But before you rush to purchase Iovance stock, let's dig in a little more and figure out whether it's worth your money

Moreover, What it would take for Iovance's s to soar The bio industry is volatile: A smaller drugmaker's s can double -- or more -- in a year if enough things go its way

For Iovance Biotherapeutics, several things would have to happen for the cancer specialist to turn its recent misfortunes around and see its stock price skyrocket

First, Iovance would need to report better-than-expected financial results -- always a recipe for success for any company

The ramp-up of the company's most important duct, melanoma (skin cancer) medicine Amtagvi, isn't going as well as Iovance had hoped, in today's market environment

Amtagvi was first apved last year, marking a breakthrough as the first medicine of its kind to receive apval in the U

For advanced melanoma

The science behind it is quite impressive: Amtagvi is manufactured from patients' own tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), a kind of white blood cells that target and kill cancer cells

Nevertheless, Here's the drawback: Amtagvi can only be administered in authorized treatment centers (ATCs), and the manufacturing cess for the medicine takes 34 days

Nevertheless, Iovance revised its guidance downward because it had miscalculated the timing of its ATC network expansion

However, if the bio can report stronger results than Wall Street currently expects over the next year, it would indicate that the launch of Amtagvi is accelerating, sending the company's s higher

Second, Iovance is seeking apval for its leading duct in other regions, including Canada, Europe, and Australia

Consistent wins on this front might also jolt the stock price

Furthermore, Third, Iovance is testing Amtagvi across a range of other targets, including non-small cell lung cancer, which represents a large market, given the current landscape

Nevertheless, If the company can der positive mid- or late-stage data in these clinical trials for its crown jewel, that too could send the stock price soaring, given current economic conditions

Finally, Iovance is facing a class-action lawsuit for alleged securities fraud

It's challenging to envision how that could be resolved within the next 12 months

Moreover, However, if the company can overcome this headwind, it would remove one significant risk it faces

Consider all the risks Iovance Biotherapeutics has significant upside potential due to the genius of its TIL platform and Amtagvi's sales trajectory

That's not bad for a medicine that was apved just last year (an important development), in light of current trends

Even so, there are significant risks associated with the stock, especially given the challenges of administering Amtagvi

Furthermore, Moreover, Iovance may face clinical and regulatory setbacks, and the outcome of the lawsuit is uncertain (which is quite significant)

Moreover, In fact, it's not whether the stock will move in the right direction at all, given current economic conditions

Moreover, I believe investors should steer of this company, in this volatile climate
