In other recent news, iTeos Therapeutics has been a subject of discussion following the release of interim results from their Phase 2 study A2A-005. The study, which evaluated inupadenant in combination with platinum-doublet chemotherapy, showed a 63.9% objective response rate (ORR) among the 36 evaluated patients. However, the treatment emerged adverse events (TRAEs) of grade 3 or higher were significant, affecting 64% of the overall patient group.
In light of these findings, iTeos Therapeutics has decided not to continue the development of inupadenant, as it does not demonstrate sufficient clinical activity to justify further investment. Meanwhile, H.C. Wainwright adjusted its outlook on iTeos Therapeutics, reducing the price target to $21 from the previous $46, while maintaining a Buy rating on the company’s stock.
Despite the setback with inupadenant, H.C. Wainwright remains optimistic about iTeos’ future, particularly with belrestotug (bel), which they identify as a major value driver. The firm anticipates further clinical updates in 2025, including from the Phase 2 GALAXIES Lung-201 study, which is evaluating belrestotug in combination with dostarlimab to treat PD-L1-high NSCLC. These are some of the recent developments surrounding iTeos Therapeutics.
