Oppenheimer commented on ArQule (NASDAQ: ARQL) following this weekend's ASCO noting compelling tivantinib ph.II 2nd-line HCC results.

The firm comments, "The ph.II trial met the primary PFS endpoint, and tivantinib demonstrated significant TTP/PFS/OS benefit (HR=0.43/0.45/0.38) vs. placebo in the high c-MET expression subpopulation (~50% of pts), which, importantly, was a prespecified analysis. Notably, grade 3/4 neutropenia was low (6%) at the 240mg, go-forward dose. Based on these results, we see a clear path to ph.III success, but ARQL currently reflects no value for this opportunity."

The firm maintained their Outperform rating and price target of $11.00
