1052 GMT - Roche's fenebrutinib results came as a positive surprise, Vontobel analyst Stefan Schneider writes in a note. The Swiss pharmaceutical group said its fenebrutinib drug candidate met primary goals in two late-stage trials for multiple sclerosis, showing reduced relapse rates and delayed disability progression in different disease forms. Given adverse events seen with other trials, expectations for fenebrutinib in relapsing multiple sclerosis were modest, he says. The analyst notes that fenebrutinib could support Roche's neuroscience revenue once Ocrevus patents begin to expire in 2029. Shares are up 1.8% at 273.20 Swiss Francs.(najat.kantouar@wsj.com)
