Canaccord Genuity reiterates a 'Buy' on Tranzyme (NASDAQ: TZYM) price target of $7.00.

Canaccord Genuity analyst, Ritu Baral, said, "Reiterate rating and price target on lead drug ulimorelin’s (uli’s) potential for Phase 3 and commercial success in postoperative ileus (POI). POI is a post-surgical gut disorder that leads to longer hospital stays and higher healthcare costs. We believe the two uli Phase 3 POI trials will yield positive data in H1/12, an NDA submission in early 2013 and a 2014 launch."

"Entereg marketing by Cubist (Nasdaq: CBST) may be a double--edged sword for uli. Cubist’s marketing muscle should help raise profile of POI and the pharmacoeconomic advantages of decreasing hospital stays. We think this may prime the market for uli’s launch. On the flip side, Entereg is likely to gain formulary adoptions and become a stronger competitor to uli."
