Becoming a dermato-oncology expert

4SC’s new core strategy revealed earlier this year has focused on dermato-oncological indications, while its assets for other indications are partnered. The sharp focus will allow 4SC to become an expert in the field and to accumulate commercial know-how, as the company intends to market the core assets (resminostat, 4SC-202 and 4SC-208) in orphan indications on its own. A successful fund-raise in July means that the company now has sufficient funds until 2020 and past several important R&D events. We have overhauled our model to reflect 4SC’s new strategy and our new valuation is €344m or €11.2/share.
