Is Beaten-Down Summit Therapeutics Stock a Bad-News Buy?
The Motley Fool· 2025-06-02 09:23
Core Viewpoint - Summit Therapeutics' stock experienced a significant decline of over 30% due to disappointing results from the Harmoni trial of ivonescimab, a bispecific antibody aimed at treating lung cancer [1][2]. Group 1: Clinical Trial Results - The Harmoni trial aimed to evaluate ivonescimab in second-line lung cancer patients, showing a 48% reduction in disease progression risk but failing to demonstrate a statistically significant overall survival benefit [6]. - The treatment reduced the risk of death by 21%, but the results were just outside the 95% confidence interval with a p-value of 0.057, indicating a lack of convincing evidence for overall survival [6][7]. - The FDA is unlikely to approve ivonescimab in the U.S. based on these trial results, as a statistically significant overall survival benefit is required for approval [7]. Group 2: Market Context and Comparisons - Keytruda, a leading treatment for lung cancer, generated $29.5 billion in sales last year, setting a high benchmark for any competing therapies like ivonescimab [9]. - Despite the lack of overall survival data, ivonescimab's ability to shrink tumors suggests potential for future success in different patient populations [9][11]. - The stock of Summit Therapeutics finished May with a market cap exceeding $13.5 billion, despite having no sales and only one candidate in its pipeline [12]. Group 3: Investment Considerations - The lack of convincing overall survival data for ivonescimab diminishes the likelihood of it achieving blockbuster sales, even if it eventually receives FDA approval [11][13]. - Investors may face challenges ahead, as expectations remain high despite the uncertain path for ivonescimab [11].
