            <title>Sequenom Still Seeks Down’s Syndrome Grail (SQNM)</title>

            <description>Sequenom, Inc. (NASDAQ: SQNM) is trading lower in the after-hours session after the troubled diagnostics company reported its year-end earnings.  Because of its recent woes of 2009, the earnings and revenue reports are a true side-show compared to what the company is updating over its pipeline and over its products.
We would note that actual trading could whip around significantly during the company&amp;#8217;s conference call due to very speculative nature of the company and due to its trading history in 2009 and so far in 2010.
The company gave a T21 (Down syndrome) update, and it does not sound like the company is throwing in the towel here nor anything at all like it is backing off&amp;#8230; This is the biggest issue, or has been, for the company.  At least that is our take.  Sequenom said...</description>

            <description>OSI Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: OSIP) is holding up yet again, despite the notion that Astellas Pharma, Inc. of Japan wants to acquire the company.  OSI decided to formally reject the $52.00 per share tender offer and is recommending that its shareholders reject the offer while it contacts other parties.  Today we have a counter-response from Astellas.  The profitable maker of Tarceva either wants to remain independent regardless of its notion that it will contact outside parties, or it wants to fetch a much higher price.  Based upon a $52.00 deal offer and a current price of about $58.00 after the fact, take a guess what the market is thinking.
Astellas has said that it is pleased that OSI’s board of directors has finally instructed its management to explore a transaction for the ...</description>

            <title>Savient, Gout, and FDA… Back At The Door (SVNT)</title>
            <link>http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3365090&amp;cid=s_35775_34_f&amp;fid=35775&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeedproxy.google.com%2F%7Er%2FBiohealthInvestor%2F%7E3%2Fb6ks5uOSlZs%2Fsavient-gout-and-fda-back-at-the-door-svnt.html</link>
            <description>Savient Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: SVNT) is from giving up on its KRYSTEXXA as a gout treatment.  This morning the company announced that it has resubmitted its Biologics License Application to the FDA.  This has been in the news, particularly since the company announced a secondary offering late last year after the FDA denied this in August and sent shares down 35% at the time.  This one even got on the map as an old Jim Cramer favorite.
The resubmission is for KRYSTEXXA to treat chronic gout in patients refractory to conventional therapy, which is effectively in patients who have failed to normalize their levels of serum uric acid and whose signs and symptoms are inadequately controlled with xanthine oxidase inhibitors at the maximum medically appropriate dose.  It also for patie...</description>

            <description>Ariad Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: ARIA) is seeing elevated trading today after a presentation and ahead of earnings. The difference here is that Ariad&amp;#8217;s increased trading is in both the stock and in the bonds. 
Joe Kunkle of OptionsHawk.com noted, &amp;#8220;implied volatility is 10% higher to 87.8% as shares gain 2.7%, 4,140 calls trading, 4X average, with buyers of April $3 and May $3.50 calls. Shares are at 52 week highs and breaking a long term downtrend, trading as high as $7.50 in 2005. The Company is expected to announce earnings on March 16th and presented at the Cowen Healthcare Conf. This morning. Ariad&amp;#8217;s leukemia drug recently received orphan drug status adn is expected to announce Phase 3 results for its soft tissue and bone sarcoma drug, ridaforolimus.

            <title>More Drug and BioHealth Dividends (MRX, WCRX, AMGN, MRK, PFE, PPH, BBH)</title>

            <description>Medicis (NYSE: MRX), a specialty pharmaceutical company in treatments of dermatological and aesthetic conditions, has the talk going again about dividends in the drug and biotech sector.  The company declared a quarter-end cash quarterly dividend of $0.06 payable on April 30, 2010 for holders of record at the close of business on April 1, 2010.  This dividend hike is a 50% increase versus the previous $0.04 dividend and the last hike was in March 2008.  But what is more important than Medicis is that this brings up the focus on dividends in both the pharma sector and potentially in the biotech sector.
Many investors have seen scores of dividend hikes since the end of December, which is the yardstick for a vote of confidence issued by a company.  We have noted two more dividend candidat...</description>

            <title>The Facet Biotech Buyout Saga (FACT, BIIB, ABT, PDLI)</title>

            <description>Facet Biotech Corporation (NASDAQ: FACT) is a buyout saga that seemed as though it would never end in 2009.  The company is now finally being acquired, but not by Biogen Idec (NASDAQ: BIIB).  Abbott Laboratories (NYSE: ABT) announced last night that it entered into a definitive agreement for $27.00 per share in a cash buyout.  The deal is valued at $722 million, but that includes about $272 million in cash and equivalents.
The net cost will be about $450 million. In late-2009, Facet turned down a second unsolicited offer from Biogen Idec of $17.50 a share after having rejected a lower offer before that.
Facet has discovery and development partnerships with Biogen Idec for MS, and it also has partnerships with PDL BioPharma (NASDAQ: PDLI) and Roche.
Facet shares are up 66% at $26.96 this...</description>

            <description>EDAP TMS SA (NASDAQ: EDAP) is a French company which makes medical devices for the treatment of urological diseases and the company&amp;#8217;s stock is soaring after the company was granted marketing approval of its newly designed, high-end Sonolith I-Sys lithotripsy device by the Japanese Administration.  Because this market is still under-served, we wanted to look into the news despite this not being a drug or biotech company.
The Japanese equivalent of the FDA in the US granted marketing approval of EDAP&amp;#8217;s Sonolith I-Sys lithotripsy device. What makes this unique is that the lithotripsy market in Japan is supposed to rank as the number one market in the world in total lithotripsy sales volume and in the installed base. The company also noted that Japanese physicians have traditional...</description>

            <title>Amylin &amp; Friends Brace for Diabetes Review (AMLN, LLY, ALKS)</title>
            <link>http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3345069&amp;cid=s_35775_34_f&amp;fid=35775&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeedproxy.google.com%2F%7Er%2FBiohealthInvestor%2F%7E3%2Fv4suQ2DMW5c%2Famylin-friends-brace-for-diabetes-review-amln-lly-alks.html</link>
            <description>Amylin Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMLN) has a big event on deck this week.  This Friday, March 12, is its Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) action date for an FDA panel to issue a recommendation on Byetta as the the first once a week treatment for Type II diabetes.  The date had been moved due to recent weather closures in February in and around Washington D.C.
Analysts are mixed on the stock with BMO cutting its rating last week, but there were two positive calls from Credit Suisse and Jesup &amp; Lamont.
Options are elevated today, but not overly active.  The open interest of stock options is also large enough that the $20 synthetic options straddle would imply that shares have to rise above $24.70 or drop below $15.30 to be profitable.
Byetta is already sold with Eli Lilly &amp;...</description>

            <title>The Changing Landscape of Biotech Valuations (ACOR, CBST, MNKD, INCY, SGEN, ITMN, IPXL, MRX, SVNT, VPHM)</title>

            <description>The biotech and biohealth universe is changing in size.  In 2008 and 2009, partly due to mergers and partly due to market valuations, there had become a surprisingly small number of biotech stocks which had market capitalization rates of more than $1 billion.  At one point there were only about 10 or 11 in our universe of biotech stocks that actually had market caps which were very far north of $1 billion, or at least out of the biotech stocks which followed at BioHealth Investor.
We have recently seen Acorda Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: ACOR), Cubist Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: CBST), MannKind Corporation (NASDAQ: MNKD), Incyte Corporation (NASDAQ: INCY), Seattle Genetics, Inc. (NASDAQ: SGEN), InterMune, Inc. (NASDAQ: ITMN), Impax Laboratories Inc.

            <title>When Biotech Layoffs Come (XNPT)</title>
            <link>http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3337143&amp;cid=s_35775_34_f&amp;fid=35775&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeedproxy.google.com%2F%7Er%2FBiohealthInvestor%2F%7E3%2FqVmtBh5s9zI%2Fwhen-biotech-layoffs-come-xnpt.html</link>
            <description>When conglomerates and consumer products lay off workers and employees, shareholders generally cheer the company for saving money and cutting costs by figuring out productivity measures that milk more output per employee.  That leaves more income and ultimately brings more dividends down the road.  But biotech firms are far from being thought of in the same light.  These are growth stories and investors generally get more excited about expanding operations.  So here comes XenoPort, Inc. (NASDAQ: XNPT) announcing on a Friday that HALF of its workers just won the pink-slip lotto ticket from the HR department.  Today just officially became National Employee Morale Day at XenoPort.
XenoPort just announced a restructuring plan today that more narrowly focuses its R&amp;D pipeline, and one ...</description>

            <description>BioHealthInvestor usually sticks to US companies or at least sticks to ADRs for investors.  But sometimes there is a much larger bit of data either north of the border or in Europe.  There is a company called  Resverlogix Corp. which trades in Canada under the ticker &amp;#8216;RVX&amp;#8217; and the stock also trades in the US on the Pink Sheets under the ticker &amp;#8216;RVXCF.&amp;#8217;  The stock is soaring today after Bloomberg gave a very positive article highlighting the merits of the company&amp;#8217;s RVX-208.  This potential drug candidate is targeting atherosclerosis in acute coronary syndrome patients.  The target is to raise HDL levels to effectively reverse arterial plaque buildup.  The company noted that there are approximately 350 million patients that require treatment for atheroscl...</description>

            <description>Today&amp;#8217;s price moves in the biotech sector are quite different from what we saw earlier this week.  A hostile merger via tender from Astellas for OSI Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: OSIP) got everyone up in arms this week.  So much that other investors were going back over buyout candidate notes.  We also gave a list of those recently noted biotech buyout candidates this week.
But today&amp;#8217;s news out of Medivation, Inc. (NASDAQ: MDVN) severely missing its endpoints in the Phase III targets for Dimebon as a new potential blockbuster to treat Alzheimer&amp;#8217;s Disease has everyone reminded of the risks in betting on speculative biotech stocks with no products on the market.  That has a sentiment reversal taking place, and unfortunately Dimebon has become Dime-Bag.
But before this m...</description>

            <description>Medivation, Inc. (NASDAQ: MDVN) is the next biotech implosion.  The company&amp;#8217;s highly awaited Phase III study on its Alzheimer drug called Dimebon did not meet expectations. It failed to meet primary and secondary endpoints. The problem is that this was hitting 52-week highs yesterday.
The company did note that a separate Phase 3 safety study demonstrated Dimebon’s tolerability when used alone or in combination with approved Alzheimer’s Disease medicines.  Just one more problem&amp;#8230; if it doesn&amp;#8217;t work it doesn&amp;#8217;t matter how tolerable it is.  In some cases the placebo group even did better on the sugar pill, which is perhaps the worst endorsement a company can get.
Pfizer Inc. (NYSE: PFE) is also indicated lower this morning as well as it was Medivation&amp;#8217;s part...</description>

            <description>After today&amp;#8217;s hostile Astellas offer for OSI Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: OSIP), we have investors and traders alike looking for &amp;#8216;the next takeover target&amp;#8217; in biotech.  Buy now you know that there are many pitfalls in simply looking for biotech stocks to buy because they will be taken over.  We have taken a look through our own recent stocks noted as takeover candidates and even gone through some sites of our partners looking through potential takeover candidates in the space.
Morningstar just last week had a short video with some key potential buyout targets in the biotech space.  It noted Vertex Pharmaceuticals Incorporated (NASDAQ: VRTX), Auxilium Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: AUXL), and InterMune Inc. (NASDAQ: ITMN).  Those are all names that have come up as takeout t...</description>

            <description>Mergers are back in biotech&amp;#8230;. Astellas Pharma Inc., a global pharmaceutical company in Japan, announced that it will commence a tender offer to acquire all outstanding shares of common stock of OSI Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: OSIP).  The direct tender is nothing short of a hostile merger after Astellas said that OSI has refused to discuss terms.
The offer is for $52.00 per share in cash valued at approximately $3.5 billion on a fully diluted basis.  Astellas notes that this offer is premium of over 40% to the recent closing stock price and it is a 53% premium over the three-month average share price.  The deal is also said to not be suject to any financing terms or conditions.
In the deal, Astellas hopes to build a world-class oncology platform and expects to invest in OSI&amp;#8217;s bu...</description>

            <description>Generic drugs are just one of the many combined issues that are coming front and center in the world of healthcare reform.   Frankly this is not a new notion.  Not all.  This weekend came a feature in Barron&amp;#8217;s &amp;#8220;Asian Trader: Pill Maker That&amp;#8217;s Set To Pop&amp;#8221; calling Dr. Reddy&amp;#8217;s Laboratories Ltd. (NYSE: RDY) of India the next big drug play for investors.  We wanted to look closer under the hood here.
The Indian generic drug company&amp;#8217;s ADR closed at $24.61 Friday and Barron&amp;#8217;s noted two analysts with big price targets: one giving it room up to $29.63 and and another implied rupee price we pegged around $30.82.
Sales are expected to approximately double to around $3 billion by 2013 and the waves of name brand drugs coming off patent in the U.S. may off...</description>

            <description>InterMune Inc. (NASDAQ: ITMN) has shown some very interesting options trading, and the trading looks to be a bet against all that huge volatility we have seen.
Joe Kunkle of OptionsHawk.com noted:

ITMN with a 2,000X4,000X2,000 contract butterfly call spreads at the March $25/$30/$35 strikes.  This trade bets on volatility to collapse, which will happen after the March 9th FDA meeting on it&amp;#8217;s lung drug pirfenidone, given priority review for treating the chronic lung disease idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, a disease impacting around 200,000 people in the US and Europe.  Lazard Capital feels there is more than a 50% chance the drug gets approved, and has a $25 target for shares.  However, the FDA may require post-approval studies for indications of effectiveness.  It also sees share...</description>

            <title>Two key Analyst Call in BioHealth Space (DNDN, HGSI)</title>
            <link>http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3293255&amp;cid=s_35775_34_f&amp;fid=35775&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeedproxy.google.com%2F%7Er%2FBiohealthInvestor%2F%7E3%2FLxfHYYwFaNg%2Ftwo-key-analyst-call-in-biohealth-space-dndn-hgsi.html</link>
            <description>We have seen two very key biotech analyst calls this morning, and shares of both are responding.  Dendreon Corp. (NASDAQ: DNDN) and Human Genome Sciences (NASDAQ: HGSI) were both given positive brokerage initiations this morning.
Dendreon Corp. (NASDAQ: DNDN) is seeing gains this morning after the stock was started as &amp;#8220;Overweight&amp;#8221; and $46 target at JPMorgan.  The call is based upon a belief that PROVENGE will be approved for advanced prostate cancer. This is actually not the highest price target as a $50 target does already exist, but this implies a 42% upside to the target price versus the $32.36 closing bell price on Friday.  Shares are up 2.6% before the open on this call.
Human Genome Sciences (NASDAQ: HGSI) was resumed at &amp;#8220;Buy&amp;#8221; with a $35 price target at Bof...</description>

            <description>Sometimes it is the action seen in stock options gets traders moving more than the action in the stock.  With more commentators on CNBC and other media outlets talking about &amp;#8216;elevated options trading seen in&amp;#8230;&amp;#8217; it gets even more on alert.  From our best read today, that seems to be the case in Dendreon Corp. (NASDAQ: DNDN) and Myriad Genetics Inc. (NASDAQ: MYGN).  There has been talk of &amp;#8216;buyout rumors&amp;#8217; but we would first and foremost stress &amp;#8216;caveat emptor&amp;#8217; when it comes to this.
Dendreon shares are up only 1.4% before the closing bell at $32.46 and not even on any crazy volume.  But there was a new high today of $32.62.  So far we have seen more than 18,000 CALLS and more than 6,000 PUTS trade today&amp;#8230; but again, expiration may be part of t...</description>

            <description>Rigel Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: RIGL) may be the biotech winner this Tuesday.  The company has signed a pact with AstraZeneca (NYSE: AZN) which could ultimately bring in about $1.25 billion if all targets are met.  This pact is a licensing agreement for Rigel&amp;#8217;s rheumatoid arthritis drug R788 or fostamatinib disodium.
Rigel said last year that its R788 significantly improved rheumatoid arthritis symptoms in patients in a phase II study and Rigel has been seeking a development partner to help finance phase III studies.
AstraZeneca will design a global phase III study for the RA drug and believes that the study will be initiated in the second half of this year.  We will double-check the goal dates here because the new drug application target date appears to be 2013 for the FDA and Eur...</description>

            <description>Many investors have been focusing on the number of dividend raises we have so far seen since the end of December.  It is the perfect vote of confidence issued by a company, much more so than a share buyback plan.  The dividend means &amp;#8220;we will be able to this rate over and over&amp;#8221; for investors.  There have been very few big moves in the BioHealth arena.  We have two very interesting dividend candidates.  Amgen Inc. (NASDAQ: AMGN) as the world&amp;#8217;s largest independent biotech stock, and Warner Chilcott plc (NASDAQ: WCRX) as perhaps the newest and best up and comer in the pharmaceuticals sector.
Neither pay a dividend.  Not yet.  It would seem that the most likely candidate of the two would be Warner Chilcott because companies like Merck &amp; Co. (NYSE: MRK) and Pfizer In...</description>

            <description>Cell Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: CTIC) is getting clipped on Pixantrone this morning.  The company was told by the FDA that there is limited clinical data on its proposed cancer drug, and that there were higher side effects and higher death incidents.  Unfortunately, this comes ahead of a panel review date that is set for Wednesday, February 10, 2010.  We have late April, on or about April 23, 2010, as the final decision date from the FDA for Pixantrone.
Pixantrone is the company&amp;#8217;s pending treatment of relapsed and refractory non-Hodgkin&amp;#8217;s lymphoma, although this is indicated for those who have seen their disease progress after having received treatment with at least two other therapies.
Cell Therapeutics had raised about $30 million in January via securities sales.  Pixant...</description>

            <description>XenoPort, Inc. (NASDAQ: XNPT) has a big day coming for its GSK1838262/XP13512 (gabapentin enacarbil) next week.  The company has a date of February 9 for an FDA Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) decision on its Horizant. This is the dated  goal for the company&amp;#8217;s New Drug Application for Horizant for the treatment of moderate-to-severe primary restless legs syndrome. Horizant is licensed to GlaxoSmithKline (NYSE: GSK) in the United States and several other countries.
There is one concern here&amp;#8230; The company&amp;#8217;s release last week noted that the GaxoSmithKline partnership may be in doubt because Glaxo has noted that it may end research on depression and pain treatments.  GSK and XenoPort are discussing the next steps in the development plan for XP13512 in the neuropathic...</description>

            <description>AMAG Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMAG) has had a very tough week, whether it was a market with a bad trading tape or not.  The stock&amp;#8217;s weakness was after an analyst from a relatively unknown firm called Summer Street downgraded the stock to Neutral from Buy over concerns that Feraheme patients are being hospitalized with severe allergic reaction events.  Shares were above $45.00 on Wednesday, yet the stock went as low as $35 today before word that a rebuttal was coming.  Then after the close, the company is out defending itself showing that the risks here are very low and may not be any different than previously thought.
After the close of trading today, the maker of treatments for anemia and imaging agents provided a safety update on Feraheme®.  The company noted, &amp;#8220;Sin...</description>

            <description>Human Genome Sciences, Inc. (NASDAQ: HGSI) has been one of the great biotech success stories, with returns far dwarfing the 10-bagger or 1,000%.  This went from a small genomics company to a company with what seems to be or likely to be the newest lupus treatment in a generation after (and if) the FDA approves of it.  While management has been quick to quiet buyout rumors, the investment community for most of 2009 was betting or hoping that the company would be acquired.
Yet when you see insiders making share sales, and some significant share sales, it probably makes you think no real deal is on the table.  In short, buying Human Genome Sciences here now better be for that pending FDA approval and for its pipeline rather than for a hope of a buyout.  Here were the insider sales we have...</description>

            <description>Repros Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ: RPRX) is soaring in the quest for the next ten-bagger&amp;#8230;. This is a micro-cap stock that had a $19.1 million market cap before this morning&amp;#8217;s news.  The company reported that it has received verbal confirmation from the FDA&amp;#8217;s Division of Metabolic and Endocrine Drug Products.  According to this, the company may initiate its Investigational New Drug Application for the study of oral Androxal as a potential treatment of hypogonadal men with Type II Diabetes with a Phase IIa trial.  While the move to chase the next 1,000% potential gainer is often on hype, it is at least easy to see why traders, speculators and investors would be chasing this stock.
According to the press release, The FDA noted no clinical hold issues.  It did add that the...</description>

            <description>We noted last week that there had been some extra options activity over in InterMune, Inc. (NASDAQ: ITMN) ahead of a date-review decision.   Today saw excess trading in the stock, and explosive trading volume in both the put and call options as traders made their volatility bets for a binary trading event scheduled for March 9.  The stock traded over 3.4 million shares versus 683,000 shares on average.  The stock closed up 5.7% at $16.50 and the 52-week trading range is $10.48 to $19.12.  We do not care about the FEB-2010 options as they are before the date, but MAR-2010 options expiration date is on March 19, 2010.

            <link>http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3226262&amp;cid=s_35775_34_f&amp;fid=35775&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeedproxy.google.com%2F%7Er%2FBiohealthInvestor%2F%7E3%2FmFa1SmetRlg%2Fgenerex-files-to-raise-cash-gnbt.html</link>
            <description>You have seen us talk about companies in the BioHealth and biotech space after big pops of news lately.  But some companies are also just raising cash, or leaving room to raise cash if needed.  It is the second group that today&amp;#8217;s filing from Generex Biotechnology Corp. (NASDAQ: GNBT) for up to $150 million falls into.
What is interesting here is that this is effectively the same size of the company today.  Generex has a market cap after a 6.8% gain to $0.63 today of only about $156 million.  Its 52-week trading range is $0.08 to $1.14 and the average daily volume is only about 2.94 million shares.

The company may or may not sell shares, because this filing is to replace an existing shelf registration:

            <description>InterMune, Inc. (NASDAQ: ITMN) is up today despite the soft markets.  This would actually make this the third day of gains in a row.  The options trading continues to be very bullish, as shares gain 3% and implied volatility pops another 4% today.  There is options trading building up here as well.
The Company recently raised cash through a 5 million share issuance.  It&amp;#8217;s key drug pirfenidone was granted fast track status at the FDA in early January, 6 month review period.  It treats IPF, a fatal lung disease.  Data is expected in the first from Phase2b studies of RG7227 plus SOC, for HCV.
Today there was a buyer of 2,500 March $17.50 calls at the offer on wide spreads, and now a 1,250 contract March $17.50/$15 bullish risk reversal trades for a 5 cent credit.

            <description>We have covered over and over in recent months about the news flow of biotech and emerging biohealth companies creating an avenue that is causing traders to chase many speculative stocks up exponentially on news.  In 2009 we had perhaps a dozen biotech and biohealth related stocks which posted gains of 1,000% or more, and this is where that term of a &amp;#8216;ten-bagger&amp;#8217; comes from.  In recent weeks we have seen shares of GenVec Inc. (NASDAQ: GNVC) rise exponentially.
The 52-week low is $0.33 and this was effectively at $1.05 to $1.20 at the very end of 2009.  In recent weeks and recent trading days we have seen news that allowed this to run even above $3.00.  Then today came the share price haircut after the company entered into a registered offering of $28 million in agreements w...</description>

            <description>Pfizer Inc. (NYSE: PFE) is making a pipeline presentation today, and it is meant to address a serious and potentially severe issue affecting all Big Pharma companies from Merck &amp; Co. (NYSE: MRK) after its Schering-Plough deal all the way down to where drug companies become biotech companies:  That is the billions and billions of dollars that may disappear from profits as key drug patents expire in the coming years.  This is also affecting Roche and companies like Novartis AG (NYSE: NVS) and GlaxoSmithKline plc (NYSE: GSK) on an international basis, which is why you have seen them make their own partnerships and acquisitions where possible.
Pfizer is giving a pipeline update showing its own efforts to address a whole new class of potential blockbuster drugs in the years ahead.  Today...</description>

            <description>The FDA has announced the approval of Victoza made and marketed by Novo Nordisk (NYSE: NVO).  The approval is listed as being an approval to treat type-2 diabetes in come adults.  This has been a pending approval and is Novo Nordisk&amp;#8217;s once-daily injection.  The drug is intended to help lower blood sugar levels along with diet, exercise, and selected other diabetes medicines; but it is not recommended as an initial therapy in patients who have not achieved adequate diabetes control on diet and exercise alone.
Victoza is in a class of medicines known as glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists that help the pancreas make more insulin after eating a meal, and this was part of our own &amp;#8220;Next $180 Billion in Drug Opportunities&amp;#8221; from last year.

            <description>Amgen (NASDAQ: AMGN) has just reported earnings that appear disappointing on the surface.  The world&amp;#8217;s largest independent biotech stock posted $1.05 EPS on revenue of $3.81 billion.  Unfortunately, Thomson Reuters estimates were $1.12 EPS and $3.85 billion.  The net number after backing out non-GAAP items was $0.92 EPS.
The company is issuing its 2010 guidance of $5.05 to $5.25 EPS on revenues of $15.1 to $15.5 billion.  We have estimates of $5.12 EPS and $15.31 billion in revenues from Thomson Reuters.

The company had already given guidance earlier this month at the JPMorgan Healthcare Conference, and this is not significantly out of line nor significantly concerning considering its recent path.

Epogen sales were up 9% to $703 million, which was deemed as being above estimate...</description>

            <description>Somaxon Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: SOMX) has soared in after-hours trading as we have noted over and over how micro-cap and low-priced biotech stocks are seeing trophy hunters trying to find the next 1,000% move&amp;#8230; That is the quest for the ten-bagger in investor slang.  The company provided an update on the status of its New Drug Application for Silenor for the treatment of insomnia.  It held a meeting with senior leadership at the FDA on January 20, 2010 to discuss the issues raised in the FDA&amp;#8217;s Complete Response Letter Somaxon from December 2009.
According to Somaxon, the FDA acknowledged that this resubmission would be considered a complete response and noted that no additional safety or efficacy data was needed.  Furthermore, the company now sees a decision from the F...</description>

            <description>Lexicon Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: LXRX) is the beneficiary of data on the war against diabetes.  We might call this the rejoining in the war against diabetes,  but the term &amp;#8216;rejoining&amp;#8217; would pertain just to its stock getting back in the news.  &amp;#8216;We have addressed over and over how the trading and investing community has been seeking the 1,000% returns or the ten-baggers on many occasions.  Today is not really a ten-bagger or trophy hunting example if you look at the reaction and trading action, although this probably did get a secondary benefit from the interest in low-priced biotechs.
Today&amp;#8217;s news is based upon a successful second trial of the company&amp;#8217;s diabetes treatment drug candidate.  The company was studying the performance of its LX4211 drug in ...</description>

            <description>Sequenom, Inc. (NASDAQ: SQNM) may be pulling the oldest hat trick in the book.  It is settling a class action suit.  This always sounds good on the surface, except for the notion that these class action settlements can sometimes exonerate a company from future liabilities.  The good news here is that there is an opt-out provision.  The bad news is that it might not matter.
The SEC filing stated:
On January 15, 2010, Sequenom, Inc. announced entry into a stipulation of settlement which will resolve the class action securities lawsuits consolidated under the caption In re Sequenom, Inc. Securities Litigation, S.D. Cal. Case No. 09-CV-0921 LAB (WMc), pending in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California. Attorneys for Harry Stylli, Paul Hawran, Allan T.

            <description>Enzon Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: ENZN) is not your normal biotech and emerging pharma company.  It is a name that has been tossed around in the rumor mill in the past, and that is the case this week.  That is part of why the stock is at 52-week highs today.  Pfizer Inc. (NYSE: PFE) is the rumored buyer this time around, although other companies have been rumored on and off in the past.  While it is an $11+ stock today, this stock used to trade at an exponential share price and it has nearly a 20-year history as a public company now.
What makes this an interesting &amp;#8216;buyout story&amp;#8217; is that Enzon already has a special meeting on deck on Wednesday, January 27, 2010, as the date of its special shareholder meeting to vote on the proposed sale of its specialty pharmaceutical bus...</description>
