“We believe the study could potentially recruit the sixth evaluable patient and conclude by the end of 2019. As a reminder, prexigebersen is an antisense DNA molecule that blocks expression of growth factor receptor-bound protein 2 (Grb-2). Prexigebersen has shown favorable safety and positive Phase 2 interim data in combination with low-dose cytarabine (LDAC) in elderly patients with AML, demonstrating 65% objective response with a 29% complete response (CR) rate. We expect prexigebersen to demonstrate favorable safety in combination with decitabine as well. In the wake of this update, we reiterate our Buy rating and $28 price target. Triple combo study to start in 2020.”
