aTyr Pharma (LIFE – Research Report), the Healthcare sector company, was revisited by a Wall Street analyst today. Analyst Joseph Pantginis from H.C. Wainwright remains neutral on the stock and has a $35.00 price target.
Joseph Pantginis has given aTyr Pharma a Buy rating due to a combination of factors. The initiation of the Phase 2 EFZO-CONNECT study, where the first patient has been dosed with efzofitimod, is a significant development. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of efzofitimod in patients with systemic sclerosis-associated interstitial lung disease (SSc-ILD). This is a crucial step forward for aTyr as it not only expands efzofitimod’s clinical development but also has the potential to increase shareholder value.
Pantginis also highlights the potential for expanding efzofitimod’s clinical profile. Following a meeting with aTyr’s management during the H.C. Wainwright 25th Global Investment Conference, it was clear that efzofitimod’s trajectory in treating pulmonary sarcoidosis and SSc-ILD is promising. Furthermore, preclinical data from aTyr could possibly open up new avenues of exploration for efzofitimod. The drug leverages the properties of extracellular histidyl-tRNA synthetases and binds selectively to Neurophilin-2, a cell surface receptor highly expressed in inflammatory reactions. This presents a promising opportunity for efzofitimod in treating Usher Syndrome Type 3B, a rare genetic disease.
