Stifel analyst Stephen Willey noted that NewLink Genetics (NLNK) now expects to complete the majority of enrollment in the Indigo301 melanoma trial by year-end, versus its previous expectation to complete enrollment in 2018, which he said is likely due to additional time required for dose optimization of the novel indoximod salt formulation. The remainder of the 2018 calendar the company laid out is full of mostly expected catalysts and in-line with prior guidance, said Willey, who still expects NewLink to remain levered to Incyte's (INCY) date from the Phase 3 ECHO-301 trial. Willey keeps a Buy rating on NewLink shares.
