<li>OS benefit has been observed in HARMONi-A study, which however is just a small part of the PD-1/VEGF commercial landscape. The main battlefield is still the head-to-head trial against Keytruda.</li>

OS benefit has been observed in HARMONi-A study, which however is just a small part of the PD-1/VEGF commercial landscape. The main battlefield is still the head-to-head trial against Keytruda.
We think the current high valuation of Akeso has begun to price in the successful HARMONi-2 results to some extent, which however is not a done deal.
Investors may need to be cautious about this placement, especially when the founders of Akeso actually chose to reduce their positions. Market cooling down may not be far off.
