Oppenheimer maintains an 'Outperform' on Trius Therapeutics (NASDAQ: TSRX) price target of $12.00.

Analyst, Christopher Holterhoff, said, "On 9/11, TSRX presented new clinical and pre-clinical data, including updated Phase III data from lead product candidate, Tedizolid at the ICAAC conference. Whereas top-line data in 4Q11 showed Tedizolid was non-inferior vs. Zyvox in ABSSSI (10% margin) in terms of early clinical response (79.5% vs. 79.4% Zyvox arm), updated data shows numerical superiority for Tedizolid, with respect to fever-excluded clinical success. Updated safety data shows Tedizolid was associated with fewer treatment-related AE's, with a statistically significant reduction in GI side effects at day 7, fewer incidences of myelosuppression and a lack of MAO (monoamine oxidase-A) inhibition, relative to Zyvox. We anticipate readout from study '113 (1Q13) as the next catalyst."
