Red - I was wondering about that too and the only thing I can find is that The Naked Trader announced on Friday he'd sold his shares in Vectura.
As I commented on the Naked Trader thread, his buys and sells move the market quite dramatically nowadays.

Well that was certainly some dip, but I would have thought such a dramatic change would have prompted some comment from the company even if it was " we no of no reason ..."
Is the dip over & done I wonder!
Not a profitable company at present, but quite highly rated by some analysts.

QVA149 Phase III study meets primary endpoint
RNS
RNS Number : 0694L
Vectura Group plc
30 August 2012
QVA149 Phase III study meets primary endpoint in reducing exacerbations in COPD patients, filing in EU and Japan by end of year
· SPARK demonstrated QVA149 statistically significantly reduced rate of moderate-to-severe exacerbations compared to glycopyrronium 50 mcg1
· Study showed QVA149 statistically significantly reduced overall exacerbation rates compared to glycopyrronium 50 mcg and open-label tiotropium 18 mcg1
· SPARK is the final study of the IGNITE Phase III clinical trial program intended for initial regulatory filings
Chippenham, UK - 30 August 2012: Vectura Group plc ("Vectura"; LSE: VEC) confirms the information released today by Novartis that results from the fifth QVA149 (indacaterol maleate / glycopyrronium bromide) Phase III study, SPARK, met its primary endpoint of a reduced rate of moderate-to-severe COPD exacerbations compared toglycopyrronium bromide (Seebri® Breezhaler®)1. SPARK is the final study intended for initial regulatory filings of QVA149 in Europe and Japan, which are expected in Q4 2012. US filing of QVA149 is expected at the end of 2014. To date, the first five studies of the IGNITE QVA149 Phase III clinical trials program have all met their primary endpoints of efficacy, safety, exercise endurance, and reduction of exacerbations1-5.
SPARK met its primary endpoint by demonstrating that patients treated with once-daily (QD) investigational QVA149 for 64 weeks demonstrated a clinically meaningful and statistically significant lower rate of moderate-to-severe COPD exacerbations compared to patients treated with QD glycopyrronium 50 mcg (p=0.038)1. The study also showed that the rate of moderate-to-severe exacerbations was numerically lower (p=0.096) in patients on QVA149 compared to open-label (OL) tiotropium 18 mcg1.
A further analysis of the data demonstrated that QVA149 was statistically significantly more effective in reducing the overall rate of all exacerbations (mild, moderate and severe) compared to glycopyrronium 50 mcg (p=0.001) and OL tiotropium 18 mcg (p=0.002)1. The adverse event (AE) profile of QVA149 was similar to both glycopyrronium 50 mcg and OL tiotropium 18 mcg1.
The management of COPD exacerbations is important to both patients and physicians, as exacerbations can impose a significant burden of morbidity, mortality, reduced quality of life and healthcare costs6,7. Frequent exacerbations are linked to an accelerated decline in lung function8,9 and patients are also known to have a poorer quality of life10. Admissions to hospital due to exacerbations are increasing11 and patients with more severe underlying disease account for around 70% of the direct medical costs of COPD12.
SPARK was a 64-week, multi-center, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, active controlled study designed to evaluate the effect of QVA149 (indacaterol maleate 110 mcg / glycopyrronium 50 mcg) QD versus glycopyrronium 50 mcg and QD OL tiotropium 18 mcg on moderate-to-severe COPD exacerbations in 2,224 patients with severe to very severe COPD1.
QVA149 is an investigational inhaled, once-daily, fixed-dose combination of the long-acting beta2-adrenergic agonist (LABA) indacaterol maleate, and the investigational long-acting muscarinic antagonist (LAMA) glycopyrronium bromide, being investigated for the treatment of COPD in the Phase III IGNITE clinical trial program. IGNITE is one of the largest international clinical trial programs in COPD comprising 10 studies in total with more than 7,000 patients across 42 countries1-5,13-20. The first five studies (ILLUMINATE, SHINE, BRIGHT, ENLIGHTEN, SPARK) have already completed in 2012 with three additional studies (BLAZE, ARISE, BEACON) expected to complete by the end of the year. The studies are designed to investigate efficacy, safety and tolerability, exercise endurance, exacerbations, breathlessness and quality of life1-5,13-17.
Dr Chris Blackwell, Chief Executive of Vectura, commented:
"The SPARK study demonstrated a meaningful reduction in exacerbations in COPD patients; something that is of major benefit for patients and doctors and eases the burden of healthcare costs. We look forward to more detailed data from both glycopyrronium bromide (NVA237) and QVA149 at the upcoming European Respiratory Society meeting in Vienna in early September with the first filings for QVA149 expected in Europe and Japan by the end of this year."

VEC - Vectura Group
Vectura Group 86.00p +1.78%
LONDON (SHARECAST) - Shares of Cambridge-based Vectura rose after it confirmed the Japanese government has approved its Seebri inhalation capsules used in inhaler devices.
The treatment, which will be available to patients and physicians in Japan by year-end, will trigger a £2.5m milestone payment for Vectura from its partner Novartis.
"The Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) has approved Seebri (glycopyrronium bromide) Inhalation Capsules 50 mcg administered through the Breezhaler device, as a once-daily, long-term, inhaled maintenance bronchodilator treatment for the relief of various symptoms due to airway obstructive disease in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (chronic bronchitis and emphysema)," said Vectura in a company statement.
It is the first approval for glycopyrronium bromide (Seebri) in COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), with further approval expected in the EU in 2012, the group explained.
Vectura Chief Executive Dr Chris Blackwell commented: "The approval of Seebri Inhalation Capsules in Japan is an important event for Vectura, triggering a $2.5m milestone and further validation of our late stage respiratory platform."
"Seebri Inhalation Capsules provides doctors and patients with a much needed, once-daily, treatment option for COPD, a condition that can lead to death and is increasing in prevalence in Japan and worldwide

QVA149 is filed as a treatment for COPD in Europe
Chippenham, UK - 25 October 2012: Vectura Group plc ("Vectura"; LSE: VEC) confirms the information released today by Novartis that QVA149, (indacaterol maleate / glycopyrronium bromide) an investigational drug for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has been filed by Novartis for marketing authorisation with the European Medicines Agency (EMA), triggering a $5 million milestone payment to Vectura.
Novartis filed a marketing authorisation application to the EMA for QVA149, an investigational inhaled, once-daily, fixed-dose combination of indacaterol maleate and glycopyrronium bromide for the treatment of adult patients with COPD. The first five studies in the Phase III IGNITE clinical trial programme for QVA149 formed the basis of the filing. ILLUMINATE, SHINE, SPARK and BRIGHT met their respective superiority primary endpoints of FEV1 area under the curve (AUC) for 0-12 hours at 26 weeks versus salmeterol/fluticasone, mean trough FEV1 at 26 weeks versus both indacaterol maleate and glycopyrronium bromide, reduction in the rate of exacerbations versus glycopyrronium bromide, and exercise endurance time at 21 days versus placebo. The data from ENLIGHTEN demonstrated that QVA149 has a similar overall adverse event profile to placebo.
Dr Chris Blackwell, Chief Executive of Vectura, commented:
"The IGNITE programme is among the largest COPD clinical trial programmes performed, the results from which provide strong support as to the effectiveness and safety of QVA149 and its potential to treat patients suffering from this progressive disease, a multi-billion dollar market that is expected to see continued growth. Today's news follows the recent approval of Seebri® Breezhaler® in Europe and Canada and Seebri® Inhalation Capsules in Japan, further highlighting Vectura's expertise in the respiratory therapeutic area."

QVA149 marketing application filed in Japan
RNS
RNS Number : 5150Q
Vectura Group plc
07 November 2012
QVA149 marketing application filed in Japan for once-daily maintenance treatment of COPD
Chippenham, UK - 7 November 2012: Vectura Group plc ("Vectura"; LSE: VEC) confirms the information released today by Novartis Pharma K.K., announcing that it has submitted an application in Japan for the registration of QVA149, an investigational fixed dose combination of two long-acting inhaled bronchodilators (indacaterol maleate and glycopyrronium bromide) as a once-daily treatment for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
COPD is a chronic, progressive lung disease that is caused by the inhalation of harmful substances such as cigarette smoke over a long period. Its major symptoms include cough, sputum, and dyspnea on exertion. COPD not only greatly decreases the quality of life for patients, but is also a life-threatening disease because its symptoms progress and might eventually lead to respiratory failure.
The application for QVA149 was filed to the European Medicines Agency in October 2012 and the US application is planned for 2014.
Novartis also received approval for glycopyrronium bromide in Japan in September 2012 (SeebriÒInhalation Capsules, 50 mg), and was approved in the EU during the same month (under the trade name Seebri® Breezhaler®). The product has since been launched in Germany and the UK and approvals have also been granted in Canada and Australia.
Dr Chris Blackwell, Chief Executive of Vectura:
"QVA149 continues to make excellent progress with its potential to treat patients suffering from COPD. This disease is progressive and debilitating for sufferers."
