- 3. Needham & Company LLC analysts commented, "Aquinox reported 1Q18 financial results today and we spoke with mgmt for an update. The rosiptor Phase 3 LEADERSHIP trial in Interstitial Cystitis (IC)/ Bladder Pain Syndrome (BPS) remains on track for top-line results in 3Q18, most likely in July. 12wk trial was completed in Feb 2018. We expect a positive outcome based on Phase 2 data. Mgmt plans to revisit Phase 3 design w/ FDA prior to initiation of a planned second Phase 3 trial, which we believe may begin around YE18. Patient screening in a Phase 2 trial of rosiptor in Chronic Prostatitis (CP/ CPPS) is underway. Reiterate BUY. We do not believe the stock adequately reflects value of rosiptor program in BPS/IC."

Quentin Clemens, chief of the Division of Neurourology and Pelvic Reconstruction, urology director for female pelvic medicine and professor of urology at the University of Michigan.

We reiterate our BUY rating." (12/19/2017)
