Scotiabank lowered the firm's price target on Janux Therapeutics (JANX) to $41 from $62 and keeps a Sector Perform rating on the shares. While the dose-escalation results for the company's ongoing Phase 1 trial of JANX007 look promising, the firm does not believe all benchmarks required for establishing a competitive edge and potential pharma acquisition have been achieved, the analyst tells investors. The firm is lowering its price target to reflect a more muted outlook on JANX007 potential.

Janux Therapeutics Reports Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results and Business Highlights

SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Janux Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: JANX) (Janux), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing a broad pipeline of novel immunotherapies by applying its proprietary technologies to its Tumor Activated T Cell Engager (TRACTr), Tumor Activated Immunomodulator (TRACIr), and Adaptive Immune Response Modulator (ARM) platforms, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025, and provided a business update. 'The recent expansion of our TRACTr, TRACIr, and ARM development programs displays our ability to enact a strategy that attempts to both maximize the benefit and value of our current clinical programs, including JANX007, while continuing to advance other differentiated candidates in oncology and autoimmune disease,' said David Campbell, Ph.D., President and CEO of Janux. 'We look forward to additional clinical data from JANX007 and JANX008 expected in the second half of 2025.' RECENT BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS AND FUTURE MILESTONES: R&D Day highlighted pipeline progress and novel bispecific platform in autoimmune disease. In July 2025, Janux management presented multiple product candidates identified from its preclinical pipeline to move towards clinical trials. A PSMA-TRACIr designed to be combined with potentially best-in-treatment asset, JANX007, and provide CD28 co-stimulation to further differentiate depth and durability of patient responses. A TROP2-TRACTr added a first-in-class opportunity targeting multiple solid tumors with preclinical data supporting differentiated safety and efficacy potential. A CD19-ARM displayed rapid, deep and durable B-cell depletion in periphery and tissues with a prolonged memory B cell reset while maintaining a large safety window in non-human primates. JANX007 continues to enroll in the first-in-human Phase 1 clinical trial in mCRPC (NCT05519449). JANX008 continues to enroll in the first-in-human Phase 1 clinical trial in advanced or metastatic solid tumors (NCT05783622). Clinical milestone payment of $10 million from Merck recently triggered by first patient dosed in the lead collaboration program under the companies' 2020 Research Collaboration and Exclusive License Agreement. Additional data from JANX007 and JANX008 will be presented at future Janux events in the second half of 2025. Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments: As of June 30, 2025, Janux reported cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments of $996.0 million, compared to $1.03 billion at December 31, 2024. Research and development expenses: Research and development expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 were $34.7 million, compared to $14.9 million for the comparable period in 2024. General and administrative expenses: General and administrative expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 were $10.5 million, compared to $7.8 million for the comparable period in 2024. Net loss: For the quarter ended June 30, 2025, Janux reported a net loss of $33.9 million, compared to a net loss of $6.0 million for the comparable period in 2024. Janux's TRACTr, TRACIr and ARM Pipeline Janux's first clinical candidate, JANX007, is a TRACTr that targets prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) and is being investigated in a Phase 1 clinical trial in adult patients with mCRPC. Janux's second clinical candidate, JANX008, is a TRACTr that targets epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and is being studied in a Phase 1 clinical trial for the treatment of multiple solid cancers including colorectal carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck, non-small cell lung cancer, renal cell carcinoma, small cell lung cancer, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma and triple-negative breast cancer. Janux is also advancing additional CD3-based TRACTr and CD28-based TRACIr programs for future clinical development, including a PSMA-TRACIr for use in combination with our PSMA-TRACTr JANX007, and a TROP2-TRACTr for the treatment of TROP2+ solid tumors. Janux is advancing its first ARM platform program candidate, a CD19-ARM for the potential treatment of autoimmune diseases toward clinical trials. Janux is also generating a number of additional TRACTr, TRACIr and ARM programs for potential future development.
