In other recent news, Compass Therapeutics has made significant strides in its clinical programs, particularly with its drug candidate tovecimig. The company has initiated a new clinical trial for biliary tract cancer (BTC) at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, with the first patient already dosed. This trial aims to evaluate tovecimig in combination with a standard treatment regimen for BTC, focusing on progression-free survival and safety. Additionally, Compass Therapeutics announced positive results from its COMPANION-002 Phase 2/3 trial, where tovecimig combined with paclitaxel showed a statistically significant improvement in overall response rate compared to paclitaxel alone.

H.C. Wainwright has maintained its Buy rating and $24 price target for Compass Therapeutics, reflecting confidence in the potential of tovecimig. The firm highlighted the recent advancements in Compass’s clinical trials as a significant factor in its endorsement. Similarly, Leerink Partners upgraded Compass Therapeutics’ stock rating from Market Perform to Outperform, raising the price target to $6.00. This upgrade was influenced by the company’s ongoing clinical programs and future milestones, such as the anticipated Phase 2 study for CTX-471 in mid-2025.

Compass Therapeutics’ research efforts also include CTX-471, which targets CD137 in solid tumors and has shown potential in preclinical studies. The company is actively developing its pipeline, with future trials planned for other candidates like CTX-8371 and CTX-10726. These developments underscore Compass Therapeutics’ commitment to advancing oncology treatments and reflect positively on its growth prospects, as highlighted by analyst firms.
