Ram Selvaraju has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors, primarily centered around the promising clinical data for Anavex Life Sciences’ lead candidate, blarcamesine. The recent Phase 2b/3 trial results indicate that blarcamesine has the potential to stabilize cognitive function in patients with early Alzheimer’s disease, showing barely detectable decline over 48 weeks. This outcome is significant when compared to the typical decline observed in prodromal aging adults, suggesting a substantial therapeutic benefit.
Additionally, the potential for blarcamesine’s entry into the European market further supports the Buy rating. With a large population affected by Alzheimer’s in Europe, the drug’s approval could open significant commercial opportunities. The strategic options available to Anavex, including potential partnerships for commercialization, add to the positive outlook. Overall, these factors contribute to the reiterated Buy rating and a 12-month price target of $42.
