CGEN could have multiple cancer treatments approved by FDA this time next year.
Lonely message board here. More posters on Yahoo Finance. I’ve quadrupled my holdings in CGEN dice December and starting to feel pretty good about it.
Fair assessment but the pipeline is as strong as ever and a lot of big pharma cant even come close to the propspects Compugen has. Nov 11 stands out as another big date for investors. Lets see how earnings or any other announcements prior to 2020 pan out.
$6.50 plus before end of the year.
Fun's over. This might be -30% tomorrow. The announcements about COM2 and COM1 really weren't very important, and there are no more catalysts in the foreseeable future. It's back to just burning cash with no end in sight since everything they have is super early.
Compugen Presents Initial Clinical Data from Ongoing Phase 1 Trial of
COM701 in Patients with Advanced Solid Tumors at SITC 2019
"We look forward to initiating our biomarker driven COM701 monotherapy expansion cohorts in these four prioritized indications -- ovarian, endometrial, breast and lung cancers."

Pre-market trading shows a $5.50 plus open. I’ve been in and out of this stock since 2003. It’s been a sleeping giant all along. Here we go.
CGEN is a rocket ship going past the moon! End of 2019 is going to be epic.

HOLON, Israel, Feb. 21, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Compugen Ltd. (NASDAQ: CGEN), a leader in predictive discovery and development of first-in-class therapeutics for cancer immunotherapy, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2017.
"2017 was a significant year for Compugen, in which we made important progress in advancing our therapeutic pipeline and strengthening core competencies in target discovery and validation, and therapeutic antibody development. Today there are four preclinical stage programs in our pipeline, originating from our discovery capabilities, as well as a portfolio of earlier stage programs focused on myeloid targets, a newly-rising and promising field in cancer immunotherapy. We also broadened our R&D infrastructure with a research collaboration agreement with The Mount Sinai Hospital, in addition to the collaboration we already have with John Hopkins University School of Medicine," said Anat Cohen-Dayag, Ph.D., President and CEO of Compugen.
"We are finalizing our clinical protocol and IND application for COM701, our first-in-class therapeutic antibody candidate targeting PVRIG, and are on track to file the IND with the FDA, as planned, towards the end of the first quarter of 2018. Our Phase 1 clinical trial is expected to start later in 2018."
"Bayer is also continuing to advance the CGEN-15001T program, a novel immune checkpoint inhibitor targeting ILDR2, through late preclinical development for cancer immunotherapy, and plans to present, for the first time, data supportive of the potential of ILDR2 to serve as a promising target for cancer immunotherapy at an upcoming scientific meeting. This further demonstrates the value and success of Compugen's computational discovery capabilities and its high-quality outputs."
"With two product-candidates against Compugen-discovered novel targets in late stage preclinical development, we are well positioned to continue executing our plan of developing first-in-class therapeutics targeted at novel pathways with the potential of generating new treatment solutions for patients unresponsive and refractory to existing immunotherapies," concluded Dr. Cohen-Dayag.
Paul Sekhri, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Compugen, added, "This is an exciting time for Compugen as we become a clinical stage company. Compugen's uniqueness lies in its unparalleled computational discovery capabilities, coupled with expert immuno-oncology and antibody development groups and led by a strong management team, allowing for the generation of first-in-class drug opportunities and commercially valuable assets. With the recent advancements in our pipeline, I believe Compugen holds significant clinical and commercial value which will drive our future growth."
Recent highlights:
Announced publication of two peer-reviewed papers in The Journal of Immunology on the discovery and validation of the ILDR2 protein as a novel immune checkpoint and its use as an Fc fusion protein for the treatment of autoimmune diseases.
Presented new preclinical data on COM701 demonstrating distinctive features of the PVRIG pathway and the potential of COM701 for treating multiple solid tumors. The data presented also support the Company's biomarker strategy and clinical development program for COM701, as a monotherapy and in combination treatment with COM902, Compugen's therapeutic antibody candidate targeting TIGIT, and with PD-1 blockers.
Financial Results
R&D expenses for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2017 were $7.2 million and $28.6 million, respectively, compared with $6.3 million and $24.5 million for the comparable periods in 2016. The increase continues to reflect the expanded preclinical development activities involving our pipeline program candidates, mainly related to COM701 as well as COM902.
Net loss for the fourth quarter of 2017 was $9.3 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $8.5 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, in the comparable periods of 2016. Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2017 was $37.1 million, or $0.72 per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $31.5 million, or $0.62 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2016.
As of December 31, 2017, cash, cash related accounts, short-term and long-term bank deposits totaled $30.4 million, compared with $61.5 million at December 31, 2016. The Company has no debt.

CGEN dropped from the Nasdaq Biotech Index on 11-Dec @2.50 and has kept going up since with a big price and volume spike on 15-Dec.
Doesn't make sense !!
I sold a bit on that peak at $4, and now it's settled back down so i put in a limit order to buy it back at $3.
Our big advantage in being able to identify onco-checkpoints first, is largely gone as the technology advances. But i presume that we've made significant advances ourselves and have been developing our discoverys for some time, giving us the first comer's advantage.
Initially i'd anticipated big pharma lining up outside our doors, clamoring for leads, given their own inability to produce original discoveries...But no pie. So we're going forward ourselves.
Up 17% . Just nailed the patent on our lead immune-onco drug.
"COM701 is a humanized hybridoma antibody that binds with high affinity to PVRIG, a novel B7/CD28-like immune checkpoint target candidate discovered by Compugen, blocking its interaction with PVRL2. Blockade of PVRIG by COM701 has demonstrated potent, reproducible enhancement of T cell activation, consistent with the desired mechanism of action of activating T cells in the tumor microenvironment to generate anti-tumor immune responses. In addition, COM701 combined with antagonist anti-TIGIT or anti-PD1 antibodies has demonstrated synergistic effect on human T cell stimulation, indicating the potential of these combinations to further enhance immune response against tumors."
And we've got at least a dozen more in the works.
We have some but obviously need more.
Even a small pharm would do if they'd take a candidate and run with it.
I just don't understand why these checkpoint candidates aren't being gobbled up by an industry obviously short of productive and original ideas....
.Well, except for the staggering cost of getting a new drug through the FA.
At the risk of being redundant...Check this out!
Compugen Ltd. (NASDAQ: CGEN), a leading predictive drug discovery company, disclosed today new animal model results demonstrating restoration of immune tolerance by CGEN-15001, the Company's lead candidate for treatment of autoimmune diseases. Importantly, the immune tolerance established by CGEN-15001 was shown to be antigen-specific, indicating that treatment with CGEN-15001 has the potential to not only generate a durable response, but also to avoid the global immune suppression generated by other therapeutic agents for autoimmune diseases. CGEN-15001 is an Fc fusion protein based on a Compugen-discovered novel immune checkpoint protein.
That means we can treat and protect specific autoimmune disease targets...some of the most common and intractable curses of mankind!
If this proves out, we should come out of this with bulging pockets and feeling a whole lot better besides!
hey, that new 15001 candidate looks incredibly promising!
It's just in mice thus far, so the odds are a bit long, but if it works in people, we'd be on top of the immunological world!
Blue fin: Are we waiting for a big pharma 15001 partner to be announced?

My guess is that the PPS will keep yo-yoing around until we see some of our findings turned into successful drugs...Or at least start selling some of them for a fair price.
The longer we don't, the greater BP's in silica capabilities will grow.
Stock price warmed up nicely on Friday and given 3x normal volume I wonder if we hit new 52 week high shortly
The hot, multibillion dollar drugs in immune oncology now are PD-1 inhibitors.
CGEN has a fat double handful more checkpoint inhibitors ready for testing with more coming.
I don't understand why BP isn't swarming all over them waving fat multi million dollar deals at us?

Compugen Ltd. Prices Public Offering of Ordinary Shares
Friday 28 February 2014
Compugen Ltd. (NASDAQ: CGEN) (TASE: CGEN) today announced that it has priced an underwritten public offering of 6,000,000 ordinary shares at a price to the public of $10.50 per share. Gross proceeds to Compugen are expected to be $63 million, before deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by Compugen. The offering is expected to close on or about March 5, 2014, subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions. Compugen has granted the underwriters a thirty (30) day option to purchase up to 900,000 additional ordinary shares.
9:27AM Compugen announced that it is significantly increasing its Pipeline Program activities in the field of immuno-oncology (CGEN) 9.53 :
Co announced that it is significantly increasing its Pipeline Program activities in the field of immuno-oncology. The primary purpose of the increase is to allow research and preclinical activities for a larger number of checkpoint target and product candidates for cancer immunotherapy to move forward in parallel. Additional objectives include the establishment of a biomarker discovery program for certain of the Company's checkpoint product candidates and the acceleration of experimental validation efforts for the recently disclosed antibody drug conjugate target candidates for oncology.
The significant increase in immuno-oncology activities during 2014 will impact both the target research and validation activities performed in Israel and the therapeutic antibody development efforts against Compugen-discovered drug targets undertaken by the Company's U.S. R&D subsidiary. This includes the scheduled relocation of the U.S. subsidiary to larger facilities in the South San Francisco area in mid-year.
"These expanded activities are anticipated to result in more than a sixty percent increase in our annual R&D cash expenditures, from approximately $10 mln in 2013 to more than $16 mln budgeted for 2014. Having begun 2014 with more than $50 mln in available resources, we are confident that this increased R&D budget, providing for a substantially expanded program in oncology while maintaining approximately the same level of expenditures for the immunology arm of our Pipeline Program, is fully consistent with our financial status and outlook."
7:01AM Compugen discloses discovery of five potential cancer targets for antibody drug conjugate therapy (CGEN) 9.18 : Co announces the predictive discovery and selection of five candidate targets for antibody-drug conjugate cancer therapy. These five potential ADC targets, representing the initial results from the Company's second focused in silico discovery program, are now entering initial experimental validation to be followed by antibody discovery and development activities. Initial results are expected during the second half of 2014.
ADC target discovery is Compugen's second focused in silico discovery program, following the success of its first focused discovery program for the discovery of immune checkpoint targets for treatment of cancer and immune diseases.
Compugen Discloses Discovery of Five Potential Cancer Targets for Antibody Drug Conjugate Therapy
Wednesday 11 December 2013

Compugen Ltd. (NASDAQ: CGEN) announced today the predictive discovery and selection of five candidate targets for antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) cancer therapy. These five potential ADC targets, representing the initial results from the Company’s second focused in silico discovery program, are now entering initial experimental validation to be followed by antibody discovery and development activities. Initial results are expected during the second half of 2014.
ADC therapy utilizes antibodies to selectively target proteins on the surface of cancer cells for the delivery of highly toxic chemicals. This selective delivery is designed to limit the damage to healthy tissues, thereby reducing the side effects as compared to chemotherapy. To date, two approved ADC drugs have demonstrated impressive clinical proof of concept for this exciting new class of oncology drugs, and there are multiple additional ADC drugs in clinical development. Therefore, the discovery of target proteins meeting the requirements for utilizing ADC technology in the treatment of cancer is an area of high industry interest.
ADC target discovery is Compugen's second focused in silico discovery program, following the success of its first focused discovery program for the discovery of immune checkpoint targets for treatment of cancer and immune diseases. Compugen’s ADC target discovery program, which was initiated earlier this year, utilizes the same underlying predictive discovery infrastructure as the Company’s earlier immune checkpoint program, with the addition of certain algorithms and other computational capabilities specifically developed for this effort. In both programs, the objective is to first identify an appropriate set of proteins with the support of the Company’s proprietary predictive human proteome, and then select from this set those proteins predicted to have the highest probability of meeting each program’s specific requirements.
More specifically for the ADC program, Compugen’s discovery infrastructure was expanded by incorporating additional algorithms that enable prediction of membrane proteins having the potential to internalize, that are both expressed on cancer cells and have low expression on healthy cells, in order to allow the ADC drug to selectively attack the tumor and spare healthy tissues. It was additionally enhanced to identify targets associated with advanced cancer stages and poor clinical outcome, in order to provide potential superior first-in-class treatment to patient populations with limited therapeutic options.
Dr. Anat Cohen-Dayag, Compugen’s President and CEO stated, “As we continue to invest most of our R&D and commercialization efforts on activities supporting our current Pipeline Program product candidates, which are largely based on our immune checkpoint discoveries, we are pleased to disclose these promising initial discoveries from our second focused discovery program.”
Dr. Cohen-Dayag continued, “Immune checkpoint regulators are generally considered to be the next frontier in the treatment of cancer; however, ADCs are recognized as an additional very promising class of highly potent and selective oncology drugs providing a different approach to cancer treatment. Therefore, in view of our successful track record of experimental validation for molecules selected by our unique predictive discovery infrastructure, we very much look forward to the potential for these ADC target candidates to further expand the scope and diversity of the cancer therapy arm of our pipeline.”
Dr. Cohen-Dayag added, “These discoveries demonstrate significant advantages that our predictive discovery methodology offers compared with traditional discovery. First, since the required discovery platform for this program was built through the enhancement of our existing infrastructure, the total time to date has been less than a year from initiation of the program. Furthermore, this enhanced capability will now be available for future discovery programs. Second, since this second program utilizes a different basis for selection and prioritization of results than the first program, it further demonstrates the applicability of our core predictive infrastructure to multiple areas of high industry interest. Third, as demonstrated by both programs, each focused discovery program has the potential to yield multiple possible novel product candidates.”
About ADC Cancer Therapy
ADC cancer therapy destroys cancer cells by delivering high-potency cytotoxic agents (the “payload”) directly to the cancer cells. The principle underlying ADC therapy is linking the toxic agent payload to an antibody or antibody fragment that specifically targets a protein present on the membrane of the cancer cell. After administration to the patient, the antibody with the payload specifically binds this membrane protein on the cancer cell and is then internalized into the cell where the payload is released and destroys it. Thus, unlike chemotherapies, ADC therapy is designed to specifically destroy only cells displaying this protein by targeting the appropriate protein on the cancer cell. ADCs against a number of targets, both in solid and hematologic tumors, are in clinical development, with two ADC products gaining FDA approval in the past two years.
7:07AM Compugen presents experimental results supporting induction of immune tolerance by CGEN-15001 Drug Candidate; presentation will also disclose recent positive results from a humanized animal model of psoriasis (CGEN) 9.96 : Co disclosed results from an animal model study in which CGEN-15001, an Fc fusion protein drug candidate derived from a novel immune checkpoint protein discovered by Compugen, demonstrated potential to induce immune tolerance, a much desired goal for treatment of many immunological disorders. The presentation will also disclose recent positive results from a humanized animal model of psoriasis, further expanding the scope of autoimmune conditions potentially treatable by CGEN-15001. In her presentation, Dr. Rotman will disclose results from a recently completed bone marrow transplantation study in which CGEN-15001 was highly effective in preventing graft rejection, suggesting that this drug candidate acts through an induction of immune tolerance. Establishment of immune tolerance is a key goal in the treatment of autoimmune diseases. In comparison to current therapeutic approaches that generally suppress the immune system, tolerance induction would provide a sustained resolution of the disease without compromising the immune system's capacity to fight infections and malignancies.
In this study, bone marrow cells from male mice were transplanted into female mice of the same strain, followed by monitoring of the number of male cells in their blood. In CGEN-15001 treated animals, successful engraftment of the transplanted bone marrow cells was observed, while in control animals the transplanted cells were rejected. These results suggest that treatment with CGEN-15001 induces immune tolerance towards the transplanted cells. Additional data will also be presented for CGEN-15001 supporting this highly desired mechanism of action in type 1 diabetes and multiple sclerosis animal models.
CGEN-15001 was injected into the skin graft starting on the day of disease induction, and the skin was subsequently analyzed for psoriatic histological characteristics. Results of this study demonstrated that treatment with CGEN-15001 was highly efficient in the prevention of psoriasis. Currently there is no cure for psoriasis, and treatment may include topical steroids, phototherapy, and systemic agents that suppress the immune system.
7:06AM Compugen drug candidate demonstrates high effectiveness in Type I Diabetes animal model (CGEN) 9.42 : Co announces that CGEN-15001, an Fc fusion protein drug candidate derived from a novel immune checkpoint protein discovered by Compugen, has been shown to be highly efficient in preventing the development of disease in a well-accepted animal model of autoimmune type I diabetes, known also as juvenile diabetes.
Results of the study demonstrate that treatment with CGEN-15001 prevented development of diabetes throughout the 4 months of follow-up. Animals treated with CGEN-15001 maintained normal blood glucose levels compared with untreated animals that developed high blood glucose. The sustained duration of response following a short-term treatment with CGEN-15001, also observed previously in other disease models of autoimmunity, suggests that CGEN-15001 turns off the autoimmune process and may potentially lead to restoration of immune tolerance and resolution of autoimmunity, thereby arresting disease progression.
No doubt: Up!!!
The bigger question is, where does it go from here? The PPS that is.....
Compugen was worth the wait

Compugen shows life sciences companies that invest heavily in science can achieve a breakthrough, even after the capital market has given up on them.

Compugen Ltd. (Nasdaq: CGEN; TASE: CGEN), founded in the 1990s, was one of the prominent companies in the bio-informatics wave (combining computers and biology) that swept the world. It was believed at the time that cracking the genome and other advances in biology would move the drug discovery process from the laboratory to the computer. But the revolution stalled. Although computer systems improve the drug discovery process, most of the work is still done in the laboratory. Meanwhile, bio-informatics companies were stuck.
Compugen developed a system for automated data mining of biological information from a range of sources. When it was floated on Nasdaq in 2000, its business model was based on the sale of its data mining services to big pharma companies as user fees. Although it signed many cooperation agreements, revenue never exceeded a few million dollars a year.
In 2004, Compugen changed its business model to independently discover and develop drugs on the basis of its computing capabilities. It replaced all its management, board of directors, and a substantial part of its employees (mathematicians replaced biologists). But this did not help either, until the company found the right business model.
In 2010, Compugen decided to focus only on immune checkpoint drugs - molecules that induce the immune system to attack malignant tumors itself. One drug from this group, Yervoy, developed by Bristol Myers Squibb Co. (NYSE: BMY), was a great success, and other pharmaceutical companies rushed after other molecules from this group. Compugen's agreement today with Bayer Healthcare suggests that the bet paid off.
Compugen's story teaches that life sciences companies that invest heavily in time and effort in science over many years can achieve a breakthrough, even after the capital market has given up on them. This assumes that the outstanding science is accompanied by successful management (CEO Dr. Anat Cohen-Dayag) and a party that backs the company financially or can keep capital market enthusiasm alive (chairman Martin Gerstel).
But the lesson of the story is that it is not necessarily worthwhile to accompany a life sciences company all the way. Although Compugen's current market cap is double its IPO value, there were times when it was traded at a 90% discount on its IPO price.
Early investors in companies with such long roads rarely make a profit. When was it worthwhile to invest in Compugen? In 2010, when Cohen-Dayag announced that it was again changing direction, but by then, the market found it difficult to believe.
