Roche's Negative Parkinson Drug Results Don't Surprise -- Market Talk

Dow Jones12-19

0810 GMT - Roche's negative Parkinson trial readout doesn't surprise as the drug candidate had a high development risk all along, Vontobel analyst Stefan Schneider says in a note. The Swiss pharma giant's experimental Parkinson drug prasinezumab showed a numeric delay in slowing motor progression in early-stage Parkinson patients but still missed its primary goal in a mid-stage study. Vontobel estimated potential annual peak sales for 2.5 billion Swiss francs for prasinezumab which it didn't account for in its forecasts due to the high development risk associated with this drug, the analyst says.
