ALX Oncology reports Q4 EPS (42c), consensus (36c)

“Through strong execution of our targeted clinical development strategy in 2025, we have positioned ourselves to achieve multiple significant catalysts in the clinical programs for evorpacept and ALX2004, two potentially best- and first-in-class agents, in the coming 12 to 18 months,” said Jason Lettmann, Chief Executive Officer at ALX Oncology (ALXO). “We are particularly pleased that recent topline biomarker data from the Phase 1b/2 trial evaluating evorpacept with zanidatamab in advanced HER2-positive breast cancer reinforce findings from the ASPEN-06 HER2-positive gastric cancer trial, suggesting that CD47 is a predictive biomarker for evorpacept response. These findings strengthen our confidence in the ongoing Phase 2 ASPEN-09-Breast trial, where we will evaluate patient responses by CD47 level to further define the predictive potential of this biomarker among patients with HER2-positive disease that has progressed following ENHERTU.”
