ITeos Therapeutics shares climbed after the company said it would evaluate strategic alternatives.
The stock rose 16% to $8.01 on Tuesday, putting it on track for its largest percent increase in a year. Shares are up 7% this year.
The biopharmaceutical company, focused on immuno-oncology treatments, will "promptly evaluate a full range of strategic alternatives to unlock the value of our assets," Chief Executive Michel Detheux said Tuesday.
Detheux's statement came as the company said it was ending a trial due to results he called disappointing. The Phase 2 study, sponsored by GSK, didn't meet its secondary endpoint of progression free survival. The trial was testing a combination of the drugs belrestotug and dostarlimab to treat a certain non-small cell lung cancer.
Along with the results, Detheux cited current market conditions as a factor in the strategic alternatives search. He said iTeos is well positioned to pursue opportunities that maximize shareholder value.
