Sam Slutsky has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight Olema Pharmaceuticals’ promising advancements and potential in the treatment of ER+ breast cancer. The company is preparing to present significant data from their Phase 1b/2 study at the ESMO conference, showcasing the efficacy of their complete estrogen receptor antagonist and selective estrogen receptor degrader, palazestrant, in combination with ribociclib. The study results have shown a median progression-free survival of 13.8 months in patients receiving this treatment, which is particularly noteworthy given the heavily pretreated nature of the patient population.
Moreover, Olema’s strategic focus on both heavily pretreated and frontline ER+ breast cancer patients positions them well in the competitive landscape of breast cancer therapies. The anticipated mature dataset from their ongoing study could further validate their approach and potentially lead to broader applications in first-line settings. Additionally, the company’s financial health, with a cash runway of approximately two years, supports continued research and development efforts, underpinning the Buy rating by providing a stable foundation for future growth.
According to TipRanks, Slutsky is a 4-star analyst with an average return of 8.6% and a 35.00% success rate. Slutsky covers the Healthcare sector, focusing on stocks such as Abivax SA Sponsored ADR, Cogent Biosciences, and DBV Technologies SA – American.
In another report released yesterday, Oppenheimer also reiterated a Buy rating on the stock with a $22.00 price target.
