Here's Why You Should Buy Acrivon Therapeutics (ACRV) Stock
Read MoreHide Full Article
Acrivon Therapeutics (ACRV - Free Report) is a precision oncology company that has seen significant progress across its proprietary Acrivon Predictive Precision Proteomics (AP3) platform in 2024.
Acrivon Therapeutics achieved statistically significant prospective validation of its AP3 patient selection approach via its ACR-368 OncoSignature assay. This assay demonstrated an ability to identify ovarian and endometrial patients sensitive to ACR-368 monotherapy.
Its lead pipeline candidate, ACR-368/prexasertib, a CHK1/2 inhibitor, is being developed in phase II studies across multiple tumor types. In April, the company reported initial positive clinical data from a phase II study of ACR-368 for patients with locally advanced or metastatic, recurrent platinum-resistant ovarian cancer or endometrial adenocarcinoma. The study demonstrated an initial combined overall confirmed response rate of 50%, exceeding the clinical bar, which the company thinks is required to improve over standard of care.
Acrivon Therapeutics’ stock has risen 61.6% year to date against a decrease of 9.3% for the industry.
