On May 27, Akeso Inc rose 3.03% in regular trading, trading at 115.7 HKD/share, with trading volume of HKD 260 million. The stock notably outperformed most peers in the biotech sector, which traded broadly weaker on the same day.
On the news front, the ASCO Annual Meeting is set to open on May 29, and Akeso's core product ivonescimab (PD-1/VEGF bispecific antibody) HARMONi-6 study has been selected for a plenary session oral presentation, where overall survival data will be disclosed. This marks the first time a China-originated First-in-Class drug has been featured in the ASCO plenary session, generating strong market anticipation for the upcoming clinical readout.
It is worth noting that Akeso's share price has pulled back over 25% from its prior high following the disappointing HARMONi-3 global Phase III interim analysis, in which the squamous cell carcinoma cohort failed to meet the pre-specified statistical significance threshold for progression-free survival. The current rally reflects pre-event positioning ahead of the critical academic window.
