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

Analyst, George Farmer, said, "Although details remain undisclosed, management expresses high confidence in the data strength of TIVO-1, AVEO’s Phase III registration trial designed to support regulatory approval of lead asset tivozanib as front-line treatment of metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Recall top-line results revealed last month indicated that TIVO-1 met its primary endpoint of PFS improvement relative to approved RCC drug Nexavar. T-nib tolerability was comparable to what was observed in Phase II, per press release, which supports our view that t-nib may be the safest of its class. We believe this data will suffice for U.S. and EU regulatory approvals, which we model in 2013 and 2014, respectively."
