Summary

Dutch biotech firm Argenx N.V. has filed for an IPO worth about $75 million but has not released details on share pricing.

Argenx is developing antibody platforms and drugs based on the llama immune system and has multiple drugs in Phase 2 clinical trials.

Argenx has partnerships with major pharmaceutical companies like Shire, which holds about 12 percent of the company’s stock.

Investing in biotech IPO is riskier in general, but Argenx is a good bet if you really want to invest in this field.

The biotech IPO market, like IPOs in general, have undergone a renaissance as the markets have improved and companies start moving away from private investors. As Pharmaphorum notes, a series of biotech companies have filed to go public over the last month, including Ovid Therapeutics (Pending:OVID) and Biohaven Pharmaceuticals.

Now investors need to add Argenx N.V. to the list. This Dutch biotech firm has released further details on its upcoming IPO as it announced that it plans to raise up to nearly $75 million in its IPO on the NASDAQ. However, Argenx has not revealed how many shares nor what the pricing will be to reach that $75 million.

Biotech companies remain a highly risky endeavor, and Argenx is no exception. However, there are certain things to like in this company's pipeline as it has multiple drugs in or near Phase 2, good partners, and is taking an innovative approach towards fighting crucial diseases. Investors with a higher tolerance for risk should consider Argenx. However, remember that while the biotech market has improved compared to 2016, it is still not fully recovered from the down years.

The Power of Llamas

If there is anything which can be said about Argenx, it is that it has certainly taken a unique approach towards fighting diseases. In Argenx's own words in its SEC filing, the company plans to treat severe autoimmune diseases and cancer with a SIMPLE antibody platform "based on the powerful llama immune system." Yes, you read that right. Llamas.

But this is no joke, as pharmaceutical and biotech companies have been looking at the potential of the llama immune system for years. Argenx argues that its llama antibody platform is more diverse than antibody platforms developed in mice or synthetic systems, and has created multiple drugs along this platform.

Argenx's most important drugs are ARGX-113, which would be designed to fight rare autoimmune diseases, and ARGX-110, which would be fighting T-cell lymphoma and acute myeloid leukemia. Both of these drugs recently entered Phase 2 testing with the FDA, and Argenx has other drugs on the market including partnerships with other medical companies to fight less critical but still widespread conditions like arthritis and skin inflammation.

All of this is generally good signs for investors. Argenx has multiple drugs in Phase 2 testing, it is has partners who are interested in its products, and it is testing a wide variety of drugs which would all be in demand. But the fact that both ARGX-113 and ARGX-110 entered Phase 2 in March and April 2017 respectively does mean that investors will be waiting quite a while, praying for positive results and investing in a company for which there is currently almost no Phase 2 data.

Low Debt and Partnerships

Investors should be concerned about how long it will take for data to come out and Argenx to develop ARGX-113 and ARGX-110, but the company overall has strong fundamentals. While Argenx of course lost money as every rising biotech company does, it has over €100 million in financial assets compared to a carrying amount of €12 million in financial liabilities.

In addition, Argenx has been able to secure important partnerships, particularly one with Shire Pharmaceuticals. Shire invested $20 million in Argenx in 2014 and announced an extension of this strategic alliance in February. When one considers how Argenx has been able to secure valuable partners, it is clear that medical experts and companies believe that Argenx is developing something useful and profitable.

Risk and Reward

Investing in biotech is almost always a risky endeavor and Argenx is no exception. Its main drugs have just entered Phase 2 testing and will not be ready for years, and there is obviously no way to know if they will sell even if they are approved by the FDA.

But Argenx has plenty of assets, is aggressively pushing drugs which should be able to gain a lucrative market, and has major partners like Shire which will let it both earn money through royalties and also strike out on its own. And by going public in a friendlier but still somewhat depressed biotech IPO market, Argenx should be able to attract interest.

More cautious investors should probably stay away from biotech IPOs in general, but a more aggressive investor could make a great deal down the line with Argenx. Do remember to be patient as it will take time to reap any potential rewards.

DETAILS OF THE FINANCIAL RESULTS

For the three-month period ended March 31, 2017, operating income reached €7.2 million compared to €2.8 million during the three-month period ended March 31, 2016. The higher operating income in the three-month period ended March 31, 2017 is mainly due to the partial recognition of the upfront payment from the AbbVie collaboration announced in April 2016.

Research and development (R&D) expenses were €12.2 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2017 and €4.4 million during the three-month period ended March 31, 2016. The €7.8 million increase in R&D expenses in the three-month period ended March 31, 2017 corresponds principally to increased clinical trial activities and to the recruitment of additional R&D personnel.

General and administrative (G&A) expenses amounted to €3.4 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2017 and €1.4 million during the three-month period ended March 31, 2016. The €2.0 million increase in the three-month period ended March 31, 2017 is principally due to expenses related to the proposed public offering in the United States and the recruitment of additional G&A personnel for supporting the operational activities of the Company.

The Company generated a total comprehensive loss of €8.4 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2017 compared to €3.0 million during the three-month period ended March 31, 2016.

The Company's cash, cash equivalents and current financial assets amounted to €85.0 million on March 31, 2017 compared to €96.7 million on December 31, 2016.

argenx reaches 50% enrollment in Phase 2 clinical trial of ARGX-113 in myasthenia gravis

Top-line data from the study expected in first quarter of 2018

4 May 2017

Breda, the Netherlands / Ghent, Belgium - argenx (Euronext Brussels: ARGX), a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing a deep pipeline of differentiated antibody-based therapies for the treatment of severe autoimmune diseases and cancer, today announced that it has recruited 50% of the myasthenia gravis (MG) patients in the Phase 2 proof-of-concept study of ARGX-113.

"We are encouraged by the pace of enrollment in this trial," commented Nicolas Leupin, Chief Medical Officer of argenx. "We now expect to present the top-line data of the ARGX-113 clinical trial in MG in the first quarter of 2018."

The double-blind, placebo controlled Phase 2 study is enrolling up to 24 MG patients with confirmed generalized muscle weakness. ARGX-113 is being dosed on top of current standard of care, including cholinesterase inhibitors, steroids and/or immunosuppressants. The primary objectives of the trial are safety and tolerability, and secondary objectives include efficacy and an assessment of pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) markers.

The MG clinical trial was launched in January of this year. ARGX-113 is also being studied in a Phase 2 proof-of-concept study for the treatment of primary immune thrombocytopenia, which was initiated in March 2017.

About ARGX-113

ARGX-113 is an investigational therapy for treatment of IgG-mediated autoimmune diseases. ARGX-113 is the Fc-portion of an antibody that has been modified by the argenx proprietary ABDEG(TM) technology to increase its affinity for FcRn beyond that of normal IgG antibodies. As a result, ARGX-113 blocks antibody recycling and leads to fast depletion of the autoimmune disease-causing IgG autoantibodies.

We are focused on developing product candidates with the potential to be either first-in-class against novel targets or best-in-class against known, but complex, targets in order to treat diseases with a significant unmet medical need.

Ik hoop het ook. Heb de helft van mijn Ablynx stukjes ingeruild voor extra Gala. Wacht al lang op Ablynx maar tot nu toe vooral teleurgesteld. Merus is trouwens ook de moeite waard om te volgen.

Vwb Biotech zit ik zelf in Galapagos, ProqR, Genfit, Merus, Pharnext, ArgenX, MdxHealth, Biocartis en Kiadis.

- Galapagos: je zegt hoge waardering, afgezet tegen de riskantere biotechs die nog heel ver verwijderd zijn van een medicijn op de markt zie je dat bij Galapagos het risico lager wordt omdat mn Filgotinib heel ver in de testen is met niet alleen goede resultaten, zelfs best in class resultaten. Risico loopt eruit, koers loopt op

Daarnaast heb ik veel vertrouwen in mn Genfit, Merus, Proqr en ArgenX.

Volgens mij vergeet je 1 zaak mbt Ablynx .
Ablynx zit veel dichter bij goedkeuring/ marktintroductie van een eerste medicijn dan GLPG . Al denk ik dat GLPG een grote toekomst tegemoet gaat staan ze wat koers tov Ablynx veel te hoog (tevens weet je niet wat fase 3 gaat doen) . Dat heeft te maken door dat de grote hoop (op dit moment)achter GLPG aan hobbelt en Ablynx (ook uiteraard door stomme fouten/lees contract met Abbvie)) in de vergetelheid is geraakt . Dit kan echter zeer snel bijtrekken .

Ik zet iig in op Ablynx / Argen-X en Thrombogenics . Alle 3 zeer laag gewaardeerd als we het afzetten tegenover pipeline en cash .
