Bicara Therapeutics reports Q1 EPS (68c), consensus (40c)

“We continued to execute across our clinical programs in the first quarter, maintaining strong momentum as we advance FORTIFI-HN01, the pivotal Phase 2/3 trial of ficerafusp alfa in HPV-negative recurrent/metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma,” said Claire Mazumdar, PhD, MBA, Chief Executive Officer of Bicara Therapeutics (BCAX). “Near term, we look forward to presenting updated data from our ongoing Phase 1/1b clinical trial in this patient population as part of an oral presentation at the 2025 ASCO Annual Meeting. We believe the data have the potential to demonstrate differentiated depth and durability of response driven by the TGF-beta arm of ficerafusp alfa. Additionally, we recently presented several datasets at AACR highlighting the broad therapeutic potential of ficerafusp alfa, including translational data that support its potential to prevent resistance mechanisms and potentially prolong durability in HPV-negative patients.”
