Piper Sandler Maintains Overweight on Edgewise Therapeutics, Raises Price Target to $51

CANYON Phase 2 placebo-controlled trial in adults with Becker : CANYON, the largest interventional Becker trial to date, includes 40 adults and 29 adolescents with a sevasemten treatment period of 12 months. The primary endpoint of CANYON is change in creatine kinase (CK) over the treatment period with additional measures collected, including North Star Ambulatory Assessment (NSAA), 100-meter timed test, biomarkers of muscle damage and MRI. The Company expects to report CANYON data in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Kiwi

New high following presentation
Topline data from CANYON is anticipated in 4Q24

Phase 2 trial in adults with Becker

Kiwi

From IBD ....The biotech company tested its drug, EDG-7500, in healthy volunteers and patients with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. In this disease, a genetic mutation causes the heart ventricles to thicken. This limits cardiac function and exercise capacity.

After a single dose, patients showed improved blood flow from the left ventricle. But sometimes drugs can do their job too well, suppressing cardiac function — a measure known as reduced left ventricular ejection fraction, or LVEF. But patients didn't show meaningful reductions in LVEF.. my emphasis


Kiwi

RMB Gr8 data ...especially . Importantly, gradient reduction was achieved without a meaningful change in LVEF
So maybe no REMS limitation

I used to own CYTK and think I sold it because of this ...from the CYTK trial Core echocardiographic left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was observed to be

Thanks for all the info Kiwi. Been a long busy day so I will have to do some more DD on this one but it appears to be promising. The fact that the drug does not have the ejection fraction problem is important in my books. This could be another CYTK. My one worry is that it has had quite a sunup in 2024 already and hopefully not everything is priced in yet.

Before EWTX there was MYOK in HCM ...bt out at $225 a share .
EWTX hired some MYOK folks after this buyout

Kiwi

Watch for a technical breakout as market anticipates the P1 HCM data
Mavacamten is I think the drug currently approved for HCM ( heart contractibility problems ) . The problem is it lowers ejection fraction ( the pump out movement ) to low for about 20% of the patients so it has a REMS rating limiting its use.
EWTX EDG-5506 works the same way but without the ejection fraction problem

Data due this Qt ( Q3 )

Kiwi

Piper Sandler analyst Yasmeen Rahimi maintains Edgewise Therapeutics ( EWTX ) with a Overweight and maintains $48 price target.

Kiwi

RMB. some HCM P1 data due late Aug / Sept ...
Kiwi

RMB. I think we are due for data from the LYNX trial
, Edgewise Therapeutics expects to report 3-month data from the Phase 2 LYNX trial for EDG-5506 in the second quarter of 2024. The LYNX trial is a Phase 2 dose-ranging study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of EDG-5506 in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD).

New high today

RMB. for what its worth ...both stocks I mentioned are now "technically " over bought ...so some pull back near term is likely
jmo
Kiwi

RMB. EWTX up 21 % in past week. ( since your post )
VERA ,,,which I think U saw me posting on at the AUPH board ...up 28%
Both I think at 52 wk highs

Usually I find it best to initiate small positions ...follow ..and then if the data still looks good , add on a pullback due to some unrelated event .
Both of these Co's have a lot of data coming out in 2024

RMB. You might look at TNYA also ...similar space. Ceo is one very smart guy and is backed by the Column group ( smart team )
Early days tho .
EWTX is far further along

BOTH are high speculative ...so.....etc
Kiwi

Kiwi you have peaked my interest in EWTX

The opportunity seems to be here, but I will try to exhibit something I rarely do, namely; patience.

It has risen a bunch in a short time and I hope to pick some up after a bit of a retracement.

EWTX. Best Co I've seen in this area since MYOK ...which was eventually bt out .
Kiwi

Impressive presentation at JPM 2024 . Fast tracked but the earliest they are likely to have an approved drug is early 2026...if all goes well
