Why Is Aravive Stock Sinking Today?
Portfolio Pulse from Vandana Singh
Aravive Inc's shares have plummeted after its Phase 3 AXLerate-OC trial for batiraxcept in platinum-resistant ovarian cancer failed to meet its primary endpoint. The trial showed no difference between the two arms in the overall population. The company will continue to evaluate the complete dataset and determine the next steps in developing batiraxcept. William Blair analysts have downgraded Aravive shares to a Market Perform rating due to a lack of significant upcoming clinical milestones and limited cash runway.
