Jefferies sees ‘overreaction’ to article on Disc Medicine’s EPP approvability

After attending Disc Medicine’s (IRON) analyst call in response to the media article that expressed concerns regarding CNPV program and mentioned potential timeline extension on the company’s Bitopertin/Erythropoietic Protoporphyria approval and skepticism on efficacy by FDA leader, Jefferies analyst Roger Song says that while the CNPV program’s timeline may be under pressure with increasing demand, the firm remains confident on Bitopertin’s approval in EPP under CNPV, based on robust efficacy/safety, significant unmet needs, and to-date review experience. The firm sees today’s movement as a stock overreaction. Jefferies has a Buy rating on the shares with a price target of $154.
