Interview
with Jerry Kanellos: RedChip Money Report Transcript
[Jon]
Let’s
go to the interview. We're here with Jerry Kanellos, CEO of Immuron. Jerry, welcome back to the show.
[Jerry]
Thanks
for having me again.
[Jon]
Now
Jerry, Immuron is developing and commercializing oral immunotherapies for the treatment of gut-mediated diseases. Let's start with
an overview of your platform and what makes it unique.
[Jerry]
Yeah
sure. Our technology platform is based, as you said, on oral immunoglobulins derived from engineered, hyper-immune, bovine colostrum.
This technology is like human intravenous immunoglobulins, which derive from human plasma. And a product which generates about
sixteen billion dollars in revenue in the US alone. The major difference between the two technologies is that we have the capability
of producing highly specific immunoglobulins to any pathogenic bacteria, and our products are orally active. The bovine IgG that
we use can withstand the acidic environment of the stomach and is resistant to proteolysis by the digestive enzymes found in the
G.I. tract.
[Jon]
Jerry,
Wall Street analysts cover your stock with a high buy rating. What's the essential value proposition? Why should investors take
interest in Immuron today?
[Jerry]
Well
Immuron is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company targeting inflammatory, mediated, and infectious diseases with our oral immunoglobulin
therapeutics. We have a validated technology platform with a registered asset which is generating growing revenue, and we have
two lead clinical assets in phase two development for the treatment of fatty liver diseases and clostridium difficile infection.
Fatty liver
disease is forecast to be a forty billion dollar market opportunity for anyone playing in that space in the year 2020, and there's
no therapeutic approved at the moment to tackle that particular disease. Clostridium difficile infection is also one of the hospital
super bugs and that's forecast to be a 1.5 billion dollar business in the year 2020, as well. And they're the two arenas we currently
are playing in.
[Jon]
While
most small biopharma companies are pre-revenue, Immuron complements its larger development work with a revenue-generating product
that treats traveler's diarrhea. Jerry, what can you tell us about this product, its sales, and what's the expected growth?
[Jerry]
Yeah
sure. Travelan is our first product that we've taken to market. It is a listed medicine in Australia and in Canada, and
we're fortunate enough to be able to sell the product into the U.S. as a dietary supplement. The label claim is a
preventative to traveler's diarrhea and we're enjoying about 1.4 million dollars’ worth of revenue last financial year,
and we're seeing twenty percent growth in Australia, and the product is significantly selling in the U.S., particularly
focused on the traveler's medical clinics.
[Jon]
Thank
you. With multiple clinical trials underway, there will be several milestones investors can be looking for. Can you give us an
overview of that timeline?
[Jerry]
Yeah
sure. Currently, we have four phase 2 trials ongoing.
Three of
our trials are focused on fatty liver. The company is sponsoring a program in NASH. We also have a pediatric non-alcoholic fatty
liver disease study, and also a study targeting alcoholic steatohepatitis. And we have just recently initiated a trial on clostridium
difficile infection.
Our NASH
program is headed by Dr. Arun Sanyal from the University of Virginia. The study has recruited a hundred and thirty three NASH biopsy
positive patients. The last patient attended his last scheduled visit in October, and all twenty-five clinical sites are now closed.
The database is locked and is undergoing quality review. And we anticipate reporting our topline results in quarter one, 2018.
We also
have two NIH-funded studies. Dr. Miriam Vos from the Emory University is a lead principal investigator of our pediatric non-alcoholic
fatty liver disease study. The study has recruited ten of the targeted forty patients. And we expect topline results for this study
to reported in quarter four, 2018.
Dr Arun
Sanyal is also the lead principal investigator for our alcoholic steatohepatitis study. And the study has recruited forty out of
the sixty-six targeted patients, and we anticipate seeing results reported in quarter one, 2019 for that program.
We have
also initiated, as I mentioned earlier, a clinical study focusing on clostridium difficile infection. We're currently recruiting
and targeting sixty patients for that particular project, and we hope to see topline results reporting in quarter four, 2018.
[Jon]
Jerry,
thanks for being on the show. We look forward to hearing more from you and Immuron in the near future.
[Jerry]
Thanks
for your time, guys.
