Bicara Therapeutics Looks To Reclaim Some Of The Spotlight From Merus
MRUS initially surged on superior interim trial data while BCAX tanked, but BCAX has since rebounded post-ASCO as investors reconsider the data and target market. BCAX targets the tougher HPV-negative head and neck cancer segment, representing 80% of cases, and boasts a higher complete response rate than MRUS. Despite analyst preference for MRUS, BCAX's durability argument and deep response rates could drive long-term value if validated in future studies.
