Small initial stake as I believe a placing maybe near

If correct I will top up Post placing

P2/3 trial in ARDS Feat COVID19 Patients targeting the Nrf2 pathway to reduce lung inflammation

Could have a v big year if proven effective
#EVG

Could Evgen Pharma become the next #SNG? 💥📈

Both developing a late stage Therapeutic targeting COVID19

#EVG £14m

#SNG £353m
🚨(25 TIMES higher than Evgen)🚨
#EVG 🥦

Evgen is a company that have created a synthetic drug based on sulforaphane using their Sulforadex® technology

Sulforaphane is a very unstable molecule found in
SUPER FOODS at very low concentrations which have remarkable health benefits🥦🥬
#EVG 🥦

Evgen's lead product SFX-01, is a patent-protected complex of sulforaphane and alpha-cyclodextrin in a stable powder which can be encapsulated inside a pill and easy to administer
#EVG 🥦

Combining Sulforaphane with Alpha-cyclodextrin allows the body to absorb the potent anti oxidant to a much higher degree increasing its anti-cancer and anti inflammatory effects on the body
#EVG 🥦

SFX-01 is currently being studies in 3 areas

-Cancers including Brain and Breast

-Lung Inflammation ARDS including COVID19🫁

-Longevity (Living Longer) partnered with Juvenesence (Specialist Longevity company valued at $500m in 2019)
#EVG 🥦

SFX-01 lead indication is in ARDS including COVID19 🫁

This is potentially a game changer for EVG
Their Phase 2/3 trial rapidly recruiting with potential for Market authorisation this year 💥

ARDS is wide spread lung inflammation
#EVG 🥦

Disregarding COVID19

2.2million people Globally suffer and are diagnosed with ARDS every year 🌍
including
150,000 to 200,000 Americans
#EVG 🥦

We have been able to significantly reduce the rate of death due to ARDS from 70% to 35% due to physical practices

However, there still remains A LARGE UNMET NEED

35% of people with ARDS (770,000 people) die every year on average with the primary cause diagnosed as ARDS
#EVG 🥦

Evgen's SFX-01 is a
highly potent synthetically engineered Sulforaphane molecule which importantly regulates the
Nrf2 pathway

The Nrf2 pathway regulates over 200 genes CONTROLLING a staggering 3-5% of our cells
#EVG 🥦

Sulforaphane is the strongest up regulator of the MASTER regulating Nrf2 pathway
#EVG 🥦

Nrf2 pathway

-Reduce inflammation
-Powerfully protects maintains and restores healthy function in the cell 🔥🧯
#EVG 🥦

The effects described above have a RAPID onset, reducing inflammation and restoring normal cell function within 30 minutes IN THE LUNGS 🫁

Could this be the Key to reducing death by ARDS? 💥🗝️
#EVG 🥦

ARDS is one of the biggest problematic conditions within the COVID19 illness as this study clearly points out

🚨75% of COVID Patients transferred to ICU is due to ARDS
🚨90% of ALL COVID patients have ARDS as a contributing factor
🚨45% ARDS is primary factor of death
#EVG 🥦

Further evidence of the thesis that Nrf2 plays a key role in preventing deterioration of ARDS in COVID patients

IL6 cytokine (the main damaging chemical causing cytokine storm inflammation) can be supressed by activation of the Nrf2 pathway

I hope I am allowing you to build up a picture as to why Life Arc
(a specialist medical innovation charity accelerating promising therapies to patients treatment protocols) specifically selected SFX-01 for trials in ARDS featuring COVID https://www.lifearc.org/funding/covid-19-funding-2/sfx-01/
#EVG 🥦

Life Arc received over 130 applications for grant funding for their COVID Initiative to find breakthrough therapies

SFX-01 was classed as one of the most promising therapies and was selected with only 12 other therapies
#EVG 🥦

Life Arc has played key roles in therapies being approved INCLUDING ground breaking drugs such as KEYTRUDA and Tocilizumab
#EVG 🥦

The board at Life Arc are very experienced with their CEO having decades of the experience in Research and Development at major Pharmaceutical giants all around the world

Currently sitting on the board of directors at Sanofi valued 🇪🇺98BILLION
#EVG 🥦

This data suggests there is a still a need for further safe and potentially potent anti inflammatory drugs like SFX-01

SFX-01 ARDS inc COVID 'STAR' trial commenced on 23rd November to recruit 300 Patients
https://www.investegate.co.uk/evgen-pharma-plc--evg-/rns/recruitment-of-first-patient-in-star-trial/202011230700060759G/
#EVG 🥦

At 100 patient mark the trial will retrieve preliminary data on safety + essentially if the drugs shows signs of working

23rdNov- Trial Start
19thJan- 56 Patients (0.96 Patients Per Day)
1st Feb- 89 Patents (2.53 Patients Per Day)

100 Patient Threshold expected 7thFeb
#EVG 🥦

Today the company announced a
SUBSTANTIALLY OVERSUBSCRIBED PLACING
with
HUGE FUNDING in comparison to MCap

This IMO strikes all the hallmarks of a potential #SNG style rerate if preliminary data is positive
#EVG 🥦

Funding through to 2023... the company may never need to raise again

IND for US trial and ultimately US/FDA approval 🇺🇸

'STAR' trial already in progress for approval across UK 🇬🇧 and EU 🇪🇺
#EVG 🥦

It appears by the data provided admission into the trial has accelerated
1. Due to the spike in cases
2. Potentially due to being a priority therapeutic candidate for this illness boding well that medical staff are increasing adoption in the trial https://twitter.com/AimHardy/status/1356739423661137925?s=20
#EVG 🥦

I believe very much in what the experts are saying that we will always live with the virus due to the fact it mutates more aggressively in presence of Antibodies and especially in immunocompromised/“old” people, as the vaccine rolls out this is key to watch 🚨
