UPDATE - Canaccord Genuity upgraded Omeros Corp. (NASDAQ: OMER) from Hold to Buy, price target raised from $5 to $13.

Analyst, Ritu Baral, said, "Upgrading to BUY, raising target to $13 on increased chance of OMS302 success in eye surgery...Impressive efficacy data from first OMS302 Phase 3 trial gives us high confidence in second Phase 3 data for Q4/12E, a key catalyst. Yesterday, OMER announced the first Phase 3 OMS302 trial hit primary and secondary endpoints and responder analysis with high levels of significance. Given the second Phase 3 closely resembles the first, we think its chance of success is very high."

"We think OMS302 could reach significant market share in the growing cataract and lens replacement surgery market. There are over 3.6M of these procedures in the US alone, and surgery rates are growing."
