Sarepta Therapeutics - Orphan prospects
Jul 31st 2012 - Edison Investment Research today published a report on Sarepta Therapeutics entitled "Orphan Prospects". In summary, the report says:
Sarepta Therapeutics (formerly AVI BioPharma) has reported impressive initial data from a Phase IIb study with its lead product eteplirsen (AVI-4658) in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), triggering a share price rise of 190%. A Phase III trial will probably be started in 2013. Despite the major re-rating of the shares, there remains further upside. There are currently limited treatments for patients with DMD, and this data also provides validation of Sarepta’s RNA-based product platform.
