Jason McCarthy’s rating is based on the promising developments in CERo Therapeutics Holdings’ clinical trials. The company has recently dosed the first patient in their Phase 1/1b study of CER-1236, a novel cell therapy for acute myeloid leukemia (AML), which marks a significant milestone. The trial protocol will be presented at the American Society for Clinical Oncology, highlighting the innovative approach of CER-1236 that combines T-cell co-stimulatory domains and the phagocytic receptor TIM-4.
The novel mechanism of CER-1236, which involves both phagocytosis and traditional cytotoxic T cell mechanisms, is seen as a derisking factor due to its structural similarity to approved CAR-T therapies. The early-stage results are eagerly anticipated, as the therapy could potentially demonstrate efficacy with only a few patients, similar to the initial successes of CD19 CAR therapies in late-stage hematological cancers. This potential for significant impact in a high-need area of oncology underpins McCarthy’s Buy rating.
