Cantor Fitzgerald Reiterates Overweight on Ultragenyx Pharmaceutical, Maintains $116 Price Target

The family of Henrietta Lacks has filed a federal lawsuit in Maryland against Novartis AG (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVS#NYSE">NVS</a>) and Viatris Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VTRS#NASDAQ">VTRS</a>), alleging the companies profited unlawfully from the use of her tissue cells, known as &#8220;HeLa&#8221; cells.
The Lacks estate claims these cells, which were taken without her knowledge in the 1950s, have been crucial to the companies&#8217; drug developments without any compensation or permission granted to her estate.
Ben Crump, the Lacks family attorney, emphasized the historical exploitation of Black individuals in medical research, highlighting Lacks&#8217; story as a stark example.
The lawsuit follows previous actions against Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TMO#NYSE">TMO</a>), which has since been settled, and ongoing litigation against Ultragenyx Pharmaceutical Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RARE#NASDAQ">RARE</a>).

Henrietta Lacks&#8217;s cells were taken from her cervix during cancer treatment in 1951 at a Baltimore hospital.
Reuters noted that these HeLa cells were the first to survive and reproduce indefinitely in lab conditions. Lacks passed away from cervical cancer later that year at the age of 31.
The complaint details how Novartis allegedly used HeLa cells in the development of its herpes drug Famvir, cancer treatment Kymriah, and spinal muscular atrophy therapy Zolgensma.
Viatris is accused of using these cells to test its herpes drug, Denavir, and depression treatment, Mylan-Mirtazapine.
The Lacks family seeks profits from the commercialization of HeLa cells and a court order to prevent further use without permission.
Price Action: At the last check on Tuesday, NVS stock was up 0.36% at $110.25, and VTRS stock was down 0.30% at $11.53.

Ionis Pharmaceuticals Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IONS#NASDAQ">IONS</a>) released results Monday from the completed multiple ascending dose (MAD) portion of the Phase 1/2 open-label study of ION582 in people with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/07/n39879430/ionis-announces-positive-detailed-results-from-the-halos-study-of-ion582-in-people-with-angelman-s" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Angelman syndrome (AS)</a>.
AS is a rare neurodevelopmental disorder caused by a loss of function in the maternal UBE3A gene. It affects an estimated 1 in 21,000 people worldwide.
The data demonstrated consistent and encouraging clinical improvement on assessing all functional domains, including communication, cognition, and motor function measures.

Overall, 97% of people in the medium and high dose groups saw an improvement in overall AS symptoms.
In the 51-patient HALOS study, ION582 showed favorable safety and tolerability at all dose levels.
Ionis plans to meet with regulators later this year to review and confirm its Phase 3 study design. This puts the company on track for a pivotal study initiation in the first half of 2025. 
William Blair writes that the update is a clear positive for Ionis, positioning ION582 as a key asset in its wholly owned portfolio after recently reacquiring sole rights from Biogen Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BIIB#NASDAQ">BIIB</a>).
William Blair reiterates the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/IONS/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">Outperform rating on Ionis</a>.
The analyst notes that the consistent improvements across various metrics in the robust dataset, which will likely be used as a primary endpoint for approval, boost confidence in the drug&#8217;s potential benefits.
While slightly behind a peer program from Ultragenyx Pharmaceutical Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RARE#NASDAQ">RARE</a>), Ionis has largely closed the development timeline gap and could be differentiated from a safety perspective, making ION582 an attractive asset for future growth given lack of approved therapies for the indication currently.
In the meantime, investors are expected to focus on the launch of Wainua (eplontersen) in collaboration with AstraZeneca Plc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AZN#NASDAQ">AZN</a>), and the potential approval and launch of the wholly-owned therapies olezarsen for familial chylomicronemia syndrome (PDUFA December 19, 2024) and donidalorsen for the prophylactic treatment of HAE (NDA expected to be filed this year).
The analyst believes the next 12 to 18 months could be transformative for Ionis due to the expansion of its marketed products. They also consider the company undervalued, especially in light of the potential of TTR silencers for TTR-cardiomyopathy, following Alnylam Pharmaceuticals Inc&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALNY#NASDAQ">ALNY</a>) positive <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/06/39456940/alnylams-closely-watched-phase-3-heart-disease-trial-of-vutrisiran-hits-primary-endpoint-shares-s" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">HELIOS-B trial results for vutrisiran</a>.

Strong Buy Rating for Ultragenyx Pharmaceutical Amid Financial Growth and Promising Clinical Advancements

<a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a>
When the human genome was fully sequenced in 2003, the prospects of genetic medicine ushered in a new era of human health. Today, scientists and drug developers have a better understanding of the genetic drivers of disease than ever before. As such, genomics stocks present a new opportunity for investors to buy into the potential future of medicine, as nearly all modern therapies rely on understanding patient genetics to be as efficient as possible.



Moreover, genomics companies differ from traditional healthcare or <a target="_blank" href="https://investorplace.com/industries/healthcare/biotech/">biotech stocks</a> as they often do not rely on selling a drug to be successful. Rather, their services and relevance to the industry enable them to derive profit from supporting the broader medical industry.



For investors, this means a slower yet more stable growth stock that can help dilute portfolio risk if bought in the correct proportions. As such, here are three genomic stocks to consider due to the potential of their ongoing research and investor draw.



<h2>Sarepta Therapeutics (SRPT)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/srpt1600-300x169.png" alt="Sarepta Therapeutics company logo displayed on mobile phone. SRPT stock"><div>Source: Piotr Swat / Shutterstock.com</div></div>From gene editing to ribonucleic acid (RNA) technologies, Sarepta Therapeutics (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/srpt-stock-quote/" target="_blank">SRPT</a>) has strategically positioned itself in the biotech industry to become one of the best genomics stocks to buy right now. I recommended it back in January of this year, and since then, the stock has grown 24%, with most signs pointing to continued growth.



As I&rsquo;ve discussed before, much of the company&rsquo;s success can be attributed to its narrow patient population and the broader potential of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.sarepta.com/science">its technologies</a> should they succeed in treating genetic muscular dystrophies. This presents investors with a strong competitive moat while also enabling the company to funnel research into treating other genetically driven diseases.



One particularly intriguing project the company is working on is using specially designed <a target="_blank" href="https://www.sarepta.com/science/rna-platform">RNA molecules</a> to produce proteins in target cells responsible for the disease. This would allow patients to take an injection and feel relief from certain symptoms of their genetic disease, though not completely reversing the malfunctioning cell.



<h2>Bio-Techne (TECH)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/droplet-test-tube-biotech-1600-3-300x169.jpg" alt="Photo of test tubes and droplet with purple and reddish-orange sunset visual effect, representing biotech"><div>Source: shutterstock.com/Romix Image</div></div>Bio-Techne (NASDAQ:<a target="_blank" href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/tech-stock-quote/">TECH</a>) derives its value from its ability to support the broader genomics industry by specializing in workflow services and products for gene therapies and genetic research. One thing in particular that makes the company stand out is its focus on creating reputable and easily replicated processes to further research in the genetic field. No biomedical research is useful if not replicated by peers and other researchers. This aspect of medicine is critical to how researchers achieve broader industry acceptance for their products.



As such, Bio-Techne has a lot to gain from selling its products and services to the broader industry as genomics research and backing continue to grow. Thus, investors should consider a long-term position in TECH stock as it begins to recover from this year&rsquo;s share value losses.



<h2>Ultragenyx Pharmaceutical (RARE)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/pharma-stocks-300x169.jpg" alt="rows of pills on a table representing pharmaceutical stocks. EVAX stock"><div>Source: Iryna Imago / Shutterstock.com</div></div>Known for its commitment to developing treatments for <a href="https://www.ultragenyx.com/our-research/pipeline/" target="_blank">ultra-rare genetic diseases</a>, Ultragenyx Pharmaceutical (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/rare-stock-quote/" target="_blank">RARE</a>) has found exceptional success in gaining FDA approval for its monoclonal antibodies and enzyme replacements. As a result, the company&rsquo;s stock has grown 40% over the last 12 months, with some ups and downs along the way.



This comes from the company&rsquo;s impressive EPS and revenue beats in its second quarter compared to analyst expectations. For investors, this trend will likely continue as many of RARE&rsquo;s genetic treatments remain relatively newly approved, meaning that once they hit the market in full swing, the company could very well turn a serious profit.



Consequently, monitoring when these drugs become fully commercialized could be the key to getting in at the right time before the company becomes profitable and its price grows rapidly.
