Neurocrine Biosciences Inc

Neurocrine Biosciences Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NBIX#NASDAQ">NBIX</a>) stock is trading higher on Tuesday after the company reported better-than-expected <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/05/n45206088/neurocrine-biosciences-reports-first-quarter-2025-financial-results-and-reaffirms-2025-financial-g" rel="noreferrer noopener">first-quarter 2025 earnings</a>.
The company on Monday reported adjusted EPS of 70 cents, lower than the $1.20 reported a year ago, beating&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">the consensus of 54 cents</a>.
Neurocrine reported sales of $572.6 million compared to $515.3 million a year ago, missing the&nbsp;consensus of $559.3 million.
Ingrezza&#8217;s first-quarter 2025 net product sales were&nbsp;$545 million, representing an 8% year-over-year growth, driven by underlying patient demand, including record new patient starts and improved gross-to-net dynamics.
<ul>
<li>Expanded formulary access for Ingrezza significantly improved coverage to include two-thirds of tardive dyskinesia (TD) and Huntington&#8217;s disease Medicare beneficiaries.</li>
<li>William Blair writes, &#8220;Ingrezza sales for the quarter were more resilient than investors had feared given Part D formulary utilization and Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TEVA#NYSE">TEVA</a>) Austedo competition.&#8221;</li>

Crenessity first-quarter net product sales were&nbsp;$14.5 million&nbsp;and included 413 total patient enrollment start forms, reflecting strong initial patient demand with approximately 70% reimbursement coverage for dispensed scripts.
Guidance:&nbsp;Neurocrine Biosciences reaffirms its <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/25/02/43569079/why-is-neurocrine-biosciences-stock-trading-lower-on-friday" rel="noreferrer noopener">2025 Ingrezza sales guidance</a> of $2.5 billion-$2.6 billion.
Despite headwinds, Ingrezza sales &#8220;avoided a big miss,&#8221; William Blair analyst Myles R. Minter said in a Tuesday research note.
Minter views Ingrezza as &#8220;the gold-standard pharmacotherapy for TD, given its once-daily dosing, no need for long dose titration intervals, and lack of a suicidality and depression FDA black-box warning.&#8221; In addition, the company boasts 14 years of potential future patent protection. 
&#8220;We also view the beat from Crenessity as indicative of a strong sales effort, and although early, we are impressed by the early launch metrics and interest in the orphan disease therapy,&#8221; Minter added.
William Blair <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/NBIX/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">maintains the Outperform rating</a>.

What to Expect from Neurocrine Biosciences's Earnings

&nbsp;<a href="https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=4416447-1&amp;h=523693498&amp;u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.neurocrine.com%2F&amp;a=Neurocrine+Biosciences%2C+Inc.">Neurocrine Biosciences, Inc.</a> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NBIX#NASDAQ">NBIX</a>) today announced the initiation of a Phase 3 registrational program to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of NBI-1117568, the company's investigational oral muscarinic M4 selective orthosteric agonist, as a potential treatment for schizophrenia. Positive top-line data for the Phase 2 clinical study in adults with schizophrenia were reported in <a href="https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=4416447-1&amp;h=2232133971&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fneurocrine.gcs-web.com%2Fnews-releases%2Fnews-release-details%2Fneurocrine-biosciences-reports-positive-phase-2-data-nbi-1117568&amp;a=August+2024">August 2024</a>.
"There is a significant need for new and innovative medicines to treat schizophrenia, a disorder that impacts millions of people and their families," said Eiry W. Roberts, M.D., Chief Medical Officer, Neurocrine Biosciences. "With positive Phase 2 data in hand, we're excited to advance this investigational novel compound that works directly and selectively at the muscarinic M4 receptor."
The Phase 3 study is a global double-blind, placebo-controlled trial evaluating NBI-1117568 in adults with a primary diagnosis of schizophrenia who are experiencing an acute exacerbation or relapse of symptoms. The study is expected to enroll approximately 280 patients. The primary endpoint of the study is a reduction from baseline in the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS). The key secondary endpoint is&nbsp;improvement in the Clinical Global Impression of Severity (CGI-S) scale.
Neurocrine is initiating the Phase 3 study supported by positive top-line data from the Phase 2 clinical study, which met its primary endpoint for the once-daily 20 mg dose. The study found:
<ul>
<li>A clinically meaningful and statistically significant reduction from baseline in the PANSS total score at Week 6 with a placebo-adjusted mean reduction of 7.5 points (p=0.011 and effect size of 0.61) and an 18.2-point reduction from baseline.</li>
<li>A statistically significant improvement across several secondary endpoints, including the CGI-S scale, Marder Factor Score – Positive Symptom Change, and Marder Factor Score – Negative Symptom Change.</li>
<li>NBI-1117568 was generally safe and well tolerated at all doses studied, with minimal gastrointestinal and cardiovascular adverse events.</li>
</ul>
About NBI-1117568 NBI-1117568 is the first and only investigational oral muscarinic M4 selective orthosteric agonist in clinical development for the treatment of schizophrenia. There are five muscarinic acetylcholine receptors involved in neurotransmission. Muscarinic receptors are central to brain function and validated as drug targets in psychosis and cognitive disorders. As an M4 selective orthosteric agonist, NBI-1117568 offers the potential for a novel mechanism with an improved safety profile without the need for combination therapy to minimize off-target pharmacology-related side effects, while also not being dependent on the presence of acetylcholine for efficacy.
