Piper Jaffray analyst Edward Tenthoff reiterated an Overweight rating and $161 price target on argenx (ARGX) after the company announced a collaboration agreement with Halozyme (HALO). In a research note to investors, Tenthoff says that an ongoing Phase II study of cusatuzumab, which was licensed to Janssen (JNJ) after demonstrating a 92% response rate in AML at ASH, could enable registration if responses hold. The company will host an R&D Day in NYC on May 16 to introduce ARGX-117 and also expects the company will introduce ARGX-118.
