ESMO 2021 – Mirati bids to be belle of the ball

World Lung is not yet over, but biopharma investors already have the next oncology conference to contend with; Esmo starts on Thursday, and the titles of all its presentations, including late-breakers, have been made available.

From these it is clear that the meeting, taking place solely in virtual format, will again have a focus on big biopharma and immune checkpoint blockade. That said, biotech watchers have several catalysts to look forward to, the most important of which appears to be a late-breaker revealing an update on Mirati’s Kras blocker adagrasib in colorectal cancer.
