Insights

Compugen advancing immunotherapy pipeline with promising partnerships while maintaining solid financial position for continued R&D into 2027.

Compugen's Q1 2025 update reveals encouraging progress across multiple clinical programs targeting novel immune checkpoints. The initiation of the randomized placebo-controlled trial evaluating COM701 as maintenance therapy in platinum-sensitive ovarian cancer represents a significant clinical milestone. Maintenance therapy approaches have become increasingly important in ovarian cancer management, where extending progression-free intervals is crucial for patient outcomes.

The ongoing development of GS-0321 (previously COM503), a potential first-in-class anti-IL18BP antibody licensed to Gilead, targets an innovative pathway in cancer immunotherapy. IL-18 binding protein acts as a natural inhibitor of pro-inflammatory IL-18, and neutralizing it could potentially enhance anti-tumor immune responses—representing a novel approach beyond established checkpoint pathways.

Most notably, AstraZeneca's expanded rilvegostomig program now encompasses ten Phase 3 trials across multiple cancer types. The TIGIT inhibitor component derived from Compugen's COM902 positions the company to benefit substantially should this bispecific therapy demonstrate efficacy. The upcoming ASCO presentations on rilvegostomig combinations in lung and biliary tract cancers will provide crucial efficacy signals for this program.

The planned leadership transition, with current CEO Dr. Cohen-Dayag moving to Executive Chair and CSO Dr. Ophir ascending to CEO, appears designed to maintain continuity while positioning the company for its next development phase. This structured transition suggests confidence in the company's strategic direction and pipeline progress.

With $103.7 million in cash and related assets providing runway into 2027, Compugen has sufficient resources to advance its clinical programs through key milestones without immediate financing pressure. This financial stability allows the company to focus on pipeline development without near-term dilution concerns.

Compugen shows solid financial position with promising partnership-driven revenue potential from AstraZeneca's expanding TIGIT program.

Compugen's Q1 financial results demonstrate a stable position with $103.7 million in cash and cash equivalents, providing a lengthy runway into 2027. This extended operational timeline is critical for a clinical-stage biotech, allowing the company to pursue its development programs without immediate financing pressure. Quarterly revenue of $2.3 million primarily derived from recognizing portions of upfront and milestone payments from the Gilead partnership represents modest but consistent income.

The company's operating expenses remain well-controlled with R&D at $5.8 million (down from $6.4 million year-over-year) and stable G&A costs at $2.4 million. This disciplined spending approach resulted in a net loss of $7.2 million or $0.08 per share, essentially unchanged from the previous year despite advancing clinical programs.

The most significant value driver for Compugen is their partnership with AstraZeneca, which has expanded the rilvegostomig program to ten Phase 3 trials across multiple cancer indications. This represents one of the largest Phase 3 programs in the competitive TIGIT space. As Compugen is eligible for milestone payments and mid-single digit royalties on future sales, this partnership could transform the company's financial trajectory if approved.

The company's use of its ATM facility in early 2025 has bolstered its cash position without significantly diluting shareholders. This strategic capital raise, combined with milestone payments from partnerships, has created a financial foundation that supports both clinical advancement and continued computational discovery platform development.

The leadership transition planned for September 2025, with the current CEO moving to Executive Chair and the CSO becoming CEO, represents a thoughtful succession approach that maintains institutional knowledge while potentially bringing fresh perspectives to commercialization strategies as programs mature.

  • Initiated platform trial of COM701 maintenance therapy in patients with platinum sensitive ovarian cancer in Q2 2025
  • Recruitment ongoing in the first in human Phase 1 trial of GS-0321 (previously COM503), a potential first-in-class anti-IL18BP antibody licensed toGilead
  • PartnerAstraZeneca expanded their rilvegostomig program to ten Phase 3 trials across lung, gastrointestinal and endometrial cancers and plans to share early data for rilvegostomig at ASCO
  • Solid financial position with cash runway expected to fund operations into 2027
  • Key leadership transitions to take effect in September 2025

HOLON, Israel, May 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- (Nasdaq: CGEN) (TASE: CGEN) a clinical-stage cancer immunotherapy company and a pioneer in computational target discovery, todayreported financial results for the first quarter of 2025 and provided a corporate update.

"We continued to advance our diverse innovative clinical and early-stage pipeline," said Anat Cohen-Dayag, Ph.D., President and CEO of Compugen. "We initiated and activated the first site in our randomized placebo-controlled trial evaluating single agent COM701 maintenance therapy in patients with relapsed platinum sensitive ovarian cancer (sub-trial 1).We are working diligently to dose the first patient and activate additional sites. In addition, we continue to advance our Phase 1 trial for GS-0321 a potential first-in-class anti-IL18BP antibody licensed to Gilead."

Dr. Cohen-Dayag continued, "We are encouraged by the progress our partner AstraZeneca is making with its rilvegostomig program which is notably the largest ongoing Phase 3 program in the TIGIT space. Rilvegostomig is a PD-1/TIGIT bispecific antibody, the TIGIT component of which is derived from COM902. AstraZeneca has increased the number of its Phase 3 trials with rilvegostomig to ten trials across lung, gastrointestinal and endometrial cancers. At the upcoming ASCO 2025 conference, as part of poster presentations, AstraZeneca plans to share early data for rilvegostomig in combination with the ADC Datroway in first-line advanced non-small-cell-lung cancer and in combination with chemotherapy in first-line advanced biliary tract cancer. AstraZeneca's broad development strategy for rilvegostomig to replace existing PD(L)-1 inhibitors represents a significant potential revenue source for Compugen as we are eligible for both future milestone payments and mid-single digit tiered royalties on future sales."

Dr. Cohen-Dayag added, "Our solid financial position with a cash runway expected to fund our operations into 2027 allows us to advance our innovative clinical and early-stage pipeline. Additionally, it enables us to continue to leverage our AI/ML powered predictive computational discovery platform, Unigen�, to accelerate our research efforts supporting our early-stage pipeline. We are also excited about the upcoming leadership changes which will come into effect in September 2025. I will assume the newly created role of Executive Chair of the Board of Directors, and Dr. Eran Ophir, currently Chief Scientific Officer, will become President and Chief Executive Officer and will join the Board of Directors. We believe this combination of leadership ensures a solid foundation for the Company's next phase of growth."

Next Planned Milestones

  • ASCO 2025:Compugen's partner, AstraZeneca, plans to present early data as poster presentations from two ongoing Phase 2 rilvegostomig trials:
    • First-lineDato-DXd + rilvegostomig in advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer: Results from TROPION-Lung04 (cohort 5)
    • First-line rilvegostomig plus chemotherapy in advanced biliary tract cancer: Primary analysis of GEMINI-Hepatobiliary sub-study 2 (cohort A)
