aTyr Pharma gains with FDA Fast Track status for lead asset

The shares of clinical-stage biotech aTyr Pharma, Inc. (NASDAQ:LIFE) jumped ~7% in the pre-market Thursday after the company announced that the FDA issued Fast Track designation for its lead candidate efzofitimod for immune-mediated disease, pulmonary sarcoidosis. An immunomodulator, efzofitimod, is designed to downregulate humans' innate and adaptive immune responses. The candidate, also known as ATYR1923, is currently undergoing a global pivotal phase 3 study involving patients with pulmonary sarcoidosis. Sarcoidosis is a leading form of interstitial lung disease, and about 200K Americans are estimated to suffer from pulmonary sarcoidosis. The FDA offers the Fast Track designation to accelerate the development and review of drugs targeted at severe conditions with unmet medical needs. It facilitates developers to conduct frequent communications with the regulator on plans for clinical studies. If certain criteria are met, such programs will also be able to win the Accelerated Approval, Priority Review, and Rolling Review, allowing the drugs to reach patients sooner.

aTyr Stock Is Buoyant On Highly-Promising Lung Disease Data - Wait For Hype To Die Down And Buy

aTyr Pharma produced some surprisingly strong results from recent trials of its lead drug candidate ATYR1923, and its share price has skyrocketed. ATYR1923 is indicated for Pulmonary Sarcoidosis - a ~200k patient population - but could address the $2-$3bn wider ILD market. The company's pipeline is based around founder Paul Schimmel, of the Scripps Institute, and is based around the biology of the extracellular activity of histidyl-tRNA synthetase. It is unique and appears to be quite promising - the company has built an intellectual property portfolio covering >300 protein compositions targeting inflammation, fibrosis and oncology. Analysts have set a consensus price target of ~$19 for aTyr stock, and I would concur that the company ought to be valued >$500m. I would avoid buying now at the peak of the hype cycle, but long term I see >50% upside and perhaps substantially more.
