Canaccord Genuity maintains a 'Buy' on NPS Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: NPSP) price target of $16.00.
Analyst, Salveen Richter, said, "NPSP hosted an analyst event where Dr. Bilezikian of Columbia University reviewed the Natpara P3 REPLACE data in hypoparathyroidism (N=134. 2:1 Natpara vs. placebo) presented at ENDO. While Natpara met its primary endpoint (53.3% in the Natpara arm had ≥50% reduction in oral calcium and vitamin D with stable serum calcium levels vs. 2.3% in placebo at 24 weeks, p<0.001) and secondary endpoint (42.9% Natpara arm had vitamin D independence with low-dose calcium vs. 5.4% in placebo), as detailed in the abstract, new data showed a trend in a tertiary endpoint (33% in the Natpara arm showed clinical symptomatology vs. 41% in placebo) and a clean safety profile. Net-net, post a positive CHMP recommendation for Gattex approval in short bowel syndrome on Friday, the near-term focus remains on the likely GI Drugs Advisory Panel in 2H12 (we expect a delay in the September 30 PDUFA)."
