• 2. Jefferies Group LLC analysts commented, "RIGL is on track to submit an NDA for fosta in ITP in 1Q17; next major catalyst could be FDA acceptance by ~May given mixed Ph3 data & limited FDA interactions following Ph3 data. YE16 cash of ~$75M, plus net proceeds of $43M from recent offering, should be sufficient at least for next 12 months including pre-commercial activities, per RIGL. If fosta is approved in ITP, we see >50% upside to our current PT of $5." (3/8/2017)
• 3. BMO Capital Markets analysts commented, "We remain focused on fostamatinib's pending NDA submission, which we believe supports approval given clear and consistent benefit in ITP, despite one pivotal trial missing statistical significance. We believe reaching an FDA Adcom would be a positive event, as a panel of clinicians would likely recommend approval. Additionally, we believe the fostamatinib addressable patient population is larger than the 18% stable response rate, as real world use would include patients who maintain platelet counts greater than 30K/ul, according to physician feedback. We rate RIGL shares Outperform." (3/8/2017)
