Needham & Company reiterates a 'Buy' on Seattle Genetics (NASDAQ: SGEN) price target of $25.00 (from $20.00).

Analyst, Alan Carr, said, "Data from three ongoing company-sponsored Adcetris clinical trials were presented at the ASCO meeting earlier this week. Results from a Phase 2 retreatment trial indicate physicians can return to the drug and expect efficacy comparable to initial treatment. Encouraging signs of efficacy were seen in the first interim analysis of a Phase 2 trial in CD30+ r/r NHL patients, including r/r DLBCL (4/7 OR). Preliminary data from a large CD30 screening effort in patients with nonlymphomatous tumors suggests that CD30 prevalence is ~2%, with potential enrichment in mesothelioma and melanoma, among others."
