The FDA will convene a meeting with the recently formed Genetic Metabolic Diseases Advisory Committee (GeMDAC) on August 2 to review the marketing application for Zevra Therapeutics Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ZVRA#NASDAQ">ZVRA</a>) arimoclomol for Niemann-Pick <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/07/g39687903/zevra-announces-fda-advisory-committee-meeting-to-review-arimoclomol-for-the-treatment-of-niemann-" rel="noreferrer noopener">disease type C (NPC)</a>.
The application for arimoclomol has been assigned a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) action date of September 21, which was <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/03/g37451763/zevra-therapeutics-provides-fda-update-on-the-pdufa-action-date-for-arimoclomol-as-a-treatment-for" rel="noreferrer noopener">extended from June 21</a>.
Previously <a target="_blank" href="https://investors.zevra.com/news-releases/news-release-details/correction-kempharm-announces-corporate-name-change-zevra" rel="noreferrer noopener">known</a> as KemPharm, Zevra Therapeutics acquired&nbsp;arimoclomol from Orphazyme <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/22/05/27213663/kempharm-acquires-battered-orphazymes-arimoclomol-program-for-13m" rel="noreferrer noopener">for $12.8 million</a>.&nbsp;
In 2021, the FDA issued a complete response letter to arimoclomol as a treatment option for <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/21/06/21621339/orphazyme-wild-party-at-risk-as-fda-rejects-its-rare-neurodegenerative-disease-drug?utm_source=feedburner&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Feed%3A+benzinga+%28Benzinga+News+Feed%29" rel="noreferrer noopener">Niemann-Pick disease type C</a>.
The CRL asked for additional qualitative and quantitative evidence to further support the validity and interpretation of the 5-domain NPC Clinical Severity Scale, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/21/11/23783862/orphazyme-stock-gains-after-fda-update-on-arimoclomol-in-rare-neurodegenerative-disorder" rel="noreferrer noopener">particularly the swallow domain</a>.
William Blair says the data supports the efficacy and safety of arimoclomol supports approval and expects significant patient advocacy at the meeting in support of approval.
Additionally, unlike the prior filing for arimoclomol, patient groups have already sent letters of support, including a petition from the National Niemann-Pick Disease Foundation and six other NPC advocacy and research organizations with nearly 1,000 signatures from NPC patients, caregivers, and physicians.
If approved, arimoclomol would represent a significant commercial opportunity for Zevra despite the ultra-rare nature of NPC. The analyst adds that NPC is believed to affect around 900 patients in the U.S., of whom an estimated 300-400 are currently diagnosed.
The company established a commercial infrastructure for launching Olpruva earlier this year. With about 70 patients on therapy through the early access program in the U.S., the analyst expects a strong launch.
This will involve converting these patients to full-launch participants and attracting new patients, many of whom have already shown interest.
Zevra owes modest milestones and mid-single-digit royalties to XOMA Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOMA#NASDAQ">XOMA</a>). Given the ultra-orphan nature of the patient population, pricing will be a key variable for all stakeholders involved, pending approval.
William Blair reiterates the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ZVRA/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">Outperform rating</a>.
Price Action: ZVRA shares are up 17.4% at $5.27 at last check Tuesday.

Peeling Back The Layers: Exploring XOMA Through Analyst Insights

XOMA (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOMA#NASDAQ">XOMA</a>) reported quarterly losses of $(0.86) per share which missed the analyst consensus estimate of $(0.81) by 6.17 percent. This is a 12.24 percent increase over losses of $(0.98) per share from the same period last year.

XOMA Q1 2024 GAAP EPS $(0.86) Misses $(0.81) Estimate

Lexicon Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/lxrx#NASDAQ">LXRX</a>) came out with a quarterly loss of $0.20 per share versus the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of $0.18. This compares to loss of $0.17 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.
This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of -11.11%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this drugmaker would post a loss of $0.23 per share when it actually produced a loss of $0.20, delivering a surprise of 13.04%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates two times.
Lexicon, which belongs to the Zacks Medical - Biomedical and Genetics industry, posted revenues of $1.13 million for the quarter ended March 2024, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 3.09%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $0.02 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates two times over the last four quarters.
The sustainability of the stock&#39;s immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management&#39;s commentary on the earnings call.
Lexicon shares have added about 7.8% since the beginning of the year versus the S&amp;P 500&#39;s gain of 5.2%.
What&#39;s Next for Lexicon?
While Lexicon has outperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors&#39; minds is: what&#39;s next for the stock?
There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company&#39;s earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.
Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.
Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Lexicon: favorable. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company&#39;s just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to outperform the market in the near future.
It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is -$0.16 on $2.74 million in revenues for the coming quarter and -$0.66 on $24.65 million in revenues for the current fiscal year.
Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Medical - Biomedical and Genetics is currently in the top 28% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.
Another stock from the same industry, Xoma (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/xoma#NASDAQ">XOMA</a>), has yet to report results for the quarter ended March 2024.
This drug developer is expected to post quarterly loss of $0.71 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +27.6%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 30.6% lower over the last 30 days to the current level.
Xoma&#39;s revenues are expected to be $0.96 million, up 117.1% from the year-ago quarter.

<h2>The Basics of Analyst Ratings</h2>
Benzinga tracks 150 analyst firms and reports on their stock expectations. Analysts typically arrive at their conclusions by predicting how much money a company will make in the future, usually the upcoming five years, and how risky or predictable that company's revenue streams are.
Analysts attend company conference calls and meetings, research company financial statements, and communicate with insiders to publish their ratings on stocks. Analysts typically rate each stock once per quarter or whenever the company has a major update.
In addition to their assessments, some analysts extend their insights by offering predictions for key metrics such as earnings, revenue, and growth estimates. This supplementary information provides further guidance for traders.
