Canaccord Genuity reiterates a 'Buy' on Synta Pharma (NASDAQ: SNTA) price target of $8.00.

Analyst, George Farmer, said, "We reiterate our rating on SNTA shares on our view of ganetespib promise for treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and potentially other solid tumors."

"The company intends to follow a g-pib regulatory path mirroring that of Xalkori (crizotinib; Pfizer (NYSE: PFE)), which recently won accelerated approval in ALK+ NSCLC on the basis of two single-arm studies showing durable 50% and 61% response rates, respectively. Enrolling SNTA’s trial ex-U.S. (where Xalkori is unavailable), while targeting both chemo-naïve and -experienced patients, should ensure rapid recruitment, in our view."
