Canaccord Genuity reiterates a 'Buy' on Tranzyme (NASDAQ: TZYM) price target of $7.00.

Analyst, Ritu Baral, said, "Reiterate rating and price target on lead drug ulimorelin (uli) potential for Phase 3 clinical, commercial success in postoperative ileus (POI). POI is a post-surgical gut disorder that leads to longer hospital stays and higher healthcare costs. We believe the two uli Phase 3 POI trials will yield positive data in H1/12, an NDA submission in early 2013 and a 2014 launch. Our $7 target is based on a pNPV analysis and includes potential sales of Phase 2 TZP-102 for diabetic gastroparesis."

"Dr. Binderow thinks Entereg provides meaningful benefit in both open and laparoscopic GI surgery, supported by Premier study data...Dr. Binderow views uli as potentially achieving wider use than Entereg due to a cleaner safety profile and independence of prior opioid use."
