Needham & Company maintains a 'Hold' on Omeros Corp. (NASDAQ: OMER).

Needham analyst says, "Omeros initiated Phase 3 trials of OMS302 (Ketorolac/ Phenylephrine) in eye surgery and OMS-103HP (Ketoprofen, Amitriptyline, and Oxymetazoline) in meniscectomy surgery in 2011. Results from the former are expected in 1Q12 and from the latter around mid-2012. Both trials continue to enroll patients. Encouraging indications of activity were seen in prior corresponding Phase 2 trials. However, we are cautious around the company’s pharmacosurgery programs given the failure of OMS103HP in an ACL surgery trial in 2011."

"The company has reported substantial progress in its screening effort against orphan GPCRs, having identified leads against at least 16 targets. Management plans to seek collaborators prior to advancing these programs through development...Omeros ended 3Q11 with $32.9M in cash. We believe this is sufficient through 2012."
