Cardio3 BioSciences, a European biopharmaceutical company, now covered by Edison Investment Research

LONDON, Jan. 8, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Edison's comprehensive report on Cardio3 BioSciences, Healing failing hearts, analyses its C-Cure heart regenerative product, which uses a mix of powerful cell-signalling molecules to programme autologous stem cells to develop into heart muscle. This makes C-Cure a potentially powerful novel treatment for patients with weakened, scarred hearts, usually due to previous heart attacks. C-Cure showed positive efficacy endpoints in Phase II and median heart output increased by 25% relative to baseline. The CHART-1 Phase III in chronic ischaemic heart failure is underway using C-Cath_ez delivery to improve cell retention 3.6 fold. Data are expected in late 2015.

Based on clinical probabilities of EU 40% and US 25%, our healthcare team identifies the base case indicative value as €77 per share. Scenario risk variants range from €42 to €225 per share.
