What are Wall Street analysts saying about ASLAN PHARMACEU/ADR stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about ASLAN PHARMACEU/ADR stock:
- 1. HC Wainwright analysts commented, "We note that approved irreversible pan-HER inhibitors have not shown meaningful clinical efficacy in TNBC. These newly published preclinical data have demonstrated that varlitinib is able to inhibit migration, invasion and mammosphere formation in TNBC cells, and therefore, has the potential to deliver clinically meaningful efficacy. Reversible inhibitors could also have a better safety profile than irreversible drugs. We believe ASLAN could seek a partner for further development of varlitinib in TNBC. In the wake of this update, we reiterate our Buy rating and $8.50 price target. Varlitinib showed positive efficacy in first-line BTC. Last week, ASLAN Pharmaceuticals reported positive preliminary data from the ongoing Phase 1b/2 trial of varlitinib + gemcitabine and cisplatin (gem/cis) in first-line biliary tract cancer (BTC)."
