Pliant Therapeutics: A Reverse Arbitrage Opportunity Driven By A Poison Pill Expiration

Summary Pliant Therapeutics trades at a deep discount to net cash after Bexotegrast's Phase 3 failure, with a $70M market cap versus $186M cash. Activist Kevin Tang holds 9.6%; given the 85%+ institutional base, the March 2026 poison pill expiration signals a potential liquidation or premium buyout. PLRX's cash burn has been slashed, extending runway to 2028, but continued independent operation is untenable; forced liquidation or cash privatization is highly likely in my opinion. I exploit negative EV and high implied volatility by selling cash-secured $1.00 puts expiring July 2026, targeting a >50% annualized return with limited downside.

Pliant Therapeutics: Strange Volatility

Summary Pliant Therapeutics paused its phase 2b/3 trial of bexotegrast for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis due to DSMB recommendations, causing significant stock volatility. High trading volumes and sharp stock declines occurred before the announcement, indicating potential insider activity, making PLRX highly risky for retail investors. The DSMB's rationale for pausing the trial remains unclear, with no major safety issues previously reported, adding to the uncertainty. PLRX has a cash runway of 5–6 quarters, but faces risks due to volatile stock movements and confusing trial data; I recommend avoiding PLRX. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

Pliant Therapeutics: Good Data, But Will Need Watching

Summary Pliant Therapeutics' stock initially surged, but has since fallen due to mixed trial results and competitive pressures. Bexotegrast showed promising results in IPF and PSC trials, but dose-response inconsistencies and competition raise concerns. Despite positive data, the stock's decline suggests market skepticism, further exacerbated by Novartis ending a partnership. With a cash runway of 5-6 quarters, PLRX needs clarity on regulatory plans and later-stage trial data before making investment decisions. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

Pliant Therapeutics: Wait For A Better Price To Get In

PLRX went up 200% on strong phase 2a data in IPF. Even a subsequent large dilution was unable to dampen enthusiasm. A better, more derisked price after next year's 320mg data drop will be a good time to buy in. I wrote about a small company named Pliant Therapeutics (PLRX) two years ago. Pliant interested me because despite being an under-the-radar company, it had important collaborations, and it worked in fibrotic diseases. In July, Pliant stock went up after data from a phase 2a trial - designed to test safety and tolerability - also showed the drug’s efficacy in improving forced vital capacity or FVC in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis patients. Although a trial of only 12 weeks may not be enough to convince scientists, and while there was confusion about dose dependent improvements because a smaller dose showed better efficacy than a higher one, Pliant stock has been on the rise. Data from a higher dosage cohort, coming next year, will help remove the confusion. Interestingly, Pliant’s own CEO once doubted that such a small trial will show FVC improvements. Pliant works in integrin-mediated inhibition of the TGF-β pathway, which reduces fibrosis and is safe. The science is described thus in the 10-K: We believe that tissue-specific inhibition of TGF-β may hold the key to successfully treating fibrosis. In normal tissues, TGF-β is activated in response to tissue injury which initiates a cascade that results in collagen production and, ultimately, scar formation to heal the tissue. In fibrosis, however, TGF-β signaling becomes dysregulated, with TGF-β being continuously activated, leading to excess collagen deposition, even in the absence of acute tissue injury. TGF-β, while implicated in fibrosis pathophysiology, is expressed, and intermittently activated across all tissue types and plays important, contextspecific roles in tissue homeostasis. Therefore, TGF-β cannot be blocked systemically without disrupting these homeostatic functions and causing significant toxicities. To treat fibrosis more precisely in specific tissues, we believe it is crucial to discover and treat the underlying mechanism causing excess TGF-β activation. Our scientific founders are pioneers in elucidating the role of specific extracellular receptors known as integrins as a key element in the activation of TGF-β. The company is running trials in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis or IPF and Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis or PSC. The product candidate is called PLN-74809. These are ongoing phase 2a trials with data to topline next year. Another candidate, PLN-1474, is being developed for NASH-Associated Liver Fibrosis in collaboration with Novartis (NVS). This year, the company announced data from a proof of concept trial. From the 10-K: In February 2022, we announced positive results from an expanded PLN-74809 Phase 1b proof-of-mechanism trial. This study evaluated PLN74809's ability to suppress TGF-β activation in the lungs of healthy volunteers as measured through relative pSmad2 levels in alveolar macrophages collected through bronchioalveolar lavage ((BAL)) at 6 hours and 24 hours after the last dose. The trial was conducted in two parts. Part 1 evaluated PLN-74809 at doses of 80 mg and 160 mg versus placebo and Part 2 evaluated PLN-74809 at 320 mg versus placebo. PLN-74809 demonstrated clear evidence of on-target biological activity in the lungs of healthy participants. Results showed that PLN-74809 inhibited TGF-β activation by up to 92% and 76% at 6- and 24-hours, respectively, following dosing. PLN-74809 was well tolerated with mostly mild adverse events, and no severe adverse events. There was no dose relationship associated with adverse events, no serious adverse events (SAEs) and no treatment discontinuations due to adverse events. This trial further defines the relationship between plasma exposure of PLN-74809 and TGF-β inhibition in the lung and will guide dose selection in future trials.

Pliant's PLN-74809 gets FDA fast track status for liver disease

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted fast track designation to Pliant Therapeutics' (NASDAQ:PLRX) PLN-74809 to treat primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC). PSC is a chronic liver disease in which the bile ducts — which carry the digestive fluid from the liver to the small intestine — become inflamed and scarred causing them to become hard and narrow leading to liver damage. People with PSC may also also have inflammatory bowel disease. The company said PLN-74809 is currently being tested as part of a phase 2a trial called  INTEGRIS-PSC, data from which is expected in H1 2023. PLRX +2.44% to $20.17 premarket July 21

Pliant climbs 48% as mid-stage trial for lung disease therapy meets key goals

The shares of clinical-stage biopharma Pliant Therapeutics (NASDAQ:PLRX) gained ~48% in the pre-market Monday after the company announced its mid-stage trial for PLN-74809 in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) reached key goals. The 90-patient Phase 2a multinational study met its primary and secondary endpoints indicating that the study drug was well tolerated over 12 weeks of treatment with a favorable pharmacokinetic profile, the company said. According to data, PLN-74809 demonstrated dose-dependent effects on forced vital capacity (FVC) and Quantitative Lung Fibrosis (QLF) imaging compared to placebo over 12 weeks. The drug was found to be safe across all three doses of 40 mg, 80 mg, and 160 mg, with 97% in the 67-patient active arm completing the treatment with no discontinuations due to adverse events, according to Pliant (PLRX). In the near-term, the company plans to submit the data to regulators targeting the late-stage development of PLN-74809. According to Seeking Alpha contributor Terry Chrisomalis, a major catalyst awaits Pliant (PLRX) investors in early next year.

Pliant: Major Catalyst Expected Beginning Of 2023

Results from the phase 2a INTEGRIS-PSC study using PLN-74809 for the treatment of patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis are expected 1st half of 2023. PLN-74809 is also being explored for the treatment of patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis; Preliminary safety and efficacy data was released in 5 poster presentations at medical conference. The global idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis market is expected to reach $4.7 billion by 2027. Other indications in the pipeline include NASH fibrosis, Oncology targets and muscular dystrophy as well which de-risk the pipeline.
