Nice volume. Looks like we may be seeing the starts of a pinch. A lot of running room. I put my targets at .80, .90 then 1.30. Still a big up gap too after that.

Implementing Strategic Restructuring to Eliminate Commercial Organization and Rationalize Operations Across All Functions

Prioritizing Strong R&D Pipeline Including Ongoing Studies in DPNP, HCM and Obesity

Efforts Expected to Reduce 2025 Operating Costs by $100 Million

Conference Call and Webcast at 9:00 am ET

THE WOODLANDS, Texas, Nov. 22, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lexicon Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: LXRX) today announced that the company has made the strategic decision to eliminate its commercial operations and rationalize resources across all functions in order to preserve cash and focus its resources on advancing its promising clinical development pipeline. This prioritization of investment is designed to advance the research and development programs that have the greatest potential for value creation and patient impact.

This decision follows the receipt of a “deficiencies preclude discussion” letter from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regarding the Company’s New Drug Application (NDA) for Zynquista™ (sotagliflozin) as an adjunct to insulin therapy for glycemic control in adults with type 1 diabetes and chronic kidney disease (CKD). The letter noted deficiencies with the application that preclude discussion of labeling and/or post-marketing requirements and commitments at this time.

"While this decision was not made lightly, it reflects our commitment to make prudent business decisions that enhance value across our portfolio and deliver on our Lead to Succeed strategy," said Mike Exton, Ph.D., Lexicon’s chief executive officer and director. "We see significant potential in our strong pipeline of R&D opportunities, and we will focus our resources on programs with the potential for the greatest impact. We are confident that by carefully selecting therapeutic areas where we are the first and only therapy in class, and focusing our R&D efforts where there are significant needs, we can deliver innovations that will meaningfully benefit patients while simultaneously positioning Lexicon to fully realize future growth opportunities."

Details of the Strategic Restructuring

Complete elimination of the Company’s commercial field team and reduction in size of other functions across the organization, including the elimination of all promotional efforts for INPEFA® and all planned commercial activities for ZYNQUISTA.
A total reduction of approximately 60 percent of employees, effective for most affected employees by December 31st.
INPEFA to continue to be manufactured and made available to patients and existing prescribers.
An expected reduction of 2025 full year operating costs by $100 million. This amount is in addition to the $40 million in expected 2025 cost savings announced in August as part of a realignment of resources.
Reemerging as a Clinical Development-Focused Company
Lexicon will concentrate its resources on the continued research and development of its strong pipeline, including:

The Phase 2b PROGRESS study evaluating LX9211 in diabetic peripheral neuropathic pain (DPNP), with topline data anticipated in Q1 2025.
The pivotal Phase 3 SONATA HCM study evaluating sotagliflozin in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), with enrollment underway.
IND-enabling studies of LX9851, a novel, non-incretin oral development candidate in obesity and associated cardiometabolic disorders.
Advancing earlier stage opportunities for LX9211 and LX9851 in additional indications.
Exploring strategic partnerships to advance and accelerate the value of our pipeline.

FDA has assigned a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) target action date of December 20, 2024.

Chances are looking pretty slim though.

LXRX 10/18/2024 2.50 C Thinking the call action will be very much in play. I'm thinking shorts will need to cover soon.

Just my opinion.

Shorts keep increasing positions! 27.45m short as of today!! Betting against the institutions who took massive ownership in Q2??? Betting against the AdCom????

News: New Secondary Analysis of Phase 3 Data Demonstrates Sotagliflozin Improves Time-In-Range (TIR) and Several Parameters of Glucose Control and Variability in Basal Insulin-Treated Type 2 Diabetes

Study results aligned with positive clinical trial outcomes for type 1 diabetes treatment with sotagliflozin

TIR measures approach target set by American Diabetes Association

Data to be presented at the 60th Annual Meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) in Madrid, Spain and online

THE WOODLANDS, Texas, Sept. 10, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lexicon Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: LXRX) today announced that data from the SOTA-INS CGM Phase 3 randomized clinical trial demonstrated that once-daily dosing of sotagliflozin 400 mg improved time-in-range (TIR) and several continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) parameters, including glucose variability, in insulin-treated type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients. Researchers also observed positive trends with the once-daily dose of 200 mg. Study findings will be presented September 12th at the 60th Annual Meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) in Madrid, Spain and online.

The objective of the SOTA-INS CGM study was to evaluate the effect of sotagliflozin on TIR as assessed by CGM in people with T2D. The primary sub-study endpoint was mean change in percentage of time spent within TIR (glucose 70-180 mg/dL [3.9-10.0 mmol/L]) over 24 hours for sotagliflozin 400 mg versus placebo.

The American Diabetes Association recommends a TIR target of at least 70% (17 hours) in people with type 1 diabetes (T1D) or T2D. In this study, sotagliflozin 200 mg and 400 mg once daily TIR (15.3 and 15.9 hours, respectively) approached the ADA target, with modest reductions in time-above-range (TAR) and mild increases in time-below-range (TBR).

Sotagliflozin has previously demonstrated glycemic efficacy and improvements in TIR as an adjunct to insulin therapy in people with T1D who participated in the inTandem clinical trial program.

Garbage

Interesting sales estimates for Sota.

Leerink initiated coverage of Lexicon with an Outperform rating and $5 price target. The firm believes Lexicon’s first-in-class dual SGLT1/2 inhibitor sotagliflozin could address unmet need across multiple indications with large market opportunities, including heart failure, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and Type 1 diabetes with chronic kidney disease, which could collectively drive blockbuster sales. Inpefa’s U.S. launch in HF should benefit from several meaningful tailwinds, Leerink says. It forecasts peak U.S. sales of $1B for Inpefa in HF and peak U.S. sales of $325M for sotagliflozin in HCM in FY32. The firm also points out that Lexicon plans to resubmit Zynquista’s NDA filing by mid-2024, with an anticipated 6-month review. Leerink forecasts peak U.S. sales of $225M for Zynquista in T1D with CKD in FY32.

Almost added back in but want to see confirmation for bottom. Double bottoms can be tricky. But even so, long term I like this.

Upgrading to buy while I'm watching for the gap to fill which may put this around 1.40's. We'll see. I think analysts are always late to the party but this report is actually pretty timely.

Quite the gap there if that's what you're looking at.

Lexicon will resubmit an NDA for sotagliflozin for patients with type 1 diabetes and chronic kidney disease. Good news. FDA rejected an NDA for type 1 diabetes in 2019. Now they changed their mind but only for patients with T1D+CKD. According to today's company presentation, slide 10, this population makes 21% of adults with T1D, or ~357,000 patients. Not a big addition to current indication. However, it will be the first gliflozin approved for T1D. No competition.

Agree. Too easy here. So predictable they'd be doing an offering though. Easy peasy this one is.
Taking nibbles in the 2.50's. Should have sold more on the highs yesterday.
