ANI now expects total company adjusted non-GAAP gross margin to be at the high end of our previously communicated range of 61% to 62%. The Company will continue to tax effect non-GAAP adjustments for computation of adjusted non-GAAP diluted earnings per share at a tax rate of 26.0%, unless the item being adjusted is not tax deductible in whole or in part.
The Company now anticipates approximately 19.7 million and 19.9 million shares outstanding for the purpose of calculating adjusted non-GAAP diluted EPS for full year 2024 and fourth quarter 2024, respectively. The Company now expects its annual U.S. GAAP effective tax rate to be in the mid-single digits as compared to our previous expectation of between 22% and 25%, driven by the non-deductible nature of certain expenses incurred in conjunction with the acquisition of Alimera (against an annual forecasted GAAP pre-tax loss).

Truist Securities Maintains Hold on ANI Pharmaceuticals, Raises Price Target to $62

Avadel Pharmaceuticals plc (NASDAQ:AVDL) announced that the FDA has approved its supplemental new drug application (sNDA) seeking label expansion of Lumryz.
The drug is now approved in the United States for the treatment of cataplexy or excessive daytime sleepiness (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/eds#NASDAQ">EDS</a>) in patients aged seven years and older with narcolepsy.
The company&#39;s shares rose 5.1% on the news.&nbsp;
The stock fell 1.4% year to date compared with the <a href="https://www.zacks.com/stocks/industry-rank/industry/medical-biomedical-and-genetics-105">industry</a>&#39;s 0.7% decline.

Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
<h3>Label Expansion Of AVDL&#39;s Lumryz</h3>
Lumryz is a once-at-bedtime formulation extended-release sodium oxybate. It was first approved by the FDA on May 1, 2023, for the treatment of cataplexy or EDS in adult patients with narcolepsy.
Along with the approval, the FDA also granted seven years of orphan drug exclusivity to Lumryz for the treatment of cataplexy or EDS in adults with narcolepsy due to a finding of clinical superiority of Lumryz relative to currently available oxybate treatments.
Narcolepsy is a chronic neurological condition, wherein the brain&#39;s ability to regulate the sleep-wake cycle is impaired.
The latest FDA approval expands the drug&#39;s indication for younger narcolepsy patients.&nbsp; The drug was also granted orphan drug exclusivity in pediatric narcolepsy patients aged seven years and older through Oct. 16, 2031.
Pediatric patients (seven years and older) living with narcolepsy will now have the same opportunity that adult patients with narcolepsy have &mdash; to choose a once-nightly treatment option that does not disrupt sleep for a middle-of-the-night dose.
<h3>Lumryz Uptake Boosts AVDL</h3>
Avadel generated $41.5 million of net product revenues from the sales of Lumryz in the second quarter of 2024.
As of June 30, there were more than 1,900 patients on Lumryz compared to more than 1,400 as of March 31.
Pediatric patients currently represent approximately 5% of all oxybate-treated narcolepsy patients. Hence, the label expansion of the drug for this population should boost sales.
In addition, a phase III double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized withdrawal, multicenter study is evaluating the efficacy and safety of Lumryz in idiopathic hypersomnia (IH).&nbsp; Enrollment is open to patients who are currently being treated with a twice-nightly oxybate and those not taking oxybates. The study, which is expected to enroll approximately 150 adults diagnosed with IH, includes an open-label extension portion.
<h3>AVDL&#39;s Rank &amp; Other Stocks To Consider</h3>
Avadel carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) at present.&nbsp; Some other top-ranked stocks in the drug/biotech sector are Catalyst Pharmaceuticals CPRX, ANI Pharmaceuticals ANIP and

Alnylam Pharmaceuticals&nbsp;(NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/alny#NASDAQ">ALNY</a>) announced that it has submitted a Type II Variation to the&nbsp;European Medicines Agency for vutrisiran, an investigational RNAi therapeutic being developed to treat ATTR amyloidosis with cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM). Shares of the company gained 4.6% in response to the encouraging news.
Please note that Alnylam already markets vutrisiran in the EU under the brand name Amvuttra for treating hereditary transthyretin-mediated (hATTR) amyloidosis in adult patients with stage 1 or stage 2 polyneuropathy.
The application seeking approval for vutrisiran to treat ATTR-CM is supported by positive&nbsp;results from ALNY&#39;s pivotal phase III HELIOS-B study, which met all primary and secondary endpoints across both the overall and monotherapy populations, each with statistical significance.
Year to date, shares of Alnylam have gained 57% against the industry&#39;s 1% decline.
<img alt="Zacks Investment Research" src="https://staticx-tuner.zacks.com/images/articles/charts/42/81532.jpg?v=982164009" style="height:310px; width:600px" />
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
Per the data readout, vutrisiran reduced mortality and cardiovascular events while improving functional capacity (measured by the six-minute walk test), quality of life (using the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire), and heart failure symptoms and severity (via New York Heart Association class) in ATTR-CM patients.
Additionally, the safety profile of vutrisiran in the HELIOS-B study was consistent with its known profile for treating hATTR amyloidosis with polyneuropathy in adults. In the late-stage study, the rates of adverse events, including those leading to discontinuation, were similar between the vutrisiran and placebo groups.
<h2>Amvuttra &ndash; The Key Growth Driver for Alnylam</h2>
Please note that Alnylam also markets Amvuttra, the company&#39;s lead drug, in the United States for the treatment of adult patients with polyneuropathy of&nbsp;hATTR amyloidosis. The drug&#39;s sales contribute significantly to ALNY&#39;s top line. Amvuttra generated sales worth $425.4 million in the first half of 2024, up 82% year over year on a reported basis. The encouraging uptake of the drug is driven by new patients starting treatment as well as patients switching from Onpattro. Onpattro is approved in the United States and EU to treat hATTR amyloidosis in adults.
We remind the investors that a supplemental new drug application for vutrisiran, seeking its label expansion to treat ATTR-CM is also currently under review in the United States. If the regulatory applications in the EU and the United States are approved, Alnylam believes that vutrisiran has the potential to become the new standard of care for the treatment of ATTR-CM. This will expand the eligible patient population for the drug driving substantial growth for the company in the future.
Other marketed products include Givlaari for acute hepatic porphyria and Oxlumo injection for subcutaneous use for the treatment of primary hyperoxaluria type 1 to lower urinary and plasma oxalate levels in pediatric and adult patients.
Alnylam also markets a fifth drug, Leqvio (inclisiran), in collaboration with Novartis (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nvs#NYSE">NVS</a>) to treat hypercholesterolemia in the EU. In the United States, it is approved to reduce low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) with two doses per year. Per the agreement, Alnylam has granted Novartis exclusive and worldwide rights to manufacture and commercialize RNAi therapeutics targeting PCSK9 for treating hypercholesterolemia and other human diseases, including Leqvio. Novartis has also received FDA approval to expand Leqvio&#39;s label to include earlier use in patients with elevated LDL-C who have an increased risk of heart disease, as an adjunct to diet and statin therapy.

MeiraGTx Holdings&#39; (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/mgtx#NASDAQ">MGTX</a>) clinical bridging study of its gene therapy candidate, AAV-GAD, for treating Parkinson&#39;s disease (PD) met&nbsp;its primary study objective of safety&nbsp;and tolerability. The stock soared 14.9% in response to the news.
<h2>MGTX&#39;s PD Gene Therapy Candidate Betters Sham Treatment</h2>
The MGT-GAD-025 study of AAV-GAD for PD demonstrated significant and clinically meaningful improvements from baseline for key efficacy endpoints after 26 weeks of treatment.
Per the data readout, treatment with the candidate resulted in a statistically significant 18-point average improvement from baseline in the&nbsp;UPDRS Part 3 (motor examination) &quot;off&quot; medication score&nbsp;in the high-dose group at week 26. However, no significant change in the sham or low-dose groups was observed.
Additionally, MeiraGTx reported significant dose-dependent improvements from baseline in the disease-specific, patient-reported quality of life PDQ-39 score in both the high and low-dose groups with no significant change in the sham group at 26 weeks.
Year to date, shares of MeiraGTx have plunged 24.1% compared with the industry&#39;s 1.8% decline.
<img alt="Zacks Investment Research" src="https://staticx-tuner.zacks.com/images/articles/charts/4c/81354.jpg?v=599947683" style="height:310px; width:600px" />
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
The investigational gene therapy was also found to be generally safe and overall well-tolerated. No serious, AAV-GAD treatment-related adverse events were&nbsp;observed.
Per MGTX, PD is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder after Alzheimer&#39;s, affecting nearly one million people in the United States, with around 90,000 new cases diagnosed annually. Globally, more than 10 million people are living with PD. Initially, most patients respond well to dopamine replacement therapy, but over time, its effectiveness often diminishes and adverse side effects may arise, significantly impacting quality of life and daily functioning. This represents a high unmet medical need.
While the cause of PD remains unknown for most, a small percentage have a genetic basis. In all cases, PD involves disruptions in movement control circuits.
AAV-GAD has a novel mechanism of action that aims to correct the aberrant circuitry that results from the depletion of dopamine in the brain of idiopathic PD patients as the disease progresses. Using the company&#39;s proprietary delivery instrument, AAV-GAD is administered as a one-time infusion into the subthalamic nucleus, a key regulator of the circuits responsible for normal movement.
<h2>MGTX&#39;s Path Forward for AAV-GAD Following Upbeat Results</h2>
Based on the encouraging data readout from the MGT-GAD-025 study, MeiraGTx is currently gearing up to discuss these results with regulatory bodies in the United States, EU and Japan to potentially initiate a phase III study that will support the approval of this disease-modifying treatment globally.
Apart from AAV-GAD, the company has multiple other programs in clinical development, including the phase III Lumeos study for X-linked retinitis pigmentosa, phase I/II programs in achromatopsia and RPE65-deficiency, phase II study for radiation-induced xerostomia and a different mid-stage study for Sjogren&#39;s syndrome.

MGTX Stock Up on Upbeat Efficacy Data From Parkinson's Disease Study

Piper Sandler has initiated coverage on ANI Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ANIP#NASDAQ">ANIP</a>),&nbsp;an integrated specialty pharmaceutical firm that develops and markets <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ANIP" rel="noreferrer noopener">branded and generic medicines</a>.
The analyst notes that ANI&#8217;s business model has significantly transformed, shifting from a primary emphasis on generics to a new focus on integrating high-margin brand assets aimed at rare diseases. Cortrophin Gel (adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)), the company&#8217;s lead asset, has been the centerpiece of that evolution.
Cortrophin gel sales more than doubled to $49.2 million in the second quarter of 2024, driven primarily by increased volume. The company raised the fiscal year 2024 Cortrophin gel outlook from $170 million-$180 million <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/08/g40182933/ani-pharmaceuticals-reports-second-quarter-2024-financial-results-and-raises-2024-guidance" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">to $185 million-$195 million</a>.
The FDA approved Cortrophin Gel in 2021, which covers several autoimmune diseases. At that time, there was only one other ACTH player, Mallinckrodt Plc&#8217;s (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MNKTQ#OTC">MNKTQ</a>) Acthar Gel. The company and the drug have been associated with payer challenges, negative attention associated with the Medicaid rebate-related litigation and eventual settlement, and pandemic-associated disruption.
When ANI launched in the market, it identified significant promotion sensitivity linked to its relatively high-priced product, typically used after various more affordable immunomodulatory alternatives.
To address this, ANI developed a commercial framework concentrating on essential specialty areas, patient support systems, and market access.
Piper initiated with an Overweight rating and a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ANIP/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">price target of $68</a>.
Earlier this year, ANI Pharmaceuticals acquired Alimera Sciences for $5.50 per share in cash and one non-tradable contingent value right (CVR) of up to $0.50 per share upon achieving certain net revenue targets <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/06/39460281/generics-player-ani-pharmaceuticals-strengthens-rare-disease-segment-with-380m-alimera-sciences-d" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">in 2026 and 2027</a>.
With the acquisition, ANI gained Iluvien and Yutiq, both intravitreal implantable forms of the corticosteroid fluocinolone for diabetic macular edema and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/09/g40877461/ani-pharmaceuticals-inc-completes-acquisition-of-alimera-sciences" rel="noreferrer noopener">non-infectious uveitis</a>.
The transaction made sense, the analyst writes, especially since ANI had already established commercial infrastructure aimed at ophthalmologists to promote Cortrophin Gel, which is indicated for various ophthalmic conditions.
By incorporating Alimera&#8217;s current sales representatives, ANI can reach a broader pool of potential prescribers for Cortrophin Gel, thanks to the overlap with prescribers of Iluvien/Yutiq.
&#8220;ANI is well-positioned to de-lever considerably from the Alimera transaction in the next 12-18 months,&#8221; the analyst writes.
Price Action: ANIP stock is up 3.99% at $57.30 at last check Friday.
