Vectura (LON:VEC) - Compelling data at ERS
Sep 12th 2012 - Edison Investment Research today published a report on Vectura (VEC.L, LSE:VEC, LON:VEC) entitled "Compelling Data At ERS". In summary, the report says:
Three key regulatory events coupled with milestones from Novartis are expected in H212: the EU and Japan approvals of NVA237 and the QVA149 European MAA filing. Data presentations at the European Respiratory Society (ERS) meeting provided further compelling data on the clinical profiles of these drugs. Detailed Phase III data for QVA149 showed superior lung function against all comparators, including its constituents (indacaterol and NVA237), current gold standard COPD therapies (Spiriva and Advair) and placebo. The closest LAMA/LABA competitor, GSK/Theravance’s UMEC/VI, fared less well, with dose ranging data that might raise FDA questions.
