Canaccord Genuity maintains a 'Buy' on AVEO Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: AVEO) price target of $28.00.

Canaccord analyst, George Farmer, said, "Based on compelling data from the AXIS trial reported at ASCO last June, we believe axitinib will be recommended for broad treatment, including use in front-line disease. We believe the Street shares this view and already sees axitinib as a potentially meaningful competitor to tivozanib, which AVEO management intends to position in front-line RCC as well. We expect minimal impact on AVEO shares if ODAC follows through. Briefing documents are expected for release on Monday, December 5."

"Ahead of a December 7 ODAC meeting to discuss the merits of the NDA for Pfizer’s axitinib, a potential competitor to AVEO’s tivozanib in advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC), we maintain our rating."
