In a report released today, Leah R. Cann from Oppenheimer maintained a Buy rating on Epizyme (EPZM), with a price target of $27. The company’s shares opened today at $7.42, close to its 52-week low of $6.90.
Cann commented:
“The interim data for Tazemetostat in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma had a data cut- off of 11 more months than the last analysis. The ORR for the combined mutant and wild type patients receiving monotherapy was lower than the last analysis and the same in both arms of the trial. The mDOR of 44.2 weeks (11.0 months), and mPFS, of 15.9 weeks, were impressive in the mutant cohort. Duration of response compares favorably to the reference data of 9.2 months, detailed on pp. 46-47 in our report 2018-2019 Edition. The data released today support Tazemetostat’s potential in follicular lymphoma and supports our expectations for launch.”
