The FDA rejected the application, citing response assessment uncertainty, study population heterogeneity, and failure to isolate RP1's contribution when administered in combination with nivolumab as deficiencies in the phase 2 IGNYTE trial of of RP1, the brokerage noted.

"We see no path forward for RP1 with IGNYTE," Wedbush said.

Wedbush downgraded its rating on Replimune Group to neutral from outperform, with a lower price target of $2 from $19.
