BioNxt shares have finally taken off. At the beginning of July, we last pointed out the opportunities offered by the Canadian-German life sciences company. Since then, the share price has risen by almost 100%, outperforming both the biotech index and investor favorites like BioNTech. However, this is likely to be just the beginning. In a conversation with the editorial team, management hinted at a strong news flow in the coming months. The Company is working flat out on its next-generation platforms to revolutionize drug delivery. For example, syringes and tablets are to be replaced by dissolvable films and transdermal patches. This not only makes BioNxt a prime acquisition candidate, but with a market capitalization of just CAD 100 million, the Company still appears to be anything but expensive.

    Focus on platform for patient-centered drug delivery

    Before diving into recent news and the forward outlook, here is a brief overview of BioNxt Solutions. The Canadian-German life sciences company specializes in innovative drug delivery systems. The BioNxt platform encompasses a wide range of delivery methods, including oral dissolvable films, transdermal patches, and advanced tablet formulations. A new approach to chemotherapy is also very promising, in which cancer drugs are delivered directly to the tumor, reducing side effects and improving efficacy. Overall, BioNxt aims not only to enhance bioavailability, but also to increase treatment adherence by making it easier to take medication – an important factor in chronic diseases. With its combination of pharmaceutical innovation, international patent strategy, and clinical development, BioNxt is positioning itself in a market segment that offers significant growth potential in the coming years. In addition, the Company is increasingly being viewed as a potential takeover candidate - a perspective reinforced by a promising flow of news and developments.

    July 23: Prototype with cladribine successfully formulated

    In July, BioNxt announced the successful development of a prototype of its lead product, BNT23001, a melt film formulation containing the active ingredient cladribine for the treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS). Initial tests showed stable drug loading, consistent quality, and rapid film disintegration—key factors for subsequent approval. For example, MS patients often suffer from difficulty swallowing and therefore have problems with conventional tablets such as Merck's Mavenclad. A dissolvable film formulation could therefore be of great interest. In parallel, BioNxt is working on a comprehensive IP strategy to secure patent protection in Europe, the US and Canada.

    August 5: Progress in patent granting in Europe and Eurasia

    Just a few weeks later, the next piece of good news followed: Both the European Patent Office and the Eurasian Patent Organization confirmed the core claims of BioNxt's oral dissolvable film technology. This clears the way for early approval in several regions, opening up exclusivity and licensing opportunities for the Company. In addition to the cladribine formulation, the patent also covers the use of chemotherapeutic agents in neurological autoimmune diseases. BioNxt has also entered the national phase of the international PCT application process in key markets such as the US, Japan and Australia.

    August 20: Platform patent and accelerated US procedure

    Last week, there was a real bombshell in the US: First, BioNxt filed its US patent application for BNT23001 under the accelerated "Track One" procedure. This means that a patent could be granted within a year. This would have a very positive impact on clinical development and subsequent commercialization.

    Second, a comprehensive "umbrella patent" at the platform level was confirmed, which secures the oral dissolvable film technology beyond cladribine for a variety of indications and active ingredients. This patent is valid until well into the 2040s, providing BioNxt with extensive protection in a billion-dollar market.

    Outlook: Important data and partnerships expected

    BioNxt is facing a pivotal few months. In an update meeting with the editorial team, BioNxt management gave a positive outlook. Exciting news is expected in the coming months. This concerns both research results and patents for the platform, in a wide range of countries and for new indications. Among other things, the Company plans to present data from a preclinical pharmacokinetic study before the end of this year. This could be decisive for regulatory submissions and potential partnerships.

    Shares still inexpensive and strong chart

    Given the positive backdrop, it's no surprise that the stock has gained momentum. In recent weeks, BioNxt has outperformed both the Nasdaq Biotech Index and investor favorites like BioNTech. With a market capitalization of around CAD 100 million, BioNxt remains anything but expensive. This is particularly true when considering the potential value the platform could unlock for Big Pharma.

    The stock market has started 2026 on a positive note. The mining and commodities sector recently proved that return opportunities are not limited to the technology sector, with several stocks doubling in price and a few even increasing tenfold. A breath of fresh air is needed, because other sectors also want to enjoy the stock market spring. Life science stocks have indeed taken a break for almost three years. But now they are back! After a long period of silence, selected companies are showing the first signs of a technical recovery. For investors with a penchant for opportunities and timing, now is the time to rethink old strategies and realign portfolios. In cancer research, recent breakthroughs in personalized immunotherapies have significantly increased the prospects of success for clinical trials. We take a closer look.

    The hunt for the cancer pill from BioNTech & Co.: Why Eli Lilly's billion-dollar bet is a wake-up call for Vidac Pharma

    • Cancer

    It is one of the oldest rules in the biotech sector: when the big pharmaceutical companies can no longer grow on their own, they open their coffers. The latest billion-dollar deal between US giant Eli Lilly and Dresden-based startup Seamless Therapeutics is more than just a headline – it is a wake-up call for the entire industry. Eli Lilly, now one of the most valuable companies in the world, is desperately seeking innovations to secure its pipeline beyond its booming weight-loss injections. This hunger for new mechanisms of action inevitably focuses attention on small, specialized companies researching revolutionary approaches. In this environment, Vidac Pharma is becoming the focus of strategic investors. The Company is working on an approach that is as elegant as it is radical: it aims to starve cancer rather than poison it by manipulating its metabolism. While Eli Lilly and BioNTech are spreading their billions across a wide range of areas, Vidac is delivering precisely the kind of specialized "deep science" that is often lacking in the pipelines of the big players.
