The recent market activities of BioNTech (NASDAQ:BNTX) displayed a mixed tendency as both positive and negative events unfolded. BioNTech and Pfizer had encouraging results from ongoing Phase 3 clinical trials and were successful in striking back against GSK in a legal dispute in London. Moreover, BioNTech's partnership with Bristol Myers Squibb, despite the dip in stocks, presents the potential for long-term gains.
BioNTech and Pfizer also received FDA approval for their COMIRNATY® vaccine for specified age groups at increased risk for severe COVID-19. Their venture into cancer treatment has shown promising results, particularly around lung cancer and breast cancer. This includes a significant breakthrough in breast cancer therapy, and a successful partnership with Bristol-Myers Squibb on potential cancer therapies.
However, shares fell due to reports linking COVID vaccines to child deaths, amidst patent legal issues. Nonetheless, BioNTech purchased CureVac in a $1.25bn deal, which could lead to positive development for their mRNA Oncology Pipeline. However, BioNTech also cut 90 US jobs and phased out cell therapy manufacturing as they centered their focus towards mRNA development and their robust pipeline within oncology.
