Oppenheimer analyst Leah R. Cann maintained a Hold rating on Acceleron Pharma (XLRN) yesterday. The company’s shares closed on Friday at $52.93.
Cann noted:
“Results from the BELIEVE study support luspatercept as a potential new treatment for adult patients with β-thalassemia, who require regular red blood cell (RBC) transfusions, and results from MEDALIST support luspatercept in the treatment of patients with lower risk, RS-positive MDS, with RBC transfusion-dependent anemia. The timing of the presentation of the results from BELIEVE and MEDALIST is in line with expectations. These results for luspatercept in beta-thalassemia and in low-risk MDS could provide potential upside to our outlook, which remains unchanged at this time.”
