Insider Decision: Bruce C Cozadd Offloads $110K Worth Of Jazz Pharmaceuticals Stock

First presentation of top-line efficacy and safety results from the Phase 4 DUET (Develop hypersomnia Understanding by Evaluating low-sodium oxybate Treatment) trial of adults with narcolepsy or idiopathic hypersomnia
For U.S. media and investors only
DUBLIN, Oct. 31, 2024 /PRNewswire/ --&nbsp;Jazz Pharmaceuticals plc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JAZZ#NASDAQ">JAZZ</a>) today announced that eight abstracts presenting data from across its sleep portfolio were featured at the 37th annual Psych Congress, held in Boston from October 29 through November 2, 2024. The data includes the top-line results of the Phase 4 DUET (Develop hypersomnia Understanding by Evaluating low-sodium oxybate Treatment) trial, evaluating the effectiveness of low-sodium oxybate on key sleep outcomes in adults with narcolepsy or idiopathic hypersomnia (IH). Notably, these DUET data are the first to show prospective improvements on excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS), as well as key polysomnography (PSG) outcomes of sleep disruption, among adults with narcolepsy treated with Xywav&#xAE; (calcium, magnesium, potassium, and sodium oxybates) oral solution. Further, new DUET data evaluating nighttime Xywav treatment in adults with IH demonstrate clinical improvements on daytime symptoms, including sleep inertia measured by the Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIc).&nbsp;
The DUET trial is a Phase 4, prospective, single-arm, open-label study to assess the effect of Xywav treatment on EDS, polysomnography parameters, and functional outcomes in adults with narcolepsy or IH. Observed adverse events were consistent with the known safety profile of Xywav, with the most common including nausea, dizziness and headache.

"We are pleased with the Court's ruling in favor of the FDA's clinical superiority determination for LUMRYZ in conjunction with final approval for use in adults with narcolepsy," the company said.

Here at Zacks, our focus is on the proven Zacks Rank system, which emphasizes earnings estimates and estimate revisions to find great stocks. Nevertheless, we are always paying attention to the latest value, growth, and momentum trends to underscore strong picks.
Of these, perhaps no stock market trend is more popular than value investing, which is a strategy that has proven to be successful in all sorts of market environments. Value investors use a variety of methods, including tried-and-true valuation metrics, to find these stocks.
Zacks has developed the innovative Style Scores system to highlight stocks with specific traits. For example, value investors will be interested in stocks with great grades in the &quot;Value&quot; category. When paired with a high Zacks Rank, &quot;A&quot; grades in the Value category are among the strongest value stocks on the market today.
One company to watch right now is Jazz Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/jazz#NASDAQ">JAZZ</a>). JAZZ is currently sporting a Zacks Rank of #2 (Buy) and an A for Value.
Investors should also note that JAZZ holds a PEG ratio of 1.05. This metric is used similarly to the famous P/E ratio, but the PEG ratio also takes into account the stock&#39;s expected earnings growth rate. JAZZ&#39;s PEG compares to its industry&#39;s average PEG of 2.21. JAZZ&#39;s PEG has been as high as 1.44 and as low as 0.64, with a median of 1.05, all within the past year.
Value investors also love the P/S ratio, which is calculated by simply dividing a stock&#39;s price with the company&#39;s sales. This is a popular metric because sales are harder to manipulate on an income statement, so they are often considered a better performance indicator. JAZZ has a P/S ratio of 1.76. This compares to its industry&#39;s average P/S of 3.11.
Finally, investors will want to recognize that JAZZ has a P/CF ratio of 5.74. This metric focuses on a firm&#39;s operating cash flow and is often used to find stocks that are undervalued based on the strength of their cash outlook. JAZZ&#39;s P/CF compares to its industry&#39;s average P/CF of 11.35. Over the past year, JAZZ&#39;s P/CF has been as high as 43.45 and as low as 5.21, with a median of 7.66.
These are just a handful of the figures considered in Jazz Pharmaceuticals&#39;s great Value grade. Still, they help show that the stock is likely being undervalued at the moment. Add this to the strength of its earnings outlook, and we can clearly see that JAZZ is an impressive value stock right now.

Is Jazz Pharmaceuticals Stock Undervalued Right Now?

The well-known cannabis-based pharmaceutical drug Epidiolex, primarily used to treat childhood epilepsy, may offer relief to veterans suffering from Gulf War Illness (GWI), according to new research.
A new study on rats shows the potential of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/epidiolex">Epidiolex</a>, the FDA-approved cannabidiol (CBD) drug produced by Jazz Pharmaceuticals PLC (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JAZZ#NASDAQ">JAZZ</a>)&#8217;s GW Pharmaceuticals, in addressing cognitive, mood and pain-related symptoms of GWI, a condition linked to chemical exposures during the 1990-1991 Gulf War.
The research, conducted by Chinese scientists, was first <a href="https://hemptoday.net/early-study-shows-epidiolex-may-have-potential-as-treatment-for-illness-in-veterans/">reported</a> by&nbsp;Hemp Today.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Cognitive And Pain Improvements Observed</h3>
The research, <a href="https://mmrjournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s40779-024-00563-2#Sec23">published</a> in Military Medical Research, reveals that long-term oral administration of CBD could alleviate cognitive impairments, mood disorders and chronic pain.
Rats treated with Epidiolex showed significant improvements in object recognition and memory retention, which are common areas of dysfunction in veterans with GWI. Additionally, CBD treatment helped ease anhedonia— the inability to experience pleasure— and reduced pain sensitivity.

</ul>
GWI, which affects 25% to 32% of the 700,000 veterans who served in Operation Desert Storm, stems from exposure to environmental hazards like pesticides, burning oil wells and chemical agents.
Veterans experience chronic fatigue, muscle and joint pain, gastrointestinal issues, respiratory problems, cognitive dysfunction and headaches. The study highlights CBD's ability to target brain pathways linked to neuroinflammation and oxidative stress, both of which worsen GWI symptoms. In this manner, these findings add to the general notion of cannabis helping Veterans to overcome the consequences of war-related activity.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Veterans, Cannabis And War-Related Ailments</h3>
Unlike previous treatments such as curcumin or melatonin, Epidiolex proved effective at lower doses, reducing the risk of side effects. The 20 mg/kg dose used in rats equates to about 3.2 mg/kg for humans, offering a more efficient solution compared to other treatments. 
The research also notes that Epidiolex didn't impact motor function, confirming &#8220;an excellent safety profile even when taken long-term in low doses, with no observed harmful effects.&#8221;
Despite these promising results, the study emphasizes the need for further research, especially regarding potential drug interactions. 
While CBD offers hope for veterans with GWI, comprehensive clinical studies are essential before it can become a widespread treatment. 
This study, adds to the growing body of research on CBD showing medical uses for cannabis and war-related illnesses, such as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/06/39381895/17-us-veterans-take-their-own-lives-everyday-heres-how-one-cannabis-company-is-trying-to-help">PTSD</a> and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/07/39774432/new-study-shows-high-use-of-medical-cannabis-for-chronic-pain-and-arthritis-in-older-patients">chronic pain</a>.

A final decision from the regulatory body is expected on Jan. 31, 2025. The FDA has designated the NDA resubmission as a Class 2 resubmission.

The NDA re-submission for AXS-07 for the acute treatment of migraine was completed during the second quarter of 2024. The FDA has not requested any additional safety or efficacy data for the NDA resubmission.
The NDA re-submission was earlier expected to be filed during the second half of 2023.
<h2>FDA Nod for AXS-07 to Diversify AXSM&#39;s Product Portfolio</h2>

Auvelity was launched in the United States in 2022 for the treatment of MDD, making it the first approved drug in the company&#39;s portfolio. The drug generated sales worth $118.4 million in the first half of 2024, up 172.8% year over year, owing to strong underlying demand.
