Prothena reports Q3 EPS (62c), consensus (98c)

Reports Q3 revenue $255K, may not compare to consensus $800K. "We continue to focus on advancing our neuroscience pipeline of investigational therapeutics for a number of diseases, and continue to make progress across our proprietary programs as well as our collaboration programs with Roche and Celgene," said Gene Kinney, PhD, President and Chief Executive Officer of Prothena. "We are encouraged that other therapeutics for ATTR amyloidosis have demonstrated benefit to patients by impacting the biological pathway leading to the formation of amyloid deposits, and we look forward to analyzing data from our PRX004 program which we expect will offer insights on a mechanism targeting the misfolded, pathogenic form of the TTR protein. Our Phase 1 study of PRX004 and the Phase 2 PASADENA study of prasinezumab (PRX002/RG7935) remain on track for initial data in 2019 and 2020, respectively."
