Strong efficacy signals in a targeted ICC indication plus regulatory acceleration (NDA priority review) can drive near-term valuation upside, though single-arm data and early-stage validation introduce risk.

China’s NMPA granted priority review for NDA in December 2025, adding near-term regulatory catalysts alongside an ESMO GI data presentation in July 2026.
