Leap Therapeutics reports Q4 EPS (11c), consensus (11c)

"Over the past year, we advanced DKN-01, our anti-DKK1 antibody, into its first randomized controlled clinical trial in gastric cancer, entered into the new indication of colorectal cancer, and facilitated an endometrial cancer investigator-sponsored trial. We enhanced Leap’s pipeline and financial strength through the acquisition of Flame Biosciences, which included FL-301, a clinical stage anti-Claudin18.2 antibody, preclinical programs targeting Claudin18.2/CD137 and GDF15, as well as approximately $50 million in cash," said Douglas E. Onsi, President and Chief Executive Officer of Leap. "In 2023, we are focused on executing our development plan for DKN-01 by completing enrollment in Part C of the DisTinGuish study and Part A of the DeFianCe study, with the objective of presenting new data over the course of the year and identifying a new strategic partner as data is generated. Our plan for our Claudin18.2 and GDF15 programs is to generate additional preclinical data to differentiate these antibodies from their competitors and to prepare for future clinical trials, while our collaborator continues a monotherapy study of FL-301 in China. We are looking forward and fully committed to our mission to acquire and develop a pipeline of biomarker-focused antibody therapies for cancer patients."
