Bulls Say, Bears Say
Bulls Say
Clinical Trial ExpansionVertex has expanded the phase 1/2 FORWARD trial to enroll 37 patients, underscoring management’s confidence in their burgeoning T1D franchise.
Clinical Trial ResultsAll patients treated with VX-880 at the latest visit were found to have improved glycemic control and had both HbA1c < 7.0% and time-in-range above 70% (70-180 mg/dL) based on continuous glucose monitoring.
Patient OutcomesAmong the 10 patients that completed the Day 180 visit, seven are insulin independent.
Bears Say
Commercial OpportunityThe commercial opportunity for VX-880 may be limited given the current requirement for patients to remain on immunosuppressives.
Growth DriversIt is unclear whether povetacicept may be the next major growth driver for Vertex to build on its mature cystic fibrosis (CF) franchise.
ValuationVertex shares trade at a significant premium to the peer average, making the stock less attractive compared to its competitors.
