AMPLIFY-7P primary DFS analysis in 1H 2026 • 2026-06-30

Expected move: -4%

Biggest risk

The 10-K explicitly flags substantial doubt about going concern, and the new ATM plus limited cash runway mean even a timing slip or ambiguous readout could force more dilution before the core program is de-risked.

Invalidation

Break below $7 or thesis failure.

What would change my mind?

A positive AMPLIFY-7P DFS readout followed by credible FDA Phase 3 alignment could move ELTX from a financing-driven microcap story toward a registrational oncology setup, with current valuation still below the sparse median target.

Commentary

This remains a cautious monitoring view, not a high-conviction bullish call. Primary-source context is solid, but the deterministic prior is neutral, evidence quality is only moderate, catalyst density is low, and the stock is still dominated by one near-term clinical event plus financing risk.

AMPLIFY-7P primary DFS analysis in 1H 2026
Management said the event-driven primary disease-free survival analysis for the Phase 2 AMPLIFY-7P trial remains expected in 1H 2026, with trial completion and readout still the central value driver for ELI-002 7P in resected mKRAS PDAC. [#PR-2026-03-12] [#10-K-2026-03-12]

EVENT2026-09-30
Post-readout FDA alignment and Phase 3 path
After the primary DFS analysis, Elicio plans to request an End-of-Phase 2 FDA meeting and finalize the Phase 3 protocol for a registrational study, so any favorable readout could be followed by a clearer regulatory path rather than remaining purely exploratory. [#PR-2026-03-12]

ATM financing and runway overhang into Q3 2026
2026-07-31
The March 16, 2026 8-K established a new up-to-$100.0 million at-the-market facility, while the 10-K states there is substantial doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern and management expects cash on hand to fund operations only into Q3 2026; this supports operations but keeps dilution risk front and center.

The Memorial Sloan Kettering/Lustgarten Foundation investigator-initiated neoadjuvant Phase 1 study of ELI-002 7P with mFOLFIRINOX and optional anti-PD-1 was disclosed as expected to commence in H1 2026, offering a secondary platform-expansion signal if enrollment begins on time. [#PR-2025-09-29]

Risks

AMPLIFY-7P is the dominant driver and the readout is binary despite encouraging prior immune-response and IDMC signals.
Low coverage and low catalyst density increase gap-risk and reduce confidence in any precise valuation framework.
The 2026 10-K says substantial doubt exists about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The March 2026 ATM facility improves funding flexibility but creates meaningful dilution and stock-supply overhang.

Peers

Symbol	Summary
CRBP	Corbus is a loose small-cap biotech comp where valuation is also highly event- and financing-sensitive; useful mainly for comparing clinical binary-risk trading behavior rather than product overlap.
SPRO	Spero is another loose microcap biotech comp with recurrent capital-markets dependence and sharp catalyst-driven moves, relevant for funding-risk and sentiment comparisons.
MCRB	Seres is a broader but still useful biotech comp for how single-program execution, regulatory visibility, and cash runway can dominate equity value in subscale development-stage names.
