What are Wall Street analysts saying about Aduro BioTech stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Aduro BioTech stock:
- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Aduro has a broad, promising pipeline of novel immunotherapies under development for treatment of different forms of cancers. The company’s collaboration agreements with large pharma companies — Novartis and Johnson & Johnson — not only validate the company’s research platforms but also enhance its financial position, providing it with adequate funds. However, with no approved products in Aduro’s portfolio, the company heavily depends on funds generated from collaboration and license agreements, government grants as well as other payments for the development of its pipeline candidates. Thus, an inability to secure sufficient funding could hinder Aduro’s pipeline progress. Shares of the company have outperformed the industry in the year so far." (7/4/2018)
- 2. Cantor Fitzgerald analysts commented, "ADRO shares are trading up modestly on the disclosure of a $3 million milestone from MRK’s (Merck, NC) initiation of a Phase I trial with the anti- CD27 candidate." (3/5/2018)
- 3. HC Wainwright analysts commented, "All Three Platforms Now Clinical Stage; We Have High Expectations for B-Select Platform B-select investment starts bearing clinical stage candidates. Aduro announced the expected initiation of a Phase 1/2 clinical trial with its anti-APRIL antibody, BION-1301. This two part, open-label study, is being conducted in relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma patients (at least three prior systemic therapies). Once the recommended Phase 2 dose is identified in part 1, patients are to be expanded at the selected dose with the primary endpoint of overall response rate. The APRIL/BCMA pathway was also a hot topic at the recent ASH conference as an encouraging new target against myeloma. A proliferation inducing ligand (APRIL) is one of the main high affinity ligands that binds and activates BCMA resulting in a pro-survival cell signal. APRIL is a member of the TNF family and is overexpressed in patients with multiple myeloma (MM)." (12/13/2017)
