RBC Capital analyst Brian Abrahams said the FDA advisory committee meeting for baricitinib, a rheumatoid arthritis treatment developed by Incyte (INCY) and submitted for review by Eli Lilly (LLY), seems "considerably less negative" than the briefing documents for the meeting had suggested. He sees the tone of the panel and the panelist Q&A suggesting a high likelihood that baricitinib will be approved, with the potential still existing that even a 4mg version could be approved in some form. Abrahams has an Outperform rating and $75 price target on Incyte shares.
