Mereo BioPharma Group plc's phase 3 ORBIT study for setrusumab in osteogenesis imperfecta will continue to final analysis, expected by end of 2025. The recent 35% MREO stock drop was due to not meeting early efficacy stopping criteria of ORBIT, not due to safety or trial failure. The ongoing phase 2/3 ORBIT study is targeting OI patients ages 5 to 25, while the phase 3 COSMIC trial is going after patients ages 2 to < 7 years.
MEREO BIOPHARMA (MREO) might move higher on growing optimism about its earnings prospects, which is reflected by its upgrade to a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).
Mereo BioPharma Group plc's setrusumab shows promise in treating osteogenesis imperfecta, with phase 3 studies fully enrolled and potential for multiple catalysts in 2025. Positive 14-month data from the phase 2/3 ORBIT study indicates a significant reduction in fracture rates, bolstering confidence in ongoing phase 3 trials. Financially stable with $87.4 million in cash, Mereo aims to secure a partner for Alvelestat's phase 3 trial, potentially boosting stock value.
