Piper Jaffray analyst Charles Duncan cut his price target for shares of Clovis Oncology (CLVS) to $28 from $92 after the company announced that rociletinib efficacy data matured and the number of patients with a confirmed response is lower than expected. The updated response rate may still ultimately be approvable, but it further hinders rociletinib's competitive positioning compared to AstraZeneca's (AZN) Targrisso, Duncan tells investors in a research note. The analyst pushed back his first rociletinib sales estimate to Q4 of 2016 and lowered the drug's peak penetration of the second line market from 25% to 45%. He reiterates a Neutral rating on Clovis. The stock is down 67%, or $66.93, to $32.50 in morning trading.
