We are initiating coverage on specialist pharmaceutical services provider Ergomed. We believe it should prove relatively resilient during the COVID-19 crisis and has the fundamentals in place to execute its growth strategy. Ergomed announced impressive audited numbers for FY19, with revenue up 26% to £68.3m and EBITDA up 5.5x to £12.5m. The FY19 announcement is effectively Ergomed’s fourth profit upgrade for FY19 and a small beat on recently reset FY19 expectations. Ergomed trades at a discounted EV/EBITDA of 10.1x vs the contract research outsourcing (CRO) sector average of 11.5x (FY20). We value Ergomed at £186m or 399p/share. Ergomed’s strong organic growth is benefiting from a clear strategic focus on high growth pharma sectors, margin control and order book growth (up 15% to £125m in FY19, giving 90% visibility to 2020).

UK's Izana Bioscience tests rheumatoid arthritis drug in COVID-19 patients "The compassionate use programme is led by Professor Carlo Selmi, Izana said, while research services are being provided by Ergomed ERGO.L. Japan's Takeda 4502.T has a strategic equity stake in Izana."

In a statement, Someit Sidhu, chief executive of Izana said: “Evidence suggests that anti GM-CSF therapy has the potential to change the way patients' immune systems respond to the virus, and therefore to reduce dangerous inflammation and support recovery."
The programme is being conducted at the Humanitas Research Hospitals in Bergamo and Milan.
Ergomed is already involved in a study at the Papa Giovanni XXIII Hospital in Bergamo into siltuximab, an approved rheumatoid arthritis option that targets the IL-6 cytokine, as a treatment for COVID-19 patients who develop serious respiratory complications.

Zwischenergebnisse veröffentlicht
Die Zwischenergebnisse der Sisco-Studie sind vielversprechend: Insgesamt werden 25 Patienten mit nachgewiesener Covid-19-Infektion untersucht und mit Siltuximab behandelt. Die Studie ist eine einarmige Fall-Kontroll-Studie: Alle Patienten erhielten den Wirkstoff in einer Dosis von 11 mg / kg – diese wurde über eine Stunde infundiert. Nach Ermessen des Arztes folgte bei fünf Patienten eine zweite Dosis 48 bis 72 Stunden nach der ersten Gabe. Im Durchschnitt sind die Patienten 64 Jahre alt, 86 Prozent waren männlich. Zu den häufigsten Grunderkrankungen zählen Hypertonie (43 Prozent), Herzkreislauferkrankungen (19 Prozent) und Diabetes (24 Prozent). Die Beobachtungsdauer der Patienten betrug durchschnittlich acht Tage. Primäre Endpunkte der Studie sind die Verringerung der Notwendigkeit einer invasiven Beatmung, die Verkürzung der Zeit auf der Intensivstation und die Reduktion der 30-Tage-Mortalität.
Vorläufige Ergebnisse sind positiv
Bei 76 Prozent der Patienten gab es positive Ergebnisse: Sieben der 21 Patienten zeigten eine Verbesserung der Symptome, bei neun stabilisierte sich der Krankheitszustand. Die Konzentration von C-reaktivem Protein (CRP) nahm bei allen Teilnehmern ab. Dennoch kam es bei 24 Prozent zu einer Verschlechterung, ein Patient verstarb. In den kommenden drei bis vier Wochen sollen die Ergebnisse mit einer abgestimmten Fallkontrolle verglichen werden, in der nicht mit Siltuximab behandelt wurde. Zudem befinde sich Eusa Pharma in Gesprächen mit verschiedenen Zentren, um eine größer angelegte Studie starten zu können, erklärte der Hersteller.

Dabei muss man wissen, das ERGOMED nicht als Medikamentenentwickler sondern in den Studien als Dienstleister auftritt - sprich ERGOMED verdient - ohne RISIKO.
Eines ist sicher, Dienstleistungen im Pharmabereich werden nachgefragt und der Markt wächst nicht nur wegen COVID.
Hoffen wir das REMDESIVR anschlägt....!
