Needham analyst Alan Carr maintained a Buy rating on Alnylam Pharma (NASDAQ: ALNY) today and set a price target of $152. The company’s shares opened today at $94.10.
Carr commented:
“Alnylam is expected to announce results of an interim analysis of the Phase 3 trial of givosiran in Acute Hepatic Porphyrias (AHP) later this month. The FDA has reportedly indicated that a statistically significant reduction in biomarker urine ALA level w/ the first 30 enrolled patients may be sufficient for accelerated approval. We expect a positive outcome based on strength of data collected from Phase 1/2 testing, in which profound and durable reductions in urine ALA levels were observed. Mgmt has guided for NDA submission by YE18. We assume U.S. commercial launch in 2H19 and WW peak sales $600-700M. Reiterate BUY.”
