BioSante (Nasdaq: BPAX) Shares Plunge 75% on Study Data

BioSante (Nasdaq: BPAX) Shares Plunge 75% on Study DataOrlando, FL 12/15/11 (StreetBeat) -- Shares of BioSante Pharmaceuticals (Nasdaq: BPAX) are plunging today after the company said two phase III studies of it LibiGel testosterone treatment, designed to boost female libido, did not meet primary endpoints.

The treatment did not differ significantly from a placebo in terms of the either the number of satisfying sexual events or sexual desire.

BioSante said it will continue to analyze the study data.

The drug would have been the first of its kind designed to enhance female sexual function. Media have called the treatment the female version of Pfizer’s (NYSE: PFE) Viagra or Eli Lilly’s (NYSE: LLY) Cialis, although the drugs work differently.

BioSante shares are falling today, as are shares of Antares Pharma (AMEX: AIS), which is entitled to receive royalty payments on LibiGel.

BioSante Pharmaceuticals (NasdaqGM: BPAX); Jefferies Initiating at Buy: Positive Ahead of Phase III LibiGel Data

BioSante Pharmaceuticals (NasdaqGM: BPAX); Jefferies Initiating at Buy: Positive Ahead of Phase III LibiGel DataTallahassee, FL 11/16/11 (StreetBeat)- Investorideas.com, an investor research portal specializing in sector research including biotech and pharma stocks, issues an investor update for BioSante Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NasdaqGM: BPAX). Jefferies & Company, Inc. has initiated a buy rating on the stock with a price target of $5.00, driven by Phase III LibiGel testosterone gel.

Jefferies thinks investors should own BioSante Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NasdaqGM: BPAX ) in front of LibiGel P3 data in early December.

According to Jefferies & Company, Inc. “Our $5 PT is based on an SOTP valuation, driven primarily by a LibiGel DCF (out to 2026, discounted 15%). We assume a LibiGel partnership w/ traditional 15-25% royalties, but have milestones as upside to our model. Risks include: negative LibiGel P3 efficacy (Dec.) & safety (3Q12) results; LibiGel regulatory delay/rejection; and an inability to partner LibiGel.”

About LibiGel®
LibiGel is a testosterone gel in Phase III clinical development for the treatment of women who suffer from female sexual dysfunction (FSD), specifically hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD). The completed Phase III efficacy trials are double-blind, placebo-controlled trials that enrolled over 500 surgically menopausal women each for six-months of therapy. The completed efficacy trials were conducted under an FDA-agreed special protocol assessment (SPA) agreement. LibiGel is absorbed quickly through the skin after applying a once-daily pea-sized topical application on the upper arm that delivers testosterone to the bloodstream evenly over time.

In a Phase II trial, LibiGel significantly increased the number of satisfying sexual events in surgically menopausal women suffering from FSD by 238 percent versus baseline (p<0.0001); this increase also was significant versus placebo (p<0.05). In this study, the effective dose of LibiGel produced testosterone blood levels within the normal range for pre-menopausal women and had a safety profile similar to that observed in the placebo group. In addition, no serious adverse events and no discontinuations due to adverse events occurred in any subject receiving LibiGel. The Phase II clinical trial was a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, conducted in the United States, in surgically menopausal women distressed by their low sexual desire and activity.
