Canaccord Genuity reiterates a 'Buy' on Anthera Pharma (NASDAQ: ANTH) price target of $6.00.

Analyst, Ritu Baral, said, "Reiterate rating and price target on blisibimod (B--mod) clinical and commercial potential in lupus. We expect that B-mod, ANTH’s BAFF peptibody for lupus, will yield positive data from the Phase 2 PEARL trial in June and that Anthera will start the Phase 3 Chablis trial in Q1/13. Anthera may start Phase 2 B-mod trials in other lupus-related B cell disorders to leverage market potential and diversify clinical risk."

"Future clinical and corporate strategy all hinges on PEARL data details and quality. Final design of the pivotal CHABLIS trial is extremely dependent on upcoming PEARL secondary endpoint data. We also think that the degree of clinical benefit reflected by both primary and second endpoints could greatly impact partnership and BD terms and timing."
