Tyler Van Buren has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors surrounding Zentalis Pharmaceuticals’ ongoing clinical trials and promising preliminary results. The initiation of patient dosing in the pivotal DENALI Part 2 trial for PROC is a significant step forward, with expectations of improved efficacy in healthier patients compared to the standard-of-care chemotherapy. The anticipated topline data by the end of 2026 could potentially support accelerated approval, which is a positive indicator for the company’s stock.
Moreover, the consistent and favorable outcomes from previous trials, such as the Phase Ia, MAMMOTH, and DENALI trials, have shown a higher overall response rate and longer median duration of response compared to standard chemotherapy. These results, combined with a manageable safety profile, suggest a strong competitive position for Zentalis. The planned confirmatory Phase III trial further underscores the potential for regulatory approval, which could enhance the company’s market prospects and justify the Buy rating.
