The latest phase-three test was broken into two parts, with results form Part A due in the second half of 2017 and those from Part B, which would be conducted on a larger population size, due in the backhalf of 2018.
Analysts at Numis viewed that staging of the Grass-SPIRE test as a means to also factor in the results of the Phase three Cat-SPIRE trial into Grass-SPIRE.
"In the event of a failure, Circassia has a fast-growing specialty asthma diagnostics platform broad pipeline of respiratory generics and a solid balance sheet, and we continue to see an attractive risk reward profile with a 610p target price if successful and 177p if unsuccessful with further upside from the diagnostics (primary care) and generics (generic Advair and novel triple) portfolio on a 12-month view," Numis analysts Paul Cuddon, Sally Taylor and Stefan Hamill said in a research note sent to clients.
