Susquehanna initiates coverage on SciClone Pharmaceuticals (Nasdaq: SCLN) with a Neutral.

Susquehanna analyst says, "Our rating is driven by our concerns for the outcome of the Sigma Tau EU trial for Zadaxin. We do believe that the existing value of SPIL (SciClone Pharmaceutical International China Limited), where Zadaxin is expected to reach $50 mln in top-line revenue this year, does justify a higher valuation; however, we believe investors are ignoring the value in SPIL in front of the Zadaxin outcome expected soon. Based on our analysis of the data, we believe that if statistical significance is reached, it will be only minimally so, and as such, we are not very enthusiastic for the outcome."

SciClone Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (SciClone ) is a biopharmaceutical company engaged in the development and commercialization of therapeutics to treat life-threatening diseases.
