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

• 1. 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."

• 2. 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)
• 3. Needham & Company LLC analysts commented, "Alnylam reported additional results from Phase 2 OLE trial of fitusiran in Hemophilia A and B pts w/ and w/ o inhibitors. Efficacy w/ respect to Annualized Bleeding Rate and target antithrombin knockdown remains favorable and consistent w/ prior data from this program. Alnylam reported several asymptomatic >3X ALT elevations, one of which led to a discontinuation. Mgmt believes these events may be tied to HCV infection, highlighting that all events occurred in pts w/ history of HCV and most significant events were observed in pts w/ active infection. Alnylam is excluding Hemophilia pts w/ active HCV infection from Phase 3 trials. Data from Phase 1 trial published today are not consistent with a dose-dependent impact on ALT elevation. We continue to have a favorable view towards the program given current overall profile (safety, efficacy, and convenience), but acknowledge a level of risk around liver enzymes, which will probably not be clarified until Phase 3 completed."
