Biotech earnings season kicks off in earnest next week, with reports due from Celgene(CELG), Biogen Idec(BIIB), Amgen(AMGN) and Gilead Sciences(GILD).Investors will be paying close attention to Vertex Pharmaceuticals(VRTX) when it reports Incivek sales on Oct. 27.Human Genome Sciences(HGSI) will be reporting third-quarter Benlysta sales amidst investor concerns about the lupus drug's slow launch. And what about those rumors of a GlaxoSmithkline(GSK) takeout? Optimer Pharmaceuticals(OPTR) appears to be bucking the "slow launch" trend with its antibiotic Dificid. Let's discuss FDA drug approvals: Onyx Pharmaceuticals(ONXX), Neoprobe(NEOP), Incyte(INCY), Alexza Pharmaceuticals(ALXA) and MAP Pharma(MAPP), among others. I've raised a ruckus with Keryx Pharma(KERX) predicting the failure of the colon cancer drug perifosine, but I'm more than happy to continue the debate today.Let's talk about these stocks today, or any other biotech investing subjects that pique your interest.
