Oppenheimer commented on Seattle Genetics (NASDAQ: SGEN) after this weekend's ASCO. The firm said adcetris retreatment/new indications becoming clearer.

The firm comments, "In the ongoing ph.II retreatment study, Adcetris demonstrated 70%/88% ORR for HL/ALCL (n=14/8), respectively. Importantly, the ORR in this trial continues to be very strong, and we expect growing interest in retreatment for Adcetris in HL/ALCL. Additionally, non-lymphoma screening data showed elevated CD30 expression in mesothelioma (28%), melanoma (9%), triple negative breast cancer (6%), and ovarian cancer (5%), which could represent sizable new commercial opportunities for Adcetris. Last, Adcetris showed encouraging activity in a ph.II relapsed/refractory CD30+ NHL trial (n=14), with a 36% ORR."

The firm maintained their Outperform rating and price target of $26.00.
