4SC has announced that its partner Yakult Honsha did not reach the primary endpoint in its Asian liver cancer trial with all-comer patients. As a result, it will not be progressing resminostat to a pivotal study. These results do not affect 4SC’s core focus on the launch of its pivotal EU Phase II resminostat study in CTCL and progression of its earlier pipeline. A positive partnership with Link Health (4SC-205) and data at ASCO (4SC-202) underline this. Removal of the Japan HCC contribution reduces our rNPV to €104m (vs €145m).
