Janux Therapeutics Initiates Phase 1b Expansion Studies with JANX007 in Patients with Prostate Cancer and Provides Program Updates

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 technology to its Tumor Activated T Cell Engager (TRACTr) and Tumor Activated Immunomodulator (TRACIr) platforms, today announced the initiation of Phase 1b expansion studies in the ongoing ENGAGER-PSMA-01 trial. ENGAGER-PSMA-01 is a first-in-human, open-label, multicenter Phase 1 clinical trial designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and preliminary efficacy of JANX007 administered as monotherapy or in combination in adult patients with advanced metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). In December 2024, Janux reported positive interim clinical data from the Phase 1a dose escalation portion of the trial in 16 mCRPC patients with a median of four prior lines of therapy. At that time, the median radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) reported was 7.4 months for all 16 patients.* As of April 21, 2025, updated results** have been achieved in the same 16 patients supporting the initiation of the Phase 1b expansion studies: Median rPFS of 7.5 months (n=16) Median rPFS of 7.9 months for patients treated at 6mg and 9mg target doses (n=9) 6-month rPFS of 65% (n=16) 6-month rPFS of 78% for patients treated at 6mg and 9mg target doses (n=9) Safety data remained consistent with the December 2024 data disclosure (n=16) *8/16 patients were noted as in-progress in the December 2024 reported results. **rPFS results based upon Kaplan-Meier estimate. In addition, Janux has selected a CRS-mitigation strategy to support the initiation of the Phase 1b expansion studies that is designed to maintain the CRS profile reported in December. The first Phase 1b expansion study will enroll taxane-naïve mCRPC patients and is designed to generate additional safety and efficacy data in this first and second line (1L/2L) patient population. This study will assess JANX007 monotherapy at two dose regimens (0.3/2/6mg and 0.3/2/9mg) with dosing administered once weekly or once every two weeks in mCRPC patients who have progressed on or after novel hormonal therapy (NHT). 'Initiation of the taxane-naïve study marks an important step as we begin to evaluate JANX007 in earlier-line mCRPC patient populations,' said Zachariah McIver, D.O., Ph.D., Chief Medical Officer of Janux. 'While therapeutic options for mCRPC have expanded, there remains a significant need for novel, non-chemotherapeutic approaches.' Janux plans to initiate three additional Phase 1b expansion studies, evaluating: JANX007 in combination with an androgen receptor inhibitor in taxane-experienced mCRPC patients JANX007 monotherapy in PARP inhibitor-resistant mCRPC patients JANX007 monotherapy in NHT- and taxane-experienced mCRPC patients designed to support OPTIMUS dose selection for registrational studies 'Improved efficacy and durability of responses has been observed by other prostate cancer drugs and TCEs when moving into earlier lines of therapy. There are also indications that safety with TCEs improve in earlier lines of therapy where disease burden is lower. We believe that these observations, coupled with the data seen in our Phase 1a dose escalation in later line patients, strongly support our decision to develop JANX007 in earlier lines of therapy,' said David Campbell, Ph.D., President and CEO of Janux. Additional data from JANX007 and JANX008 will be presented at future Janux events in the second half of 2025. Separately, Janux will host an R&D Day in mid-2025 highlighting product candidates identified from its preclinical pipeline to move into clinical trials. Janux's TRACTr and TRACIr 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 metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. 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. We are also generating a number of additional TRACTr and TRACIr programs for potential future development, some of which are at development candidate stage or later. We are currently assessing priorities in our preclinical pipeline. About Janux Therapeutics Janux is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing tumor-activated immunotherapies for cancer. Janux's proprietary technology enabled the development of two distinct bispecific platforms: TRACTr and TRACIr. The goal of both platforms is to provide cancer patients with safe and effective therapeutics that direct and guide their immune system to eradicate tumors while minimizing safety concerns. Janux is currently developing a broad pipeline of TRACTr and TRACIr therapeutics directed at several targets to treat solid tumors. Janux has two TRACTr therapeutic candidates in clinical trials, the first targeting PSMA is in development for prostate cancer, and the second targeting EGFR is being developed for 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.

Is Janux Therapeutics, Inc. (JANX) the Best Small Cap Stock to Buy with the Biggest Upside Potential?

We recently published a list of . In this article, we are going to take a look at where Janux Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:JANX) stands against other top small cap stocks to buy with biggest upside potential. On April 24, Jill Carey Hall, BofA Securities head of U.S. small/mid-cap strategy, appeared on 'Closing Bell' to talk about the impact of tariffs on small caps. She also discussed the outlook for the category, saying that the earnings backdrop is essential. When we look back a year ago, investors were excited about small caps, as the earnings were recovering and the market was coming out of the 2023 earnings recession. Everyone expected that these stocks would see double-digit earnings growth by mid-last year, outpacing large caps. That got pushed out for over a year, and now the sector has sold off a lot. While we have gotten some potential good news on tariffs, there is still a lot of uncertainty, and we are in a backdrop where earnings revisions have still been negative. She opined that she would feel more comfortable if we were in a backdrop where there was confidence in earnings recovery because last earnings season, the commentary was a lot more negative from small-cap companies than large-cap companies. So far, this earnings season is still early for small caps, but guidance in both large and small has been weak. READ ALSO: and . Hall said that the sector would see a much better picture if earnings revisions turned around with higher confidence, and not only the tariffs were better than expected but also the economic backdrop was better. However, we are also in a place where economists think the Fed will stay on hold this year, and the Russell has been very sensitive to Fed expectations. Her outlook for small caps thus points towards a more credit-sensitive environment highly tethered to Fed expectations, with no anticipation of a rate cut this year. She also highlighted that looking at corporate commentary as small-cap reporting kicks off is important. Not all small caps are created equal, even when some people consider them to be so. Hall opined that this is definitely a year where you want to be selective in small caps, focusing on stocks with strong margins amid tariff uncertainty. She favored high-quality domestic stocks, steering clear of tariff and refinancing risks and focusing on stocks with positive revisions in this broad backdrop of negative revisions. There are groups of stocks that are more sensitive to tariffs, just as there are groups that are more global and domestic. Similarly, some groups are more levered with higher refinancing risks within small caps if the rate stays higher and credit spreads stay elevated. Therefore, she reasoned that she would stick with higher-quality stocks that are more profitable and have strong operating margins. Stocks with these characteristics have been some of the top performers within the industry amid tariff risks. From a sector perspective, if investors want to be more defensive, utilities screen well across the work, both in small and large caps. There will thus be opportunities in the segment, according to Hall, but one needs to be selective. She also expressed positive sentiments for mid-caps, which have been one of the best performers in the sector this year. They have seen much better revision trends, cleaner balance sheets, and fewer risks from potential earnings hits from tariffs than small caps because the latter have thinner margins and could see a greater hit. We sifted through stock screeners, financial media reports, and ETFs to compile a list of 30 small cap stocks and chose the top 11 with the biggest analyst upside potential as of May 2, 2025. We also included the number of hedge fund holders as of Q4 2024, which we sourced from Insider Monkey's database. The list is presented in ascending order of stocks' upside potential. Why are we interested in the stocks that hedge funds pile into? The reason is simple: our research has shown that we can outperform the market by imitating the top stock picks of the best hedge funds. Our quarterly newsletter's strategy selects 14 small-cap and large-cap stocks every quarter and has returned 363.5% since May 2014, beating its benchmark by 208 percentage points (). A rack of test tubes and beakers being stirred in a laboratory, as researchers analyze the data. Market Cap: $1.89 billion Analyst Upside: 140.96% Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 54 Janux Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:JANX) is a preclinical stage biopharmaceutical company that develops therapeutics based on the Tumor Activated T Cell Engager platform technology. The company ranks ninth on our list of the top small-cap stocks to invest in with the biggest upside potential and develops tumor-activated immunotherapies for cancer through two bispecific platforms: Tumor Activated T Cell Engagers (TRACTr) and Tumor Activated Immunomodulators (TRACIr). On March 6, JonesTrading analyst Soumit Roy reiterated their bullish stance on Janux Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:JANX), giving it a Buy rating because of its upcoming catalysts and promising technological advancements. The company's masking technology holds considerable potential, reporting best-in-class data amid a competitive environment. It is also anticipated to report updated data from its PSMA and EGFR targeting masked T cell engagers in 2025. The analyst expects this to further validate its technology, bolstering its clinical-stage programs. Janux Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:JANX) also holds a considerable cash position of around $1.03 billion, which the analyst believes can support their present and future development and research initiatives. Another key factor behind Roy's positive outlook is the company's focus on transitioning to earlier treatment lines and exploring different dosing regimens. So, while the company is facing some competitive pressure, its long-term potential paints an optimistic picture. Overall, JANX ranks 9th on our list of top small cap stocks to buy with biggest upside potential.

We're Interested To See How Janux Therapeutics (NASDAQ:JANX) Uses Its Cash Hoard To Grow

Even when a business is losing money, it's possible for shareholders to make money if they buy a good business at the right price. For example, although made losses for many years after listing, if you had bought and held the shares since 1999, you would have made a fortune. But the harsh reality is that very many loss making companies burn through all their cash and go bankrupt. So, the natural question for Janux Therapeutics (NASDAQ:JANX) shareholders is whether they should be concerned by its rate of cash burn. In this report, we will consider the company's annual negative free cash flow, henceforth referring to it as the 'cash burn'. Let's start with an examination of the business' cash, relative to its cash burn. A cash runway is defined as the length of time it would take a company to run out of money if it kept spending at its current rate of cash burn. As at December 2024, Janux Therapeutics had cash of US$1.0b and no debt. In the last year, its cash burn was US$44m. So it had a very long cash runway of many years from December 2024. While this is only one measure of its cash burn situation, it certainly gives us the impression that holders have nothing to worry about. Depicted below, you can see how its cash holdings have changed over time. Check out our latest analysis for Janux Therapeutics On balance, we think it's mildly positive that Janux Therapeutics trimmed its cash burn by 16% over the last twelve months. And considering that its operating revenue gained 31% during that period, that's great to see. We think it is growing rather well, upon reflection. While the past is always worth studying, it is the future that matters most of all. So you might want to take a peek at how much the company is expected to grow in the next few years. There's no doubt Janux Therapeutics seems to be in a fairly good position, when it comes to managing its cash burn, but even if it's only hypothetical, it's always worth asking how easily it could raise more money to fund growth. Issuing new shares, or taking on debt, are the most common ways for a listed company to raise more money for its business. One of the main advantages held by publicly listed companies is that they can sell shares to investors to raise cash and fund growth. We can compare a company's cash burn to its market capitalisation to get a sense for how many new shares a company would have to issue to fund one year's operations. Janux Therapeutics' cash burn of US$44m is about 2.5% of its US$1.8b market capitalisation. So it could almost certainly just borrow a little to fund another year's growth, or else easily raise the cash by issuing a few shares. As you can probably tell by now, we're not too worried about Janux Therapeutics' cash burn. For example, we think its cash runway suggests that the company is on a good path. Its weak point is its cash burn reduction, but even that wasn't too bad! After taking into account the various metrics mentioned in this report, we're pretty comfortable with how the company is spending its cash, as it seems on track to meet its needs over the medium term. Readers need to have a sound understanding of business risks before investing in a stock, and we've spotted 1 warning sign for Janux Therapeutics that potential shareholders should take into account before putting money into a stock.
