Charles Zhu has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight Crescent Biopharma’s promising pipeline and strategic positioning in the oncology market. The company is on track with its investigational new drug (IND) submissions for CR-001 and CR-002, which are expected to be significant contributors to its growth. CR-001, a PD-1 x VEGF bispecific, has shown cooperative pharmacology in preclinical studies, enhancing T-cell activation and potentially offering a competitive edge similar to ivonescimab.
Additionally, Crescent Biopharma’s management has expressed confidence in their operational readiness and the positive reception from investigators globally, which bodes well for future clinical trials. The company’s engagement with multiple global sites and the enthusiasm for their PD-1 x VEGF class further support the potential for success. With a robust cash position and strategic development plans, Crescent Biopharma is well-positioned to capitalize on opportunities in the fragmented oncology market, justifying the Buy rating.
