MeiraGTx Holdings plc's GAD gene therapy for Parkinson's Disease shows promising phase 1/2 results, with significant improvements in UPDRS Part 3 and PDQ-39 scores. The company plans to discuss phase 3 study designs with regulatory agencies in Q4 2024, potentially initiating late-stage studies in 2025. MeiraGTx secured $50 million in funding, including a $30 million equity investment from Sanofi, enhancing its financial stability for future developments.
MeiraGTx Holdings PLC (MGTX) came out with a quarterly loss of $0.76 per share versus the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of $0.31. This compares to loss of $0.53 per share a year ago.
Bota-vec sale to JNJ/Janssen is complete – cash & future milestones from the deal should carry MeiraGTx through the next catalysts. The partnership with Sanofi strengthens the balance sheet and helps validate technology platforms. MGTX is no longer just an ocular GTx (gene therapy) company - its GTx for radiation-induced xerostomia has a high potential for success.
