Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Alnylam Pharmaceuticals stock:

• 1. Needham & Company LLC analysts commented, "Alnylam announced today that dosing of fitusiran, in development for Hemophilia, has been suspended in all clinical trials. A patient death tied to a thrombotic event was reported in ongoing Phase 2 OLE trial and FDA has issued a clinical hold. Alnylam had just initiated a Phase 3 program in Jul 2017. The incident raises questions around safety margin for the drug. Fitusiran is intended to increase thrombin levels closer to normal range. Concerns, however, have been raised around risk of thrombosis if thrombin levels are too high, particularly when used w/ on-demand factor or bypassing agents. Based on available clinical data, we believe fitusiran allows for better control of Hemophilia, but patients and physicians may have a narrower safety window when managing bleeds. Our bias is Alnylam and FDA will reach agreement on a protocol to more closely monitor patients and that clinical development will resume over next 3-6 months. We continue to believe in long-term value of RNAi, but acknowledge greater risk than we anticipated around fitusiran. We have reduced our fitusiran estimates to reflect delayed launch and slower market penetration." (9/7/2017)
• 2. Chardan Capital analysts commented, "We believe far and away the least likely scenario is that patisiran fails to demonstrate efficacy in APOLLO, considering that, as discussed above, the clinical effect of TTR silencing has been de- risked by top-line results from NEURO-TTR. A significant disconnect between the APOLLO and NEURO-TTR studies is, in our view, only possible if, as discussed in the 9 January 2017 company note, the differences in the patient population between the phase II OLE and APOLLO study (APOLLO has more advanced patients than the phase II OLE) leads to a slower rate of mNIS+7 increase in the placebo arm than is expected in natural history since, to our understanding, the NEURO-TTR patient population is likely somewhere between the phase II OLE and APOLLO populations." (8/10/2017)
• 3. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Alnylam expects 2017 to be a pivotal year with its first phase III data read out from the APOLLO study for its late-stage pipeline candidate patisiran. It also plans to advance two additional programs into late-stage trials in 2017 and already commenced a phase III study for one of its candidates-fitusiran in July 2017. The company expects to achieve the profile of three marketed products by the end of 2020. Shares of the company have outperformed the Medical-Biomedical/Genetics industry year-to-date. The company’s RNAi technology has allowed it to ink collaborations with leading pharmaceutical and life sciences companies like Novartis, Roche, Monsanto and Sanofi. These deals not only provide it with funds but also take its RNAi technology outside the core focus area. However, the company’s dependence on collaborations for revenues is concerning." (7/17/2017)
