“We believe the upcoming release of results from the VISTA study could be a major catalyst for the stock.”

Vicinium, like other TPTs, provides lower immunogenicity and better stability and tumor penetration, the analyst said. 

In previous Phase 1 and 2 studies, Vicinium was well-tolerated, demonstrated no dose-limiting toxicities and achieved a response rate of approximately 40 percent at three months, Rakamanth said. 

Price Action

Eleven Bio was trading up 7.6 percent at $1.13 at the time of publication Tuesday.
