Aura Biosciences: Bringing Not-Quite-Viruses Closer To Fruition In Cancer

Summary Aura Biosciences has continued its long work on bel-sar in cancers of the eye, bringing to bear some very interesting signals. While they have sufficient funding for now, their own timelines to a phase 3 readout suggest they will face a cash crisis well in advance of topline, pivotal data. I am upgrading AURA stock to a "hold" sentiment based on a more favorable timeline, but not a buy due to severe risks of failure of their trials. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

Aura Biosciences: Highly Derisked Late-Stage Eye Cancer Company

Summary Aura Biosciences' lead asset, bel-sar, shows promising Phase 2 results for choroidal melanoma, with 80% tumor control and 90% vision preservation. Bel-sar's SPA designation by the FDA and its excellent safety profile position it favorably against current treatments like radiotherapy. Aura's financials are solid with a $499.53mn market cap and $187mn cash, providing a runway for its Phase 3 trial and additional studies. Despite minor cash risks, Aura's strong data, unmet medical need focus, and solid execution make it a compelling biotech investment. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

Aura gains as JMP starts with Bullish view citing treatment platform

Aura Biosciences (NASDAQ:AURA) is trading higher in the morning hours Tuesday after JMP Securities issued an Outperform rating as it started coverage on the clinical-stage biotech citing its novel therapeutic platform. The virus-like drug conjugates (VDC) platform Aura (AURA) is advancing “could establish a new standard of care in multiple cancer indications,” the analyst Jonathan Wolleben wrote with an DCF-derived price target of $26 per share for the stock. The firm highlights Aura’s (AURA) VDC candidate, AU-011, which is undergoing studies for choroidal melanoma, the commonest primary ocular cancer in adults, according to the analyst. In addition, JMP notes that Phase 2 data expected in the fall for AU-011 should de-risk the pivotal trial for the candidate scheduled to start later this year. In March, Aura (AURA) announced that the European Commission issued orphan drug designation for AU-011 as a treatment for several conditions of uveal melanoma, including choroidal melanoma.
