Canaccord Genuity maintains a 'Buy' on Anthera Pharma (NASDAQ: ANTH) price target cut from $13 to $6.

Analyst, Ritu Baral, said, "Maintain rating, lowering target after varespledib development stop on DSMB recommendation. We still expect blisibimod, ANTH’s Phase 2/3 BAFF peptibody for lupus, will yield positive data from the PEARL-SC trial in June. We also expect ANTH to start Phase 2 blisibimod trials in other B-cell disorders related to lupus to leverage market potential and diversify clinical risk. We lowered our pNPV-based target to $6 after removing varespledib from our valuation."
