Bicara: Innovative Precision Tumor Targeting

  • Bicara Therapeutics' lead candidate, ficerafusp alfa, targets EGFR and TGF-beta in tumors, showing promise in hard-to-treat cancers like Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma. Bicara's financial health is robust, with $489.7 million in cash, ensuring operations through mid-2029, bolstered by a successful IPO and Series C funding. Early clinical data for ficerafusp alfa plus pembrolizumab in HPV-negative HNSCC shows significant antitumor activity and manageable safety, supporting its potential market impact.
