What's the average external cost per patient in clinical studies? The numbers we are seeing right now are jaw dropping: $130k per patient in autoimmune diseases, $250k in oncology P1/2. It can def explain some of the crazy burn rate biotechs report...

I think Adam is spot on. If we want to restore the market's trust in biotech the first step is to stop IPOing preclin companies that are 3-4 years from meaningful clin data, esp when valuations are >500M These companies don't belong on the public markets

@PeterKolchinsky Peter, what I and others know is that there are more preclinical, riskier companies going public now than in the past. Trend is clear. That’s not healthy for “the market.” We all know you don’t see this as a problem, and we expect you to make excuses for it.

@paulpetertak I stand behind what I wrote and don't think it's misleading to point out that overall survival data are impossible to interpret without a control arm. What's misleading is using terms like "improved" and "prolonged" when describing OS data from a non-randomized study.

EULAR 2024 data highlights from Jefferies Looks like B cell depletion (CART, T cell engagers, Fc enhanced mAbs) will dominate immunology meetings in the foreseeable future. A lot of new clinical data sets across multiple indications, hopefully the initial signal from the Schett

Monster deal today, $1.25B for a P1 program (IL4RxIL31). Interesting that $JNJ is betting on IL-31 which is clinically validated for itch rather than TSLP (a more classic Th2 cytokine) which is pursued by other pharmas. Differentiation def paid off for Numab!

Bispecifics are making a comeback not only in oncology ( $AMGN's recent approval) but also in immunology where IL13 and TSLP are the most popular targets. Tables below from Jefferies.

1/Maybe it's just me but I am definitely seeing a shift that started early Feb. For private deals it is much harder to find a lead and even with a lead syndication is very challenging. Seeing multiple cases of decent companies I thought would easily raise 60-80M dead in the water

Lots of speculation that after 12 month downdraft in $XBI that private mkt would "slow-down"... As of mid-Feb, 1Q22 is tracking to be the biggest Q for VC funding in #biotech of all time Over $7B in first 6 wks. Needs to get >$11B for trophy; might not, but still huge funding
