Jason Zemansky has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors surrounding Arcus Biosciences’ recent data release. The initial results from the combination of casdatifan with cabozantinib in renal cell carcinoma showed promising efficacy and tolerability. However, despite these positive indicators, there are still uncertainties that make it challenging to fully assess the commercial potential of the treatment.
Furthermore, while the objective response rate was impressive, the limited follow-up and the exceptionally fit patient population raise questions about the generalizability of the results. Additionally, safety concerns remain, with certain adverse events being more prevalent compared to benchmarks. These factors, combined with the competitive landscape and the need for more clarity on the treatment’s opportunity, have led Zemansky to maintain a Neutral stance on the stock.
