Lately, I was bit optimistic (more than regularly for bio-biologic) for SGEN, mostly due to new P3 cancer stage drug candidate for AML, vadastuximab talirine:

It is in direct completion with ABBV Venclexta (ABT-199, oral BCL-2 inhibitor), which got "breakthrough designation' for AML with ~75% response rate (P1b):

SGEN reported also ~75% response rate at EU-ASH, which is comparable to Venclextra, and may also obtain "Breakthrough designation" for naive AML. The differentiation will be (IF any) in subtle details.




Awaiting AML update from US-ASH in San Diego, but do think maybe there is bigger opportunity for CD33A candidate (expression on other cancer type)?
