Avalo Therapeutics reports Q2 EPS (59c) vs ($1.38) last year

Reports Q2 revenue $643,000 vs $1.033M last year. “Although the PEAK trial did not meet its primary endpoint, mechanistically I believe AVTX-002 has promise in other inflammatory driven diseases including IBD and other diseases of the lung, gut and skin. Additionally, we believe an opportunity remains in asthma, particularly in a subset of patients with higher baseline LIGHT levels. We also have high confidence in our preclinical stage fully human BTLA agonist fusion protein (AVTX-008) to potentially treat a wide range of autoimmune diseases and are excited by the drug’s novel mechanism of action and potential usage in patients not responsive to anti-TNF therapy,” said Dr. Garry Neil, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board. “The team is working tirelessly to determine the best path forward for these assets, including indication selection and funding to support development.”
