Yi Chen has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors including Barinthus Biotherapeutics’ strategic focus on immunology and inflammation, particularly the development of VTP-1000 for celiac disease. The company is progressing with its Phase 1 AVALON trial, which is expected to yield data in the third quarter of 2025. This trial is significant as it evaluates the potential of VTP-1000, an innovative antigen-specific tolerance immunotherapy, to promote immune tolerance to gluten through a novel delivery method.
Additionally, the positive outcomes from the Phase 2 trials of VTP-300 in chronic hepatitis B further support the Buy rating. The promising results, including functional cures and seroconversions, highlight the potential of Barinthus’ pipeline. Furthermore, with a strong cash position projected to sustain operations into 2027, the company is well-positioned financially to advance its clinical programs and explore strategic partnerships.
