Leerink Partners analyst Andrew Berens initiates coverage on Sensei Biotherapeutics (NASDAQ: SNSE) with a Outperform rating and a price target of $50.00.

The analyst comments "We are initiating coverage on SNSE with a $50/sh PT and OP rating. • SNSE acquired Faeth Therapeutics and is developing PIKTOR, a combination of serabelisib (PI3Kα inhibitor) and sapanisertib (mTORC1/2 inhibitor) to target the PI3K/AKT/mTOR (PAMT) pathway with a multi-node approach. • The efficacy of a multi-node approach over a single-node approach is validated by CELC’s (OP) gedatolisib (geda) in the VIKTORIA-1 trial. • PIKTOR is differentiated through its selective PI3Kα inhibition (vs. pan-PI3K), oral administration, and dosing strategy. Early data suggest low rates of hyperglycemia and stomatitis. • Ongoing Ph 2 trial in endometrial cancer will provide proof-of-concept for PIKTOR safety and broader applicability throughout oncology. Ph 2 data in endometrial expected by YE26."
