THE RUNDOWN

1

BlossomHill Therapeutics filed for a $100M Nasdaq Global Select Market IPO under proposed ticker BLSM, with J.P. Morgan, Leerink Partners and Guggenheim Securities as lead underwriters

2

The clinical-stage oncology company, founded in 2020, has raised over $257M privately and reported a $60.6M net loss in 2025, developing small-molecule therapies for EGFR-mutant lung cancer and other solid and blood cancers

3

Its lead candidate targets EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer, currently in a global Phase 1/2 trial, with proceeds earmarked to advance that program alongside a second candidate for relapsed leukemia

4

The filing lands alongside Latigo's priced IPO in the same week, reinforcing that this summer's biotech listing window is filling with genuine clinical-stage pipelines across multiple disease categories, not just a single hot therapeutic area

The VC Read · Trace's Take

Trace Cohen

Spreading a $100M IPO across three separate cancer programs is a different risk profile than Latigo's single-mechanism bet -- less binary if one trial disappoints, but also a harder story for public investors to underwrite cleanly since there's no single catalyst to rally around. I'd want to see which program the roadshow ends up emphasizing before assuming this prices anywhere near the top of a future range.

Analysis

BlossomHill Therapeutics filed to go public on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the proposed ticker BLSM, targeting a $100 million raise with J.P. Morgan, Leerink Partners and Guggenheim Securities leading the offering, according to [TradingView News](https://www.tradingview.com/news/tradingview:d634ba32b6bba:0-blossomhill-therapeutics-clinical-stage-oncology-biotech-files-for-nasdaq-global-select-market-ipo/).

A Multi-Program Oncology Pipeline

The clinical-stage company, founded in 2020, has raised more than $257 million privately and reported a $60.6 million net loss in 2025. Its most advanced program, EGFR inhibitor BH-30643, is in a global Phase 1/2 trial targeting EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer, with proceeds earmarked to push that program forward alongside BH-30236, a CLK blocker being evaluated for relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia, and IND-enabling work on a third, pan-KRAS candidate.

Part of a Broader Summer Pipeline

BlossomHill's filing lands the same week Latigo Biotherapeutics priced its own $272 million IPO, reinforcing that the current biotech listing window is filling with genuine clinical-stage companies across multiple disease categories -- oncology and non-opioid pain, in these two cases -- rather than concentrating in a single hot therapeutic area the way earlier IPO cycles sometimes did.

What to watch: whether BlossomHill's roadshow produces pricing at, above, or below its initial $100 million target once it sets terms, and whether its multi-program pipeline structure -- spreading risk across three separate cancer indications -- proves more or less attractive to public investors than Latigo's more concentrated, single-mechanism bet.
