- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Cara Therapeutics, Inc. is a biopharmaceutical company. The company is focused on developing and commercializing new chemical entities designed to alleviate pain. Cara Therapeutics, Inc. is based in Shelton, United States. " (1/14/2019)
- 2. Cantor Fitzgerald analysts commented, "Compelling P2 safety and clinical activity data have been used to guide the design and risk-reduce pivotal P3 studies of IV KORSUVA in CKD-aP hemodialysis pts, from which we expect data in 2019. Our conviction for this program is bolstered by the significant partnership signed with a worldwide provider of hemodialysis services, which we believe validates the clinical and commercial potential. In addition, clinical success in CKD-aP could translate to other indications associated with pruritus, such as chronic liver disease, which should expand KORSUVA’s market opportunity." (10/4/2018)
- 3. HC Wainwright analysts commented, "We view this as a clear positive for the company, as it brings in minimally- dilutive financing ($50M cash plus $20M equity investment at $17/ share), validates our view on Korsuva, and de-risks the U.S. commercial launch. Despite the headline ex-US deal, we’re more focused on the new U.S. arrangement here because we don’t yet include ex-US in our model until we get more clarity on the regulatory and reimbursement landscape (our valuation is all-U.S.), and we assume the U.S. was also the primary value driver here for Vifor Fresenius as well. Vifor Fresenius is a JV of Vifor (VIFN:SW) and Fresenius Medical Care AG (FMS; not covered). We believe Vifor Fresenius is the best possible commercial partner for Cara, with Fresenius itself owning nearly 40% of U.S. dialysis centers." (5/23/2018)
