Dana Gravesh's questions to Compugen Ltd (CGEN) leadership • Q2 2025
Question
An analyst from Leerink Partners, speaking for Dana Gravesh, asked for Compugen's view on Merck's recent Phase III success in ovarian cancer and how it affects their strategy, and also inquired about the early-stage pipeline's progress.
Answer
Chief Medical Officer Dr. Michelle Mahler clarified that Merck's trial was in a different patient population (platinum-resistant) and thus does not alter Compugen's strategy for its platinum-sensitive trial, though it validates the potential for checkpoint inhibitors. Chief Scientific Officer Dr. Eran Ophir added that the early-stage pipeline is advancing but details are being withheld for competitive reasons.
