Reason
Piper Sandler analyst Kelsey Goodwin initiated coverage of Bicara Therapeutics with an Overweight rating and $36 price target. The firm's channel checks highlighted a favorable view on Bicara's patient selection strategy for the pivotal FORTIFi-HN01, ficera's potentially differentiated mDOR, the importance of continued follow-up in relapsed metastatic head and neck squamous cell cancer, and the overall perception that the large market will likely be split longer term, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Piper sees the recent pullback as offering a highly attractive entry point.

About BCAX
Bicara Therapeutics Inc. is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company committed to bringing transformative bifunctional therapies to patients with solid tumors. Its lead program, ficerafusp alfa, is a bifunctional antibody that combines two clinically validated targets, an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), directed monoclonal antibody with a domain that binds to human transforming growth factor beta (TGF-b). Through this dual-targeting mechanism, ficerafusp alfa has the potential to exert potent anti-tumor activity by simultaneously blocking both cancer cell-intrinsic EGFR survival and proliferation and the immunosuppressive TGF-b signaling within the tumor microenvironment. Ficerafusp alfa is initially being developed in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, where there remains a significant unmet need. Its platform is designed to facilitate the development of bifunctional therapies that precisely target the tumor and deliver a tumor-modulating payload to the tumor site.
