed company to support investment in UK life sciences.

Emerging treatments like immunotherapy are radically changing the field, we are increasingly able to tailor more treatments to individual patients, and advances in technology mean we can collect and share more research data than ever before.

01/12/2016 10:32	dec2000: Clearly the market knows well in advance (24 hours) of us "normal shareholders" about RNS messages etc. However the drop in share price does not seem to have any fundamental support or reason. As I mentioned yesterday the drop in share price does not even seem to be linked to any significant share sale. The strategic update just released confirms everything we know about the company. There are no surprises. I e mailed Alastair Smith and whilst he cannot comment on share movements specifically, he expressed his "frustration" at yesterday's sudden movement and confirmed the steady progress of the company. Overall I believe the best conclusion is that this is an attempt to manipulate the share price (which often happens for small companies) and the right response is to sit tight and even use it as a buying opportunity Read Full Thread Follow Reply

30/11/2016 12:38	dec2000: if you look at the share trades it seems to have continued as normal then the share price fell a few p even though only a small number of trades was going through and then a sell order came through for 30000.. though the share price was dropping by then.. then subsequent partial rebound... either someone knows something we don't eg failure to sign a contract or even a hiccup with the Moderna deal or else its just a random fluctuation... no news on web site Read Full Thread Follow Reply
