Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about ProQR Therapeutics stock:
- 1. Cantor Fitzgerald analysts commented, ". Initiating at OW and $40 12-month PT. ProQR is a European RNA-based platform technology company focused on developing therapeutics for inherited blindness. Although shares are up close to 500% YTD (vs. XBI down 9%) after positive proof of concept in first ophthalmology drug QR-110, we think this could be just the beginning of a major turning point for the company’s platform. In September, ProQR established the first proof of concept for its RNA platform in inherited ophthalmology with lead asset QR-110. We think QR-110 could be just the tip of the iceberg in terms of PRQR’s platform potential in inherited forms of blindness. In this report, we are focused on the company’s next clinical program in Usher’s Syndrome which represents a larger opportunity than QR-110 (we estimate $1.1B peak vs. $300M peak) and is guided to have clinical data in 2019."
