Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Epizyme stock:

• 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Epizyme's efforts on developing its lead candidate, tazemetostat, for a number of hematological malignancies and genetically defined solid tumors are impressive. Additionally, its attempts to evaluate tazemetostat in combination with anti-PD 1 or PDL-1 agent are also encouraging. We believe, the  company’s collaboration agreement with Celgene for small-molecule HMT inhibitors including pinometostat is a big positive. Epizyme’s share price has also outperformed the Zacks classified Medical/Biomedical Genetics industry year to date. However, with no approved product in its portfolio, Epizyme is highly dependent on its collaboration partners for top-line growth. Loss estimates have narrowed mostly stable lately ahead of the Q2 results. Epizyme has a positive record of earnings surprises in the recent quarters." (7/18/2017)
• 2. Cann analysts commented, "Epizyme, Inc. announced today that the US Food and Drug Administration has granted Orphan Drug designation to Tazemetostat, for the treatment of patients with soft tissue sarcoma (STS). Management reported they are looking forward to continued engagement with FDA on Tazemetostat for rapid development in both solid tumors and hematological malignancies. Orphan Drug status for Tazemetostat supports our expectation that Epizyme could launch it in 2018. While the company has only guided to a goal of filing Tazemetostat with FDA by early 2018, we anticipate the drug could be approved and launched in the same year, due to the high unmet need in the settings where it is being developed: rare hematologic and solid tumor cancers."

• 3. Cowen and Company analysts commented, "Abstracts from ICML further support BGB-3111’s efficacy profile as being superior." (6/7/2017)
