Compass Therapeutics, Inc. has appointed Arjun Prasad as Chief Commercial Officer and Cynthia Sirard, MD, as Chief Medical Officer, effective January 1, 2026. The hires add oncology commercialization and gastrointestinal-focused immuno-oncology clinical development experience to the company’s leadership team.
Prasad brings commercially focused oncology expertise while Sirard adds development experience in GI immuno-oncology. The pairing is expected to strengthen Compass’s capabilities in translating clinical programs toward potential market-ready therapies.
The appointments reinforce Compass’s investment narrative that its immuno-oncology pipeline can move from scientific promise to commercial products, though they do not change the company’s immediate catalysts. Near-term milestones remain clinical data, regulatory developments — including CTX-009’s Fast Track designation pathway in biliary tract cancer — and potential partnership deals. Funding requirements and dilution risk continue to be key concerns for shareholders.
Investor sentiment on fair value varies widely. Simply Wall St community estimates place Compass’s fair value between US$13.23 and US$30.14, reflecting divergent views given the company’s current lack of revenue and dependence on future trial and financing outcomes.
