Kura Oncology: The Market Sees A Tough Road Ahead, And I Think There's An Opportunity
Kura Oncology's ziftomenib shows promise in AML treatment, with key data readouts expected in 2025, but faces competition from Syndax's revumenib.

Market sentiment is low due to second-mover disadvantage and delayed catalysts, but current valuations present a potential buying opportunity.
