$EDSA Tough to watch the stock price slide into the depths of hell. Probably will get worse.
IMO they will not proceed with dosing patients until a strategic partner is lined up, or there is some clear PIPE type financing ready to go.
A realistic partnership could look like a small upfront payment of 3-7m with the partner fully funding the P2. Another route could be a co development deal with a larger upfront payment and cost sharing for the trial. A 3rd possibility would be a regional licensing deal (ex NA) with the partner funding a P2 in their market.
Honestly, any of those scenarios are realistic and would make a world of difference for shareholders. A "free" P2 for EB06 would resuscitate interest. In parallel I'm sure they are still trying to probe potential pathways for EB05.
It comes down now to execution. 7 years since ipo and they've destroyed basically all the value. With their track record, does anyone truly believe they'll be able to pull it off? Hard to say.
