Charles Anthony Butler's questions to Bioatla Inc (BCAB) leadership • Q4 2024
Question
Charles Anthony Butler of Rodman & Renshaw asked if the HPV-positive head and neck cancer patients who responded were smokers and questioned the strategy of targeting mid-tier companies for partnerships.
Answer
Executive Eric Sievers addressed the partnering strategy, explaining that after a large company sought a multi-billion dollar opportunity, they recognized the value in engaging mid-tier firms for what they see as a $1B+ opportunity. Executive Jay Short noted he did not have the smoking correlation data for the HPV-positive cohort on hand but would obtain it.
