Mizuho said -- Next month, we expect EYPT to report top-line P3 LUGANO data, the first readout from two identical, pivotal, non-inferiority studies evaluating Duravyu (the co's tyrosine kinase inhibitor/TKI-based maintenance therapy) in wet AMD/WAMD (with P3 LUCIA data expected to follow shortly after).
Ahead of data, we raise our PT to
$39 (vs.
$36 prior), based on an increase in our POS assumption to 75% (vs. 70% prior), following recent channel checks with KOLs and investors.
Additionally, we preview the opportunity, where we continue to see a favorable setup.
Bigger picture, we believe Duravyu is positioned to become a best-in-class TKI product for wAMD, and seeing meaningful stock upside in what we view to be a de-risked opportunity, we stay OP-rated on EYPT, a Mizuho Top Pick.
