$GOSS weak. Consistent insider selling over past 2 weeks. Big under the radar binary approaching with NVS fevipiprant Ph3 having DIRECT readthrough to GOSS lead drug w/ same MoA. Analogous to how ANAB cut by 45% since REGN IL33 miss. Will put out some thoughts on that tomorrow-- $GOSS $1.3B market cap. Lead drug is DP2 antagonist currently in Ph2 for asthma.
The near term catalyst for the fate of the DP2 class is NVS fevipiprant Ph3 reading out in a few weeks clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/study…

$ADVM Interesting poll results.
58% believe there will be 0 or 1 rescue injections. Good opportunity to frame the *proper* data expectations given the high likelihood of yet another "positive" PR no matter how the data look First, some historical context.
ADVM-022 comes from the same Avalanche team that PR'ed "positive" results in 2015 and saw the stock down 80%. AAVL merged with Annapurna to create $ADVM but both Annapurna A1AT and HAE programs have since been shelved

Sizing up some 2Q biotech events and consistent theme emerging among many of them is the likelihood of spin/deliberate obfuscation/sleight of hand/bait and switch/general smoke and mirror confusion. So to avoid a $FGEN esque repeat, laying out some of the more obvious candidates- $IFRX - the most likely candidate to have a "announces positive data" headline?
Will it really be positive? Slim chance

Details, assuming they provide any, will be very very important. This is a team that has the gall to blatantly claim that THIS figure is highly stat sig (1/4)

Apples to apples $ALLK data suggests little differentiation versus ligelizumab, when using the standard UAS7 scale rather than ALLK's self-concocted UCT. Cash of $4.8/sh with lockup expiry coming Jan 15, nice time to shoehorn "positive" data PR $ALLK continues to get hit, one of the rare biotechs that escaped the December slaughter and despite recent decline sports a $1.8B market cap. Showed no differentiation vs Xolair in the first data cut despite easier patient pop. lockup just expired, stock catching up to reality
