Lexicon Pharmaceuticals

At the Leerink conference, Lexicon Pharmaceuticals set its strategic focus on cardiometabolic diseases and chronic pain, prioritizing late‑stage programs. The company plans a resubmission of the NDA for Zynquista in type 1 diabetes, the SONATA Phase‑3 study of sotagliflozin in HCM will complete recruitment by midyear, and a Phase‑3 design for pilavapadin in DPNP has been agreed with positive FDA feedback. The partnership with Novo Nordisk for LX9851 has hit milestones (USD 10 million) with further payments possible, while regulatory approval risks and competitive pressure remain key challenges. » Plus sur de.investing.com
