In other recent news, Mural Oncology has seen significant developments in its board of directors and research. H.C. Wainwright recently initiated coverage on Mural Oncology, assigning a Buy rating based on the potential of Mural Oncology’s nemvaleukin alfa, an engineered interleukin-2 cytokine designed to enhance therapeutic effects and reduce harmful side effects. The firm anticipates multiple approvals in oncology for this class of treatments over the next five years.
The company recently appointed Sachiyo Minegishi and George Golumbeski to its board of directors. Minegishi, recognized as an independent director under Nasdaq rules, assumed her role as Chair of the Audit Committee and a member of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Golumbeski, a veteran in business development, also joined the board as an independent director.
Mural Oncology is expected to release interim overall survival data from the Phase 3 ARTISTRY-7 study, which combines nemvaleukin with pembrolizumab in patients with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer. This will be followed by top-line results from cohort 2 of the Phase 2 ARTISTRY-6 study in mucosal melanoma. The firm’s thesis is based on the high probability of nemvaleukin expanding to additional tumor types, supported by previous efficacy shown by Proleukin.
Mural Oncology is also advancing two preclinical programs toward candidate nomination later this year. As part of their compensation, both Minegishi and Golumbeski received an option to purchase over 15,000 ordinary shares at $3.38 per share, vesting over three years contingent upon continued service.
