Mediwound (MDWD) Receives a Buy from Oppenheimer


In a report released yesterday, Jay Olson from Oppenheimer maintained a Buy rating on Mediwound (MDWD), with a price target of $15. The company’s shares closed yesterday at $4.89.

Olson noted:

“MDWD announced that the pivotal Ph3 DETECT study of NexoBrid for eschar removal of severe thermal burns met the primary endpoint of complete eschar removal (Exhibit 1). NexoBrid delivered an impressive 93.3% incidence of complete eschar removal on the primary endpoint which compares favorably to 4.0% for vehicle. Primary and secondary efficacy endpoints including incidence of surgical eschar removal, time to complete eschar removal and blood loss all reached a high level of statistical significance (p<0.0001), as did the safety endpoint of time to complete wound closure (p=0.0003). We consider these results a major de-risking event leading us to increase probability of success for Nexobrid in the US to 95% (from 80% prior), driving our new $15 PT (from $14 prior). Maintain Outperform, details inside."
