Following the announcement that results from the Phase III FRESH study, investigating the use of firibastat in treatment-resistant hypertension (TRH) were non-significant versus placebo, Quantum Genomics has terminated a second, longer-term Phase III trial (REFRESH) in TRH and will stop the development of firibastat in cardiology. The company estimates it will have c €11m after the full discontinuation of cardiology development with which to pursue new opportunities to develop new assets. Our estimates and valuation for Quantum Genomics are under review.
