Elan shrs to get boost from MS treatment-Barron's
Sun Jan 2, 2005 06:31 PM ET
NEW YORK, Jan 2 (Reuters) - Hedge fund manager Larry Feinberg sees shares of Irish drug maker Elan Corp. (ELN.I: Quote, Profile, Research) doubling this year, boosted by a partnership to develop a potentially big drug for multiple sclerosis, according to Barron's online edition.
Feinberg said Tysabri has big potential because it is twice as effective as anything now in use and has few side effects, Barron's reported.

He expects as many as a quarter of the 180,000 U.S. MS patients on drug therapy to switch to Tysabri by the end of this new year and at least half by the end of 2007, according to Barron's.

Feinberg runs Oracle Partners, a fund specializing in health-care companies.
