$AKRO Citi initiated coverage of Akero Therapeutics with a Buy rating and $65 price target. Akero is a clinical stage biotech developing efruxifermin, a novel FGF21 agonist, as a potential best-in-disease therapy for the treatment of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm says efruxifermin has demonstrated compelling efficacy for MASH with moderate to advanced fibrosis that is likely to support meaningful uptake, particularly for more severe patients, despite launching into an established market.

$AKRO sorry...read last 4 posts from me, bottoms up!

$AKRO "We believe that, taken together, the suite of presentations provides evidence supporting the consistent anti-fibrotic effects of EFX observed to date in the HARMONY trial as well as the the clinical activity and generally favorable safety profile of EFX in patients with precirrhotic MASH (F2-F3). The ongoing Phase 3 SYNCHRONY program is designed to confirm a favorable benefit-risk profile and support marketing applications for EFX for the treatment of MASH

$AKRO The second poster presentation shows that 30% of participants receiving EFX 50mg for 96 weeks had almost complete reversal of MASH-related disease, as indicated by reversal of fibrosis to Fless than or equal to1, resolution of MASH, and normalization of liver fat content to less than or equal to5%, compared to 0% of participants on placebo. In addition, 100% of participants who received EFX 50mg for 96 weeks were categorized as "low risk of progressive MASH" by FibroScan-AST score. In contrast, 48% of participants receiving placebo remained at high or indeterminate risk of progressive MASH. Based on the same analyses, the extent of reversal of disease relative to placebo was smaller for participants receiving EFX 28mg than 50mg.

$AKRO We believe these new analyses provide further evidence for the potential of EFX to be a differentiated therapy for MASH." One poster presents an orthogonal analysis of baseline, week 24, and week 96 liver biopsies from HARMONY by HistoIndex. This analysis corroborates the pattern of anti-fibrotic effects observed with conventional pathology after treatment with EFX for 24 or 96 weeks. Specifically, a quantitative analysis by qFibrosis across different zones of the liver revealed EFX-associated reductions in fibrosis primarily in the perisinusoidal and periportal zones that were sustained or expanded from weeks 24 through 96 for participants, regardless of baseline fibrosis stage.

$AKRO Akero to showcase new analyses of Phase 2b HARMONY study at AASLD Akero Therapeutics announced results of analyses supporting the clinical activity of efruxifermin in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis in one oral presentation and two late-breaking poster presentations at the 75th Annual American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases The Liver Meeting, held November 15-19, 2024, in San Diego. "The data to be presented at The Liver Meeting show that 96 weeks of treatment with EFX has the potential to drive substantial reversal of disease in patients living with pre-cirrhotic MASH," said Kitty Yale, chief development officer of Akero. "We are encouraged by consistent improvements observed across a number of clinically established markers of liver health and the corroboration of conventional histopathology assessments with Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based digital pathology.

😏🚀 MYNZ We know the date of the reverse split (RS) if there will be one, but possibly a Nasdaq extension will be granted. Last time it traded, 50 million and 19 million heavy shorts attacked. Now, it has huge credibility after the TMO partnership and the meeting. The company will decide by November 25th whether or not to do an RS based on Nasdaq's response. Anyway, after the RS, I'm not worried about what happens next. A $210 billion partner TMO signing a deal with a penny stock has never happened before. I will be loading heavy on Monday. This will go to the moon like the DRUG stock recently did. The price target (PT) is $50. The squeeze will be parabolic. $AKRO $SLNO

$SGMT The imbeciles at Goldman Sachs are defending the $6 like their lives depends on it. Otherwise, this stock should be running wild like $ALGS is right now. I remember buying $ALGS at $12, $10 and $9. Just exited today at $20. This one is way way better than $ALGS. But for the shorting and distorting works of Goldman Sachs, this should be well over $20 right now and closer to the market cap of $AKRO.

$AKRO $ETNB $VKTX $ALT Is the thesis that bone density loss is correlated to muscle mass loss? Not sure all the GLP trials are actually testing for bone density? I know this is a red flag 🚩 for the FGF21 class. https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2024/11/12/amgen-stock-falls-on-weight-loss-drugs-bone-density-loss-data.html

$AKRO Akero Therapeutics reports Q3 EPS ($1.05), consensus (90c) "The third quarter of 2024 marked an important milestone for EFX with the first patient dosed in the Phase 3 SYNCHRONY Outcomes study," said Andrew Cheng, president and CEO. "With this advancement, all three of our Phase 3 studies are actively enrolling - furthering our assessment of the safety and efficacy of EFX and moving us closer to delivering a differentiated treatment option, if approved, to patients living with MASH."
