“We believe the Phase 2 study could report top-line results in early 2020. If AG013 could significantly reduce the duration and lower the incidence of 2 data may serve as one of the two pivotal data sets required to support regulatory filing, in our view. AG013 has been granted Fast Track designation in the U.S. and Orphan Drug status in Europe. In the wake of this update, we reiterate our Buy rating and $2 price target. Preclinical data of lantibiotics published. Lantibiotics have been developed to possess both strong antimicrobial properties as well as the ability to evade common resistance mechanisms. Last week, preclinical data of the company’s lantibiotic compound, OG253, were published in Toxicology and Applied Pharmacology.”
