Oppenheimer boosted its price target on Outperform-rated Celldex Therapeutics (NASDAQ: CLDX) from $8 to $10 following final data from the Phase IIb (EMERGE) of CDX-011 in metastatic breast cancer (BC) were.

The firm notes, "CDX-011 was well tolerated and the response rate in triple negative BC was 19% compared to 0% for the investigator's choice (IC) arm. High GPNMB expressing tumors had a CDX-011 response rate of 32% vs. 13% for IC. Although EMERGE was not designed to show overall survival (OS), there was a trend toward OS across all patients. The high GPNMB expressing triple negative subgroup achieved statistically significant improvement in progression free survival (PFS) and OS. Celldex is planning to meet with the FDA later this month to discuss the registration strategy."
