LifeSci Capital Maintains a Buy on Immunovant (IMVT) With a $50 PT
Immunovant, Inc. (NASDAQ:IMVT) is one of the 13 Best Pharma Stocks to Buy According to Wall Street Analysts. On June 26, Sam Slutsky, an analyst from LifeSci Capital, maintained a Buy rating on Immunovant, Inc. (NASDAQ:IMVT), keeping the associated price target at $50. He based the rating on the notable market opportunity for the company's IMVT-1402 for the treatment of Graves' disease, which is a leading cause of hyperthyroidism and has considerable unmet medical need. A closeup of a scientist working with a microscope in a biotech laboratory. The disease impacts around a million patients in the US, and current treatments typically render a majority of patients uncontrolled or intolerant. Since alternative therapies for the disease also have considerable drawbacks, the analyst reasoned that IMVT-1402 has potential as a novel, disease-modifying therapy. It reduces pathogenic IgG autoantibodies to target the disease's root cause, and positive proof-of-concept data from a first-generation anti-FcRn supports the therapy's efficacy. The analyst further reasoned that feedback from key opinion leaders highlights the significant need and demand for such targeted treatments, painting a positive picture for Immunovant, Inc. (NASDAQ:IMVT). Apart from IMVT-1402's dual effects in Graves' disease and thyroid eye disease, the company's ongoing trials further support the optimistic rating. Immunovant, Inc. (NASDAQ:IMVT) develops treatments for autoimmune diseases. Its product pipeline includes batoclimab and IMVT-1402. Both are novel antibodies targeting the neonatal fragment crystallizable receptor (FcRn).

'The Boys' Star Erin Moriarty Shares Graves' Disease Diagnosis
The Boys star Erin Moriarty has shared some serious news on social media. According to Erin Moriarty, who plays the fan-favorite character Starlight in the hit Amazon Prime series The Boys , she has been officially diagnosed with Graves' disease. Moriarty made the announcement via Instagram, where she also took the opportunity to share some words of inspiration for others that might be dealing with similar health issues. 'Autoimmune disease manifests differently in everybody/every body,' she opens her statement with. 'Your experience will be different from mine. My experience will be different from yours. Perhaps greatly, perhaps minutely,' she adds. 'One thing I can say: if I hadn't chalked it all up to stress and fatigue, I would've caught this sooner.' At this point, Erin Moriarty explains the situation with his Graves' disease diagnosis: 'A month ago, I was diagnosed with Graves' disease. Within 24 hours of beginning treatment, I felt the light coming back on. It's been increasing in strength ever since. If yours is dimming, even slightly, go get checked. Don't 'suck it up' and transcend suffering; you deserve to be comfy. Shit's hard enough as is.' Graves' disease is an immune system condition that specifically effects the thyroid gland. As shared via Mayo Clinic, it 'causes the body to make too much thyroid hormone.' Although these diagnoses are certainly unfortunate news for anyone that receives them, it's nice seeing Moriarty is already feeling better and receiving the care that she needs to battle the disease. Likewise, it's nice to see her share words of wisdom for anyone dealing with similar situations. It absolutely is hard enough without the opportunity to feel comfortable with your personal health. Stay tuned to ScreenGeek for any additional updates regarding Erin Moriarty and the Amazon Prime series The Boys as we have them. The Boys will return for a fifth and final season that has yet to receive an official release date, with several spin-off projects also in the works.

Graves' disease is a form of hyperthyroidism where the thyroid gland is overactive and produces too much thyroid hormone. It is caused when the body's immune system produces antibodies that disrupt the thyroid to make too much thyroid hormone (thyroxine). According to the NHS, symptoms may include a fast heart rate or palpitations, diarrhoea, tremor, difficulties sleeping, weight loss, irregular periods, and feeling hot, hungry or anxious. Some patients may experience neck swelling or bulging eyes, which is called Graves' ophthalmopathy. Treatment typically includes an antithyroid drug called carbimazole. In some young people, Graves' disease runs its course over a few years and the thyroid recovers. In others, treatment needs to continue using the drug carbimazole or by having the thyroid gland removed by surgery (thyroidectomy). Moriatry rose to fame across four seasons of Eric Kripke's superhero drama The Boys, as Annie January, a superhero who goes by the name Starlight. Her other credits include 2013 film The Kings of Summer and 2016's Captain Fantastic.
