| 09:29 EDT | | AZN | AstraZeneca says Phase III studies of Naloxegol met primary, secondary endpoints
AstraZeneca (AZN) presented the results of two pivotal Phase III studies of naloxegol showing the 25 mg dose of the investigational drug met its primary and secondary endpoints for efficacy and showed a safety profile consistent with previous studies. Data was presented at the Digestive Disease Week meeting in Orlando, Florida. The primary endpoint in both trials was percentage of OIC responders, versus placebo, over 12 weeks of treatment. The secondary endpoints included the 12-week response rate in a laxative inadequate response population, the median time to first spontaneous bowel movement and the number of days per-week with at least one bowel movement. Plans for naloxegol will be finalized over the coming months, incorporating the outcome of ongoing discussions with health authorities in the US, EU and Canada, the company said. Naloxegol, a peripherally-acting mu-opioid receptor antagonist, has been specifically designed for the treatment of opioid-induced constipation and is part of the exclusive worldwide license agreement announced on 21 September 2009, between AstraZeneca and Nektar Therapeutics (NKTR). |

Leerink says a takeover price for Shire (SHPG) would need to be at least $110 per share in order to get the company's board to consider a sale. The firm notes a Daily Mail report last night said Bristol-Myers (BMY) has engaged advisors to study an acquisition of Shire and that Shire's CEO has contacted bankers to consider anti-takeover measures. Leerink believes a Bristol-Myers takeover of Shire would make sense and keeps an Outperform rating on Shire. |
