G1 Therapeutics price target raised to $76 from $60 at Needham

Needham analyst Chad Messer raised his price target on G1 Therapeutics to $76 and kept his Buy rating, citing the company’s announcement yesterday of amended phase 2 trial protocol for trilaciclib testing in combination with chemotherapy and Tecentrq. The analyst believes that the myelopreservation data from this trial “may help bolster the available dataset” that the company is planning to bring to the FDA in the first half of 2019 for discussion regarding a viable path to approval. Messer adds that he looks forward to the “updated data from the randomized frontline SCLC trial of trilaciclib at ESMO in October”.
