Kostas Biliouris has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight Verve Therapeutics’ promising prospects. The clinical data from Verve’s innovative delivery technology, particularly VERVE-102, has exceeded expectations in terms of safety and efficacy. The treatment shows minimal impact on liver function tests and platelets, indicating a broad therapeutic window. Furthermore, the impressive LDL-C lowering effect of VERVE-102, with a 0.6mpk dose achieving a 53% reduction, suggests potential for even greater efficacy with higher doses.
Additionally, the modifications in VERVE-102 to address previous adverse events have resulted in a clean safety profile, with no significant treatment-related adverse events observed. This positions the company well for future advancements and partnerships. The strong efficacy data, combined with a clear dose-response relationship, supports the potential for VERVE-102 to deliver best-in-disease outcomes. These factors, along with a robust gene editing strategy for cardiovascular diseases and a world-class management team, underpin Biliouris’s positive outlook on Verve Therapeutics.
