Leerink Swann initiates coverage on CellaVision AB (NASDAQ: CLVS) with a Outperform. Low $20's/share valuation.

Leerink analyst says, "We are initiating coverage on CLVS, a development-stage biotechnology company with three attractive oncology assets that have been assembled through in-licensing by the same team that assembled Pharmion (sold to Celgene (Nasdaq: CELG) for $2.9B in 2007). Lead program CO-101 is a lipid-conjugated gemcitabine in-licensed from Clavis Oncology in a pivotal Phase IIb study for pancreatic cancer with results expected in 2H12. CO-338 is a PARP inhibitor in-licensed from PFE (MP), which is in Phase I/II studies, while CO-1686 is an EGFR-inhibitor in-licensed from Avila and which has activity against the T790M mutation that confers resistance to Tarceva/Iressa and will be entering clinical development soon. Success with any of these programs could drive substantial upside to current valuation."
