Leerink Swann initiated coverage on Optimer Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: OPTR) with a Outperform rating and price target of $25.00.
Analysts think Optimer Pharmaceuticals represents a solid near- and long-term biotech pick for based on potential of approved drug DIFICID (fidaxomicin).
“Near-term sales growth is likely to be driven by maturing DIFICID hospital formulary access, implementation of CMS’s New Technology Add-on Payment (NTAP) reimbursement program, and increasing use in Long- Term Care facilities (LTCs),” said analyst Marko Kozul.
“Longer term, sNDA approval of DIFICID for special immune-compromised populations such as those undergoing Bone Marrow Transplants (BMT) should provide another key revenue driving inflection point,” he added.
