Un­fazed by dis­rup­tions, Cowen's in­vest­ment arm backs AM-Phar­ma's $176M piv­otal plan around lethal con­di­tion

It may not be the best time to start up a late-stage study un­re­lat­ed to Covid-19, but AM-Phar­ma isn’t let­ting a slight de­lay de­rail its over­all plan.

The Dutch biotech has been sin­gu­lar­ly fo­cused on re­cAP, an an­ti-in­flam­ma­to­ry re­com­bi­nant hu­man form of an en­zyme orig­i­nal­ly found in cows called al­ka­line phos­phatase.

The one Phase III it be­lieves it needs for ap­proval was sched­uled for this sum­mer, fund­ed by a $133 mil­lion round last Ju­ly. Hav­ing pushed study ini­ti­a­tion to af­ter the sum­mer, AM-Phar­ma is adding $52 mil­lion for the reg­u­la­to­ry work need­ed to pre­pare for launch, in­clud­ing CMC val­i­da­tion and com­mer­cial sup­ply.
