BMO Capital analyst Evan David Seigerman reiterated an Outperform rating and $325.00 price target on Vertex (NASDAQ: VRTX).
The analyst comments: "FDA lifted the clinical hold on Vertex's Phase 1/2 trial of VX-880, a stem cell-derived islet cell replacement therapy for T1D, allowing the company to screen, enroll and dose in the US. Recall, Vertex achieved proof-of-concept in May, but the clinical hold concurrent with dosing a third patient with the target dose was unexpected. This update puts the program back on track to enroll patients in Part B and C in the US trial imminently."
