Barclays analyst Geoffrey Meacham said he thinks the selloff in shares of Myovant Sciences (MYOV) is overdone after the release of relugolix phase 3 uterine fibroids data. He believes investors are "selling the news" and he still believes relugolix has a comparable profile to AbbVie (ABBV) and Neurocrine's (NBIX) elagolix and will find a place in the market given what he sees as positive data reported this morning, Meacham tells investors. He keeps an Overweight rating and $25 price target on Myovant shares, which are down 26% to $12.67 in early afternoon trading.

AbbVie announced positive top-line results from SELECT-GCA, a Phase 3, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, showing upadacitinib in combination with a 26-week steroid taper regimen achieved its primary endpoint of sustained remissiona from week 12 through week 52 in adults with giant cell arteritis. In this study, 46% of patients receiving upadacitinib 15 mg in combination with a 26-week steroid taper regimen achieved sustained remission compared to 29 percent of patients receiving placebo in combination with a 52-week steroid taper regimen. Key secondary endpoints were also met, including a higher percentage of patients receiving upadacitinib 15 mg in combination with a 26-week steroid taper regimen achieved sustained complete remissionb from week 12 through week 52 compared to patients receiving placebo in combination with a 52-week steroid taper regimen. A lower percentage of patients experienced at least one disease flare through week 52 in the upadacitinib 15 mg group versus the placebo group. The study results also showed that upadacitinib 7.5 mg did not meet the primary or any of the secondary endpoints.
