Insight, foresight and recommendation
Mesoblast (MESO) – January '18 opened at $5.84, slipping in february to $5.50 yet falling to a low of $4.91 followed by an upswing to $5.52 on 2/21. Volume has been low as has platform news.

Heart failure (HF), MPC-150-IM: The P3 study in class II-III HF has enrolled over 400 patients and is on track to complete enrollment (N=600) in 2H18. The P2b study in end-stage HF (Class IV) completed enrollment (N=159) in 3Q17 with data readouts expected in 1Q18 and 3Q18. Disc Degeneration (DD), MPC-06-ID: The P3 (N=360) study is expected to complete enrollment in early 1Q18. The study is evaluating durable pain reduction and functional improvement (aiming for similar results observed in the N=100 P2 study). Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), MPC-300-IV: Data in the P2 study demonstrated durable efficacy in anti-TNF refractory patients going out to 52 weeks. The totality of the data will be used to design a P3 program, though timing has not been disclosed. Mesoblast's strong IP estate has to be better valued …
