I added CADL (Candel Therapeutics) to my swings watchlist on March 20, 2026. The stock was added to my watchlist based on a compelling clinical pipeline with multiple shots on goal.
The company’s lead asset, CAN-2409 (aglatimagene), is an immunotherapy designed to trigger the immune system to attack cancer across several tumor types.
The most advanced programme is in prostate cancer, where the Phase 3 trial demonstrated approximately a 30% reduction in recurrence or death risk, with a BLA regulatory filing planned for Q4 2026 (a near-term, binary catalyst worth watching).
In lung cancer (NSCLC), earlier studies showed tumor shrinkage and signs of durable benefit, with the Phase 3 trial set to begin Q2 2026 (a likely defining moment for the company’s valuation).
The pancreatic cancer programme remains in its early stages but adds long-term upside optionality.
Critically, the company was well-funded following a recent public offering that extended its cash runaway through late 2027, removing near-term dilution risk from the equation.
