Shares in Ixico PLC fell Tuesday after the company warned of a
likely revenue hit as its largest pharmaceutical customer, Roche
Holding AG, plans to stop dosing participants in a phase 3 trial in
Huntington's disease.
The London-listed neuroscience data-analytics company said
revenue relating to this trial and open-label extension studies in
Huntington's disease are a material component of its contracted
revenue across fiscal 2021 and future fiscal years to 2024. As a
result, there is a likelihood that the customer's decision will
hurt Ixico's performance, it said.
The maximum impact on revenue would be 2.7 million pounds ($3.7
million) for the remainder of the year to Sept. 30 and around GBP5
million in fiscal 2022, Ixico said.
The company said it is seeking clarification from its customer,
but said it still maintains a strong contracted order book totaling
more than GBP12 million excluding all potential revenue from this
trial.
Shares in Ixico at 1524 GMT were down 25% at 79.50 pence.
