Time To Upgrade Merus N.V. To A 'Buy' After The Recent Selloff
Bizengri's recent approval gives MRUS the first approved therapy for NRG1+ cancers, which, I think, will be a valuable niche. Petosemtamab's recent Phase 2 data for HNSCC suggests it could also have blockbuster potential as long as its Phase 3 trials are successful as well. I also like MRUS's recent partnership with BHVN as it gives it optionality with new ADC programs that could have oncology applications.
