2:28PM Vaxgen: Punk Ziegel comments on trial results (VXGN) 5.91 -7.11: --Update-- To give readers an idea of analysts' take on the co's AIDSVAX trial, we refer to a Punk Ziegel note out this morning. According to firm, while the trial failed to protect the study group as a whole from infection with HIV, the vaccine was effective in two prospectively defined subgroups: The vaccine was 78% effective in blacks and 67% effective in a slightly larger group of non-white volunteers. Firm thinks the trial results were clearly a success scientifically and from the public health perspective, as AIDSVAX is the first vaccine shown to prevent HIV in any population. Based on the preliminary data outlined in this morning's press release and on firm's preliminary calculations of the U.S. market for a vaccine effective only in blacks, Punk Ziegel believes that VaxGen's shares are currently worth between $35-$45 a share.
