In other recent news, Piper Sandler, a notable investment bank, has provided an update on potential catalysts for biotechnology firms up to 2025, following a detailed examination of third-quarter 2024 earnings and year-end 2024 data. The firm has identified around 190 direct and over 150 indirect catalysts that could impact the firms it covers. Immunovant, Praxis Precision Medicines, and Prothena Corporation are forecasted to experience the most direct catalysts within the next 12 months, each presenting at least three significant data catalysts.

The report also highlights indirect catalysts that could positively impact companies, including GPCR Therapeutics, with its 19 oral GLP-1 indirect obesity catalysts, and NAMS with its indirect Lp(a) catalysts. These are expected to establish a link between Lp(a) lowering and a reduction in major adverse cardiac events, thereby improving the risk profile of obicetrapib's Phase 3 PREVAIL CVOT.

Moreover, the potential for relaxin-related treatments is covered, with four indirect catalysts in 2025 that could bolster confidence in TECX's TX45, a RXFP1 agonist. Piper Sandler has also identified six stocks with de-risked Phase 3 readouts or interim analyses expected in 2025, including aTYR Pharma, Cytokinetics (NASDAQ:CYTK), GOSS, Immunovant, Praxis Precision Medicines, and Prothena Corporation. These recent developments offer an interesting perspective on the future trajectory of these biotechnology firms.
