Jul 13th 2012 - Edison Investment Research today published a report on Phytopharm (PYM.L, LSE:PYM, LON:PYM) entitled "Binary Vision". In summary, the report says:
Phytopharm’s investment case centres on a binary event in February 2013 when top-line results are expected from its Confident-PD Phase II trial of Cogane in early-stage Parkinson’s disease. Positive data could allow Phytopharm to secure a development and commercialisation partner for Cogane, milestones that would significantly increase our rNPV of £48m to £83m. A failure of Cogane in the Confident-PD study could reduce the company’s market value to cash or lower, although encouraging data in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis may offer an alternative route to market.
