Promising Clinical Data and Abscopal Effect Drive Buy Rating for Aura Biosciences Inc.

Promising Clinical Data and Abscopal Effect Drive Buy Rating for Aura Biosciences Inc.

TD Cowen analyst Phil Nadeau has maintained their bullish stance on AURA stock, giving a Buy rating yesterday.

Phil Nadeau has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors related to Aura Biosciences Inc’s promising clinical data. The updated results from the Phase I trial of bel-sar in non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) patients have shown strong efficacy, with a significant number of patients achieving complete responses after just a single low dose. This includes both intermediate and high-risk patients, which is a positive indicator of the drug’s potential effectiveness.
Additionally, the presence of immune cell infiltration in tumors and the resolution of non-target tumors suggest a possible abscopal effect, further supporting the drug’s potential. The ongoing Phase Ib/II trial, with initial data expected by the end of the year, adds to the optimism surrounding bel-sar’s development. These factors collectively underpin Nadeau’s confidence in the stock, justifying the Buy rating.

According to TipRanks, Nadeau is a 3-star analyst with an average return of 2.3% and a 42.15% success rate. Nadeau covers the Healthcare sector, focusing on stocks such as Vertex Pharmaceuticals, Biogen, and BioMarin Pharmaceutical.

In another report released yesterday, JMP Securities also reiterated a Buy rating on the stock with a $21.00 price target.
