1. $TRIL 'most loved by buyside'
2. $TGTX small note in JPM's OW initiation
3. $IMAB's TJC4 data by YE2020; combo PD-1 trial with Keytruda in NHL; 'highly differentiated'
4. Innovent IBI-188 moving into pivotal, post US/China Ph1 trials

I know biotech is high-risk but it is ABSOLUTELY INSANE for traders to be shorting humanity to make a few $. $XBI has been way undervalued and many biotech companies market cap are now under cash equivalent. We need to keep these biotech companies alive so there are knowledge
Missing from all this $YMTX noise is the fact that they still haven’t defined RP2D nor have they provided firm guidance on a Ph2 start/design
Argue all you want about the drug, but this has been a masterclass in abysmal time management
$IONS ATS abstract shows 4.5% delta in FEV1 vs. pbo for 100mg at 4 weeks.
Pretty meh and expecting tapering of FEV1 at 6 months. Could dose up due to ok safety? Recall: Ph1/2 showed 56% ENaC mRNA reduction at 75mg.
$ARWR ARO-ENaC data end of Q2.
we need to limit the yapping on these conference calls - if you can’t describe the data and handle questions in an hour you need to practice more in the mirror, we’ve got other shit to do
$OLMA San Antonio abstracts released tomorrow AM, so here’s a brief thread on expectations and how to contextualize the data

OP-1250 need to score in their Ph1 ER+/HER2 in mBC?

$MIST this was trading <$2 in July 2020 before FDA alignment on new primary & trial design. improved HR (2.62 vs. 1.87) likely from ability to re-dose and clean safety - congrats to Joe,
@hasija_amit
and team!

"This study, together with our recently completed NODE-301 study, which will also now use a 30 minute endpoint, will serve to fulfill the efficacy requirements for a New Drug Application (NDA) for etripamil in PSVT"
Wow huge news for $MIST - bullish
GS expecting onc/imm to remain in the spotlight for biotech M&A in 2021.
End of decade loss of exclusivity for $BMY (Revlimid 2022; Eliquis 2026; Opdivo 2028), $MRK (Keytruda 2028), and $PFE (Ibrance/Eliquis 2026) likely to drive M&A activity.
$LRMR very clear FDA wants lower doses (note: no clarity on 25/50 mgs from Carole, so I'll take the former) and LRMR will try to dose for longer to make up the difference -- based on these and other data, why is this bullish?
$INFI if I were mgmt I would have highlighted the UC survival data which clearly show that drug is active, and how that would be used as a registrational endpoint

expect a deluge of far more interesting PRs/filings tomorrow
$SESN Probably nothing, but this is a new forward looking statement - perhaps what they were discussing at their late-cycle meeting? h/t
@whatprobability
They did run a study showing comparability back in Dec 2020, but odd that the language was just added now
$APLS Citron unveils a major investigation—prioritizing public interest over mere valuation. Last Friday, 83% of attendees at American Academy of Ophthalmology found the use of Syfovre as “not acceptable”. We expect a warning label. Beyond the meeting, wait until you see

just proved that TradBio is a dying breed.
The ecosystem is finally becoming a polyculture with emergent and insurgent networks nucleated around DTC, Longevity, DeSci and of course Founder-Led/TechBio.
I’m calling the renewed sense of optimism b/acc aka bioacceleration.
