The Q3 2026 update confirms the bota-vec MAA dossier is complete with EMA submission planned for December 2026 and the FDA BLA to follow in Q1 2027, ahead of a first commercial launch in late 2027. This de-risks the lead program timeline and points to upcoming regulatory catalysts. No quarterly revenue or loss figures are given, and the milestones were broadly expected, limiting the surprise.

Catalysts
  • ▲ MAA submission to the EMA planned for December 2026, subject to EMA confirmation of the submission date
  • ▲ Full BLA submission to the FDA expected in Q1 2027
Risk Factors
  • ▼ EMA submission date still requires confirmation and could slip
  • ▼ AQUAx2 data readout is not until mid-2027, and a negative result would undermine the second lead program
