NuCana Posts 2025 Results, Highlights NUC-7738 Progress and Cash Runway Into 2029

Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

Nucana ( (NCNA) ) has shared an update.

NuCana on March 19, 2026 reported its fourth quarter and full-year 2025 results, highlighting clinical progress with its ProTide-based oncology pipeline and a strengthened balance sheet. The company said NUC-7738 showed encouraging safety and clinical activity in late-2025 Phase 2 NuTide:701 data in PD-1 inhibitor-resistant metastatic melanoma, and it aims to complete patient enrollment in the Phase 2 expansion and report final data in 2026 while seeking U.S. FDA regulatory guidance on a potential registrational path in melanoma.

Management also noted it is evaluating additional indications and combinations for NUC-7738 and refining development strategy for NUC-3373, supported by the appointment of a new chief operating officer to drive pipeline execution. NuCana ended 2025 with £24.3 million in cash and cash equivalents after May and July 2025 financings and warrant restructuring, and it expects this cash runway to fund planned operations into 2029 despite a wider 2025 net loss driven by non-cash warrant revaluation, professional fees, and higher share-based payment expenses.

The most recent analyst rating on (NCNA) stock is a Sell with a $2.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Nucana stock, see the NCNA Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on NCNA Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, NCNA is a Neutral.

The score is driven primarily by weak financial performance (no revenue, continued losses, and negative cash flow despite low leverage). Technicals add pressure with a bearish trend (below key moving averages and negative MACD). Valuation offers limited support due to a negative P/E and no dividend yield.
