Risk / opportunity radar
Composite model · Sep 2026CEO take
- VERIFY P3 fully enrolled; addresses phlebotomy-dependence, a clear unmet need
- Orphan + Fast Track designations in place; Breakthrough granted in PV
- Evidence momentum 74/100 on the back of ASH presentations
- Niche hematology market — payer pushback risk is low but access work unstarted
- Watch: competing PV pipelines (givinostat-class, JAK space) shifting SoC
