Held by 2 specialist biotech funds
Rock Springs' $16.7M initiating position in GOSS (1.95% of shares outstanding) signals conviction in the biotech's pipeline, likely centered on GB004 for eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE)—a high-unmet-need indication with multiple late-stage competitors (Allakos, Celldex) already in Phase 3. Key near-term catalyst is GB004 Phase 2b data expected in 2H 2024, which will determine competitiveness in a potentially $3-5B market opportunity. The concentrated fund's entry suggests confidence in either differentiated efficacy/safety or valuation arbitrage ahead of clinical readout.
