Alexion maintained at buy by Merrill
Merrill Lynch analyst David Munno kept Alexion Pharmaceuticals Inc. at a buy rating. Alexion submitted its Biologics License Application for Soliris for the treatment of paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) to the Food and Drug Administration about six weeks earlier than expected. Merrill anticipates a priority review since PNH is a rare orphan disease. In addition, data from the phase 3 Triumph trial of Soliris were published in the New England Journal of Medicine indicating broad efficacy across all patients and better stabilization of hemoglobin. Shares of the Cheshire, Conn.-based biotechnology company were down 63 cents, or 1.89%, at $32.79. (Nasdaq: ALXN)
