SHARE PRICE DEVELOPMENTS
The majority of the Danish Biotech stocks delivered a negative share price performance last week. The average return was however positive with 2.4%. Initiator Pharma rose 35% after they reported positive phase IIb studies with IP2018 against erectile dysfunction. Fluoguide rose just 4% after positive phase 2 results from its lead candidate FG001, which can make cancer cells luminescent. However, the explanation may be that the stock is already up 134% year-to-date. Curasight A/S, Fluoguide A/S and Saniona AB have been the best performing stocks year-to-date after soaring 134-154% after among other things partnerships and positive recommendations paving the way for approvals.
