Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about VERONA PHARMA P/S stock:
- 1. Wedbush analysts commented, "FDA approved Cabometyx (cabozantinib) for patients with advanced HCC post sorafenib treatment. The approval is an important milestone supporting cabozantinib growth beyond RCC and MTC into the large HCC opportunity. The approval is based on Ph3 Celestial data demonstrating statistically significant improvements in OS of cabozantinib (10.2 months) vs placebo (8.0 months). Median PFS was more than doubled with cabozantinib (5.2 months) vs placebo (1.9 months). Safety was acceptable with 16% discontinuations on drug. We expect an immediate launch since sales force was prepared and a small impact on SG&A. We expect launch ramp in HCC slightly below RCC despite the unmet need, since HCC treatment regimen is less well established and involves outsized use of radiation therapy. HCC approval should support continued cabozantinib growth." (1/14/2019)
