I just want to remind everyone the key value of $JANX is not their PSA50 on their PSMA-TCE, nor the 100% tumor shrinkage in the NSCLC patient on their EGFR-TCE. It's their entire platform of developing clinically-validated masked-TCEs to enable tumor-specific immune responses

Happy to see how the new $ERAS compound plays out clinically. But by the time they start Ph1, $RVMD RMC6236 would have started 2 Ph3 already (scheduled Q4 2024). So either they can wish $RVMD fails but in Ph3, or they will have to go later lines

A random thought about $CTMX. While PDAC data is certainly interesting, it really depends on how $AMGN wrote the milestone/regulatory payment terms. If the terms are intended for CRC or pan-tumor, although PDAC opportunity is interesting, it can still screw $CTMX up big

1 key difference for $JANX & $CTMX EGFR-TCE is that $JANX has a cleavable albumin component that keep activated TCE half-life short -> widening therapeutic window. Unmasked $CTMX TCE can still have a long circulating half-life. I suspect that caused delays in dose escalation

In biotech, a common pitfall in target selection is not that the target doesn’t work. It’s that the target is too late. By the time a target is “validated”, it’s a crowded space and the most advanced drug is years ahead. And rarely do 5th-in-class+ drugs get handsomely rewarded.

@Leao_pel In addition to 3+ months to get all the reviewer feedbacks, it would take the editors another 3 months just to coordinate all comments and send a decision. Then 2 more rounds of review before rejecting the article. This is prohibitive of innovation and waste of resources

@Andre_AGTC I'm personally more in favor for $RVMD. RAS-ON inhibitor is game changer, both mutant-specific or pan-RAS. - Their G12C-ON shows great efficacy even on patients with prior G12Ci exposure - They are also the first to show clinical efficacy in G12D and G12V, unparalleled

While we are still looking forward for the masked-IL12/CTLA4 data from $XLO, the company started hiring many senior positions for clinical development, regulatory affairs, and alliance management. Guess what clinical data did they see? $XLO is currently ~$30m below cash

@MysteriousMole1 That wouldn't be a major concern for me personally. I think standard line-of-sight for EGFR-TCE market had always been NSCLC, HNSCC and CRC IMO. So totally fine for $JANX to yield to $CTMX for the PDAC market if it validates

@bio_clouseau I think in general they became more "secretive" for the past couple months. They used to show progress on TROP2-TCE / PDL1-CD28 programs on website. Now they took it off and put in more generic info as additional TCE / CD28 programs Not sure anything to do with M&A discussions

@NotJanetYellen7 If you are optimistic about $JANX and $LVTX, take a look on $XLO as well. They got some really cool tumor-selective checkpoint inhibitor and immune modulating cytokines ongoing, through masking strategy similar to $JANX. TCE in preclinical development.

$JANX -13% right now. $150m mixed shelf common stocks. While $150m dilution does not translate into -13% of market cap. Investors are probably thinking an immediate BO is not likely.

I just want to remind everyone the key value of $JANX is not their PSA50 on their PSMA-TCE, nor the 100% tumor shrinkage in the NSCLC patient on their EGFR-TCE. It's their entire platform of developing clinically-validated masked-TCEs to enable tumor-specific immune responses
