DD on ZGNX 100 Mill $$$ Mkt Cap 71 Mill in Cash & approved Migraine drug doing 40 mill in sales 2011 & projected to do 80 mill in 2012 BUT their big dollar drug has phase 3 trials completed & positive on their ( First to Market ) Extended release Hydrocodone drug & also ( First to Market ) APAP free or Acetaminophen free ( causes Liver Toxicity) & FDA cracking down on it. ZGNX according to last CC has already been approached by Pharmas looking to partner up on drug & will make a decision in early 2012 whether to partner or go alone. Why go alone ??? Huge market for Hydrocodone ( Over 6 Billion Dollars a Year ) & Oppenhiemer has opined that ZGNX drug will do around 500 Million a year in sales. Insiders know the potential & have bought over 56% of the total outstanding shares 36.4 Million shares including the 7.1 Million shares purchased in September. Coupled with the 18 Million shares just purchased in the last 3 months by Institutions which now totals over 25 million shares & growing . BTW 18 million shares bought 11 thousand shares sold ???? FLOAT is around 4 Million shares 4 MILLION ...This is a sure shot double/triple/??? easily could be another INHX $2 to $10 quickly on FDA or Partner news or a straight buyout..INSANE Valuation here

We believe that our cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2011, together with future revenue and borrowings available under our $10.0 million revolving credit facility, will be sufficient to fund our operations into the second quarter of 2013.

Ich habe noch nie einen Wert gesehen bei dem die Insiderkäufe im Vergleich zu den außenstehenden Aktien zu extrem sind.
Hier kommt was auf jeden Fall.
ZGNX ist keine Tradingaktie, sondern ein Investment.
Im ersten Quartal 2012 wird das Migränemedikamet von ZGNX entweder von FDA zugelassen oder nicht.
Aktuell sind ca. 900.000 short.

ZGNX news - Zogenix Completes Zohydro(TM) Pre-NDA Meetings With FDA
Zohydro NDA Submission on Track
SAN DIEGO, Dec. 20, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Zogenix, Inc. (Nasdaq:ZGNX - News), a pharmaceutical company commercializing and developing products for the treatment of central nervous system disorders and pain, today announced that it has concluded its pre-New Drug Application (NDA) meetings with the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) related to its lead investigational product candidate, Zohydro(TM) (hydrocodone bitartrate extended-release capsules). The purpose of the meetings was to discuss the non-clinical, clinical and Chemistry, Manufacturing and Controls (CMC) development of Zohydro, and to agree on the submission requirements for the NDA submission under 505(b)(2) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. After a detailed review of the submission timeline, Zogenix plans to submit the NDA for Zohydro early in the second quarter of 2012.
Stephen Farr, PhD, president and chief operating officer of Zogenix, said, "The completion of our pre-NDA meetings with the FDA brings us one more important step closer to potentially gaining approval for Zohydro. We appreciate the informative interactions, timeliness, and clarity provided by the FDA, as well as the full support of Alkermes, our CMC partner, in the pre-NDA meeting process."
Zohydro is being evaluated for the management of moderate to severe chronic pain in patients requiring continuous around-the-clock opioid therapy for an extended period of time. If approved, Zohydro could be the first extended-release hydrocodone therapy available without acetaminophen, which is associated with an increased risk of liver toxicity when used in high doses over time.
Hydrocodone pain products represent the largest prescription drug category in the United States, with over 128 million prescriptions filled in 2010. The Company believes Zohydro's ability to provide consistent 12-hour pain relief, without exposure to acetaminophen, will position the product well in this large market.
About Zohydro
Zohydro is a novel, oral, single entity (without acetaminophen) extended-release capsule formulation of hydrocodone bitartrate. When used in high dosages over time, acetaminophen can cause liver toxicity. If approved, Zohydro could be the first single-entity hydrocodone therapy available. Zohydro uses Alkermes' patented Spheriodal Oral Drug Absorption System (SODAS(R)) drug delivery technology which serves to enhance the release profile of hydrocodone to provide consistent 12-hour pain relief relative to existing immediate release combination products. Capsule strengths utilized in the Phase 3 studies included 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 mg capsules.
About Chronic Pain
The American Pain Society estimated in 1999 that 9% of the U.S. adult population suffers from moderate to severe non-cancer related chronic pain. Chronic pain can be treated with both immediate-release and extended-release opioids. Marketed hydrocodone products are the most commonly prescribed pharmaceuticals in the U.S., generating $3.2 billion in sales during the 12 months ended December 2010 (Wolters Kluwer Pharma Solutions, Source Pharmaceutical Audit Suite Retail, January 2010 -- December 2010). All of these hydrocodone products contain an analgesic combination ingredient, primarily acetaminophen. Acetaminophen may cause liver toxicity when used in high dosages over time.
About Zogenix
Zogenix, Inc. (Nasdaq:ZGNX - News), with offices in San Diego and Emeryville, California, is a pharmaceutical company commercializing and developing products for the treatment of central nervous system disorders and pain. Zogenix's first commercial product, SUMAVEL(R) DosePro(R) (sumatriptan injection) Needle-free Delivery System, was launched in January 2010 for the acute treatment of migraine and cluster headache. Zogenix's lead investigational product candidate, Zohydro(TM) (hydrocodone bitartrate), is a novel, oral, single-entity (without acetaminophen) extended-release capsule formulation currently in Phase 3 clinical trials for the management of moderate to severe chronic pain in patients requiring around-the-clock opioid therapy. Zogenix's second investigational DosePro product candidate, Relday(TM), is a proprietary, long-acting injectable formulation of risperidone for the treatment of schizophrenia.

Zogenix, Astellas To End Co-Promotion Agreement For Sumavel Drug
Pharmaceutical company Zogenix Inc. (ZGNX) said it agreed to end its co-promotion of the Sumavel DosePro needle-free delivery system with Astellas Pharma U.S. Inc., a U.S. subsidiary of Astellas Pharma Inc. (4503.TO), on March 31 next year.
Sumavel DosePro is Zogenix's first commercial product and was launched with Astellas in January of last year to treat migraines and cluster headaches. Zogenix develops drugs for the treatment of nervous system disorders and pain.
Beginning in the second quarter of 2012, Zogenix will assume full responsibility for the commercialization of Sumavel, focusing on headache specialists, neurologists and primary care physicians who treat a lot of migraine patients.
Zogenix Chief Executive Roger Hawley said ending the co-promotion will lower its expenses, since Zogenix will no longer pay a service fee to Astellas beginning in the second quarter of 2012. He said the company is exploring the potential of modestly expanding its sales force and considering other Sumavel promotion partners.
Neither company will incur a penalty payment for terminating the agreement, which was originally slated to expire in June 2013. The companies plan to agree on a detailed customer transition plan by February next year, with the goal of uninterrupted access and service to physicians receiving the drug from Astellas.
Last month, Zogenix said its third-quarter loss edged lower on higher sales of Sumavel.
Shares closed Tuesday at $1.60 and were inactive premarket. The stock is down 72% year to date.

Super Painkiller Needs Extra Scrutiny From FDA, NY Senator Says
January 09, 2012, 5:07 PM EST
By Anna Edney
Jan. 9 (Bloomberg) -- Powerful painkillers being researched by Zogenix Inc., a specialty pharmaceutical company, should be severely restricted if U.S. regulators decide to approve them, a New York senator said today.
Senator Charles Schumer, a Democrat, wrote Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Margaret Hamburg urging her to proceed with caution before allowing what he called “super” drugs that are 10 times more powerful than Vicodin on the market. Zogenix and at least three other companies are researching pure-form hydrocodone pain relievers, according to a statement from Schumer.
The products have never been sold in the U.S. and would be the most powerful prescription painkillers available, Schumer said. The senator urged FDA to closely track any approved hydrocodone products and take precautions to deter abuse as well as closely monitor advertising and sales.
“It’s tremendously concerning that at the same time policy makers and law enforcement professionals are waging a war on the growing prescription drug crisis, new and more powerful super- drugs could well be on their way, flooding the market,” Schumer said.
Zogenix’s product, Zohydro, began final phases of testing in March 2010, according to the company’s website. Zogenix plans to submit an application to the FDA for approval in the second quarter of 2012, Victoria Aguiar, a spokeswoman for Zogenix, said in an e-mail.
The company is attempting to develop a safer pain treatment than Vicodin, which contains acetaminophen and can cause liver toxicity, Aguiar said. Zogenix also plans to implement a risk mitigation strategy that recognizes the abuse potential of its product.
Zogenix rose less than 1 percent to $2.84 at the close in New York. The shares have declined 53 percent in the past 12 months.

Zogenix and Battelle Ink Marketing Agreement for DosePro(R) Drug Delivery Technology
Zogenix, Inc. (Nasdaq:ZGNX), a pharmaceutical company commercializing and developing products for the treatment of central nervous system disorders and pain, and Battelle, the world's largest independent research and development organization, today finalized their previously announced collaborative agreement to advance out-licensing opportunities and development of Zogenix's DosePro® drug delivery technology. Battelle and Zogenix will co-market DosePro technology to potential pharmaceutical and government clients with the objective of licensing the system for use with innovative therapeutics that would be enabled or enhanced by DosePro's unique needle-free delivery system.
DosePro offers increased safety and convenience compared to needle-based injection via syringes or auto-injectors by providing a pre-filled, single-use, disposable, needle-free drug delivery system that is easy to use and preferred by patients. Compared to other delivery technologies, DosePro has the potential to solve the significant challenges of delivering viscous drug formulations, such as high concentration biologics, which cannot be delivered with traditional needle-based injection.
The DosePro drug delivery technology is covered by more than 46 internationally issued patents extending through 2026. Zogenix has produced in excess of 1.5 million units of the company's migraine therapy, SUMAVEL® DosePro®, which has received approval in the United States and Europe using the DosePro technology. Patient experience has demonstrated that patients will switch from oral to injectable formulations when provided the option of using SUMAVEL DosePro, despite the availability of a needle-based product for over a decade.
John Turanin, Vice President and General Manager, DosePro Technology, at Zogenix, states, "Battelle has a strong reputation for product development that has earned them a 'who's who' client list in the pharmaceutical industry. Collaborating on DosePro provides additional support of our technology and the backing of a significant technical business partner. We expect the out-licensing effort to accelerate now that we are working with Battelle. We have already trained their business development team and are expanding laboratory capabilities to begin working on DosePro product candidates."
Barbara Kunz, President of Battelle Health and Life Sciences Global Business, said, "This collaboration enables Battelle to expand our platform of innovative drug delivery solutions to our pharmaceutical customers. We believe DosePro will be able to assist our clients with addressing many of the challenges they face today, in particular, the delivery of highly viscous drug formulations."
Battelle's business development professionals responsible for life and health sciences will market DosePro to their customers in strategic product planning meetings, at conferences, in trade publications, and through other marketing communications. The technical teams from both Battelle and Zogenix are working together to create a center of excellence for DosePro technology development and testing within Battelle's laboratories. Battelle has the option to enter into an agreement with Zogenix to jointly develop and commercialize an iteration of the DosePro technology which delivers a larger dose (1.2mL) than the current dose size of 0.5mL.
For more information on licensing opportunities using the DosePro platform contact Michael Chansler from Battelle at (206) 588-9827 or chanslerm@battelle.org.
About DosePro®
The DosePro system is a first-in-class, easy-to-use drug delivery system designed for self-administration of a pre-filled, single dose of liquid drug, subcutaneously, without a needle. The platform is currently used by Zogenix's first commercial product, SUMAVEL DosePro®, and its investigational candidate, Relday. The Company believes that DosePro offers several benefits to patients compared to other subcutaneous delivery methods, and that it has the potential to become a preferred delivery option for patients and physicians. These benefits include less anxiety or fear due to the lack of a needle, easier disposal without the need for a sharps container, no risk of needle stick injury or contamination, an easy-to-use three step process, no need to fill or manipulate the device, reliable performance, discreet use and portability. In several clinical trials and market research studies, DosePro has been shown to be preferred by patients over conventional needle-based systems.

Zogenix, Inc. (Nasdaq:ZGNX), with offices in San Diego and Emeryville, California, is a pharmaceutical company commercializing and developing products for the treatment of central nervous system disorders and pain.

Zogenix's lead investigational product candidate, Zohydro™ (hydrocodone bitartrate), is a novel, oral, 12-hour extended-release formulation of hydrocodone without acetaminophen for the treatment of moderate to severe chronic pain requiring around the clock opioid therapy which has recently completed Phase 3 clinical trials. Zogenix's second DosePro investigational product candidate, Relday™, is a proprietary, long-acting injectable formulation of risperidone for the treatment of schizophrenia.

Zogenix Submits New Drug Application (NDA) to U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for Zohydro™ for Treatment of Chronic Pain
SAN DIEGO, May 2, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Zogenix, Inc. (ZGNX), a pharmaceutical company commercializing and developing products for the treatment of central nervous system disorders and pain, announced today that the Company has submitted a New Drug Application (NDA) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for Zohydro™ (hydrocodone bitartrate extended-release capsules), Zogenix's lead investigational product candidate for the treatment of chronic pain.
Zohydro is a novel, oral, single-entity (without acetaminophen) extended-release formulation of various strengths of hydrocodone intended for administration every 12 hours for around the clock management of moderate to severe chronic pain. If approved, Zohydro could be the first hydrocodone product to offer the benefit of less frequent dosing and the ability to treat patients with chronic pain without the risk of acetaminophen-related liver injury. Currently, hydrocodone is only available in immediate-release, combination products, most commonly with the analgesic acetaminophen, and requires dosing every 4 to 6 hours. Zohydro, classified as a Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) Schedule II drug product, would carry more strict prescription and dispensing rules as compared to the currently available hydrocodone combination products. In addition, Zogenix has included in the NDA a comprehensive Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) that is consistent with current FDA and industry-wide guidelines for extended-release opioid products. The REMS is intended to control inappropriate prescribing, misuse and abuse of extended-release opioids while maintaining patient access to essential pain medications.
"The NDA submission for Zohydro is a significant milestone, bringing us another step closer to making this important acetaminophen-free hydrocodone treatment option available to patients in need of around the clock therapy for chronic pain," said Stephen Farr, Ph.D., president and chief operating officer of Zogenix. "Hydrocodone is often a physician's first opioid recommendation for treating acute, moderate or moderately severe pain. However, many patients are being treated with hydrocodone combination products that include acetaminophen and, when used in high dosages or over long periods of time, put themselves at risk for developing liver injury. Zohydro could provide a significant new treatment alternative that does not contribute to this health risk."
The NDA submission is based on data from over 1,100 patients with chronic pain participating in the pivotal Phase 3 efficacy study (Study 801), and an open-label Phase 3 safety study (Study 802) of Zohydro. Study 801 successfully met its primary efficacy endpoint, demonstrating that Zohydro resulted in significantly (p=0.008) improved chronic pain relief compared to placebo. The two key secondary endpoints in this study - the proportion of patients with at least 30% improvement in pain intensity and the improvement of overall satisfaction of medication - were also met. Additional study endpoints were supportive of the efficacy of Zohydro compared to placebo. The study demonstrated that Zohydro was generally safe and well tolerated. Overall, the most commonly reported adverse events (greater than or equal to 2%) in the placebo-controlled pivotal Phase 3 efficacy Study 801 in opioid-experienced patients were consistent with those typically seen with chronic opioid therapy and were constipation, nausea, somnolence, fatigue, headache, dizziness, dry mouth, vomiting and pruritus. Study 802, in which patients received Zohydro for up to 12 months, further demonstrated that Zohydro was generally safe and well tolerated, and the incidence of adverse events was consistent with that seen in the pivotal Phase 3 efficacy study.
In conjunction with Zohydro's NDA submission, Zogenix is required to make a milestone payment of $1.0 million to Alkermes Pharma Ireland Limited (APIL), a subsidiary of Alkermes, plc, under the Company's exclusive license agreement with APIL in the U.S. for Zohydro.
About Zohydro
Zohydro is a novel, oral, single-entity extended-release formulation of hydrocodone without acetaminophen for the management of moderate to severe chronic pain in patients requiring around the clock opioid therapy. If approved, Zohydro could be the first single-entity hydrocodone therapy, avoiding the potential for liver injury associated with the use of acetaminophen in high doses or over long periods of time.
Zohydro uses APIL's patented Spheroidal Oral Drug Absorption System (SODAS®) drug delivery technology which serves to enhance the release profile of hydrocodone to provide extended-release pain relief relative to existing immediate-release combination products.
About Chronic Pain
Chronic pain is defined as ongoing or recurrent pain that adversely affects an individual's well-being. An estimated 116 million people in the United States are burdened with chronic pain, at an estimated national economic cost of $560 to $635 billion annually.
Chronic pain can be treated with both immediate-release and extended-release opioids. Currently marketed hydrocodone products are only immediate-release and contain an analgesic combination ingredient, primarily acetaminophen. Acetaminophen may cause liver injury when used in high dosages, over long periods of time or in accidental overdoses due to multiple acetaminophen products being taken at once.
About Zogenix
Zogenix, Inc. (ZGNX), with offices in San Diego and Emeryville, California, is a pharmaceutical company commercializing and developing products for the treatment of central nervous system disorders and pain. Zogenix's first commercial product, SUMAVEL® DosePro® (sumatriptan injection) Needle-free Delivery System, was launched in January 2010 for the acute treatment of migraine and cluster headache. Zogenix's lead investigational product candidate, Zohydro™ (hydrocodone bitartrate), is a novel, oral, single-entity (without acetaminophen) extended-release formulation of various strengths of hydrocodone intended for administration every 12 hours for around the clock management of moderate to severe chronic pain. Zogenix submitted an NDA to the FDA for Zohydro in May 2012. Zogenix's second DosePro investigational product candidate, Relday™, is a proprietary, long-acting injectable formulation of risperidone for the treatment of schizophrenia.

Zogenix Submits New Drug Application (NDA) to U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for Zohydro™ for Treatment of Chronic Pain
SAN DIEGO, May 2, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Zogenix, Inc. (ZGNX), a pharmaceutical company commercializing and developing products for the treatment of central nervous system disorders and pain, announced today that the Company has submitted a New Drug Application (NDA) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for Zohydro™ (hydrocodone bitartrate extended-release capsules), Zogenix's lead investigational product candidate for the treatment of chronic pain.
Zohydro is a novel, oral, single-entity (without acetaminophen) extended-release formulation of various strengths of hydrocodone intended for administration every 12 hours for around the clock management of moderate to severe chronic pain. If approved, Zohydro could be the first hydrocodone product to offer the benefit of less frequent dosing and the ability to treat patients with chronic pain without the risk of acetaminophen-related liver injury. Currently, hydrocodone is only available in immediate-release, combination products, most commonly with the analgesic acetaminophen, and requires dosing every 4 to 6 hours. Zohydro, classified as a Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) Schedule II drug product, would carry more strict prescription and dispensing rules as compared to the currently available hydrocodone combination products. In addition, Zogenix has included in the NDA a comprehensive Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) that is consistent with current FDA and industry-wide guidelines for extended-release opioid products. The REMS is intended to control inappropriate prescribing, misuse and abuse of extended-release opioids while maintaining patient access to essential pain medications.
"The NDA submission for Zohydro is a significant milestone, bringing us another step closer to making this important acetaminophen-free hydrocodone treatment option available to patients in need of around the clock therapy for chronic pain," said Stephen Farr, Ph.D., president and chief operating officer of Zogenix. "Hydrocodone is often a physician's first opioid recommendation for treating acute, moderate or moderately severe pain. However, many patients are being treated with hydrocodone combination products that include acetaminophen and, when used in high dosages or over long periods of time, put themselves at risk for developing liver injury. Zohydro could provide a significant new treatment alternative that does not contribute to this health risk."
The NDA submission is based on data from over 1,100 patients with chronic pain participating in the pivotal Phase 3 efficacy study (Study 801), and an open-label Phase 3 safety study (Study 802) of Zohydro. Study 801 successfully met its primary efficacy endpoint, demonstrating that Zohydro resulted in significantly (p=0.008) improved chronic pain relief compared to placebo. The two key secondary endpoints in this study - the proportion of patients with at least 30% improvement in pain intensity and the improvement of overall satisfaction of medication - were also met.

Item 1.01 Material Definitive Agreement
On June 6, 2012, Zogenix, Inc. (“Zogenix”) and Mallinckrodt LLC (“Mallinckrodt”) entered into a co-promotion agreement. Under the terms of the co-promotion agreement (the “Agreement”), Mallinckrodt was granted a co-exclusive right (with Zogenix) to promote Sumavel DosePro to a mutually agreed prescriber audience in the United States. Under the Agreement, Mallinckrodt’s sales team will begin selling Sumavel DosePro to its customer base of prescribers no later than August 20, 2012. Mallinckrodt has committed to a minimum number of sales representatives for the initial term of the Agreement, which runs through June 30, 2014, and can be extended by mutual agreement of the parties in additional six month increments. Zogenix remains responsible for the manufacture, supply and distribution of commercial product for sale in the United States. In addition, Zogenix will supply product samples to Mallinckrodt at an agreed upon transfer price and Mallinckrodt will reimburse Zogenix for all other promotional materials used.
In partial consideration of Mallinckrodt’s sales efforts, Zogenix will pay Mallinckrodt a service fee on a quarterly basis that represents a specified fixed percentage of net sales of prescriptions generated from Mallinckrodt’s prescriber audience over a baseline amount of net sales to the same prescriber audience (the “Baseline Net Sales”). In addition, upon completion of the co-promotion term in June 30, 2014 (unless otherwise extended), and only if the Agreement is not terminated as a result of certain circumstances, Zogenix will be required to pay Mallinckrodt an additional tail payment calculated as a fixed percentage of the Mallinckrodt net sales over the Baseline Net Sales during the first full twelve (12) months following the last day of the term.
Mallinckrodt may terminate the Agreement with sixty (60) days notice in the event a material change is made to the net sales price of Sumavel DosePro that would result in a material adverse effect to Mallinckrodt’s financial return (as defined in the Agreement). Mallinckrodt may also terminate the Agreement if its request for the inclusion on its call list of a certain number of additional prescribers is not mutually agreed upon. Lastly, Mallinckrodt may terminate the Agreement if a governmental authority takes action or raises an objection that prevents or would reasonably be expected to make it unlawful for Mallinckrodt to perform, or subject Mallinckrodt to any penalty or claim, investigation or similar action related to, its obligations under the Agreement, in the event of Zogenix’s inability to meet trade demand for commercial product or where a third party files an action alleging that the making or selling of Sumavel DosePro infringes the intellectual property rights of such third party.
Zogenix may terminate the Agreement with sixty (60) days notice if Mallinckrodt does not achieve an agreed-upon minimum sales effort. Either party may terminate the agreement if certain minimum net sales thresholds are not met for any quarter ending after December 31, 2012 or certain levels of prescriptions are not met in a specified period. In addition, either party may terminate the Agreement related to safety concerns, in the event of a change of control of itself or the other party (excluding with respect to Mallinckrodt, any public spin-off of Mallinckrodt from its corporate parent Covidien plc), upon the introduction of a generic product, in connection with the material breach of the other party’s obligations or if a bankruptcy event occurs under certain circumstances.

3 Healthcare Stocks With Recent Intensive Insider Buying
December 19, 2012 | includes: AVEO, NBY, ZGNX
Disclosure: I am long NBY, ZGNX. (More...)
When insiders accumulate a stock intensively, the stock can be expected to outperform the market during the next six months. Insiders tend to buy more often than usual before large price increases.
Intensive insider buying can be defined by the following three criteria:
The stock is purchased by three or more insiders within one month.
The stock is sold by no insiders in the month of intensive purchasing.
At least two purchasers increase their holdings by more than 10 percent.
In this article I will feature three healthcare stocks that met these three criteria of intensive insider buying during the last 30 days.
1. NovaBay Pharmaceuticals (NBY), a clinical-stage biotechnology company, engages in the development of various product candidates for the therapeutic needs of the anti-infective market.
(click to enlarge)
Insider buys
David Stroman purchased 10,000 shares on December 6 pursuant to a public offering. David Stroman currently holds 22,000 shares or less than 0.1% of the company. Dr. David Stroman joined NovaBay in October 2011 as Senior Vice President of Ophthalmic Drug Development.
Thomas Paulson purchased 10,000 shares on December 6 pursuant to a public offering. Thomas Paulson currently holds 63,855 shares or 0.2% of the company. Thomas Paulson has served as NovaBay's Chief Financial Officer since January 2008.
Ramin Najafi purchased 20,000 shares on December 6 pursuant to a public offering. Ramin Najafi currently controls 3,217,695 shares or 10.8% of the company. Ramin Najafi is the founder and Chairman of NovaBay. He has served as President since July 2002, and as Chief Executive Officer since November 2004.
Financials
The company reported the third-quarter financial results on November 1 with the following highlights:
Revenue $3.6 million
Net income $0.1 million
Cash $11.9 million
NovaBay received approximately $6.34 million from the public offering which closed on December 6.
Upcoming milestones
Ophthalmology
• Viral conjunctivitis (unmet medical need)
- Phase 2b global 450 patient trial. Results from the global trial expected 2H13.
• Bacterial conjunctivitis (new clinical target)
- Phase 2a proof-of-concept bacterial conjunctivitis trial, facilitating ultimate goal of one product for the treatment of both viral and bacterial conjunctivitis.
Dermatology - Impetigo
• Partner Galderma S.A. initiated Phase 2b global trial of NVC-422 for treatment of impetigo, a highly contagious skin infection, in September 2012. Galderma expects to report results in mid 2013.
Urology - UCBE
• Ongoing Phase 2 clinical trial for treatment of urinary catheter blockage and encrustation [UCBE]. Clinical data expected 1H13.
Chronic Non-Healing Wounds - NeutroPhase
• Secured agreement with Pioneer Pharma to market NeutroPhase throughout China in January 2012; expanded agreement to include Southeast Asia in September 2012. NeutroPhase recently utilized as part of successful new therapeutic technique for management of necrotizing fasciitis (NF, or "flesh-eating bacteria"). First commercial shipment of NeutroPhase to Southeast Asia completed in December 2012. Additional marketing agreements expected worldwide in 2013.
My analysis
The stock is currently trading below its 200-day moving average. There have been three insider buy transactions and there have not been any insider sell transactions during the last 30 days. There is one analyst buy rating, 0 neutral ratings and 0 sell ratings with a average target price of $3.50. The company is going to present results from three different phase 2b trials during 2013. The outlook for these results is positive based on the insider trading activity. I would expect each of these three results to move the stock at least 20% up or down. I have a long position in the stock currently.

When insiders accumulate a stock intensively, the stock can be expected to outperform the market during the next six months. Insiders tend to buy more often than usual before large price increases.
Intensive insider buying can be defined by the following three criteria:
The stock is purchased by three or more insiders within one month.
The stock is sold by no insiders in the month of intensive purchasing.
At least two purchasers increase their holdings by more than 10 percent.
In this article I will feature three healthcare stocks that met these three criteria of intensive insider buying during the last 30 days.

Is Zogenix A Buy After FDA Panel Says 'No' To Zohydro?
December 14, 2012 | 10 comments | about: ZGNX, includes: ABT, ACUR, ALKS, COV, DRRX, JNJ, MAPP, NKTR, PTIE, TEVA
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours. (More...)
Zogenix Inc., (ZGNX) is the first pharmaceutical company to face a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) panel seeking approval for pure hydrocodone, a painkilling drug that can be 10 times stronger than Vicodin.
Hydrocodone was first synthesized in Germany in 1920 and approved by the FDA in 1943. Hydrocodone is a semi-synthetic opioid derived from either codeine or thebaine. Hydrocodone compounded with acetaminophen produced the popular drug, Vicodin. Due to concerns about liver damage from prolonged use of acetaminophen at high doses, four pharmaceutical companies are developing extended-release versions of pure hydrocodone.
On December 10, 2012, shares of Zogenix sank to an all-time low after the FDA's Anesthetic and Analgesic Drug Products Advisory Committee ((AADPAC)) voted 2 to 11 (with one abstention) against the approval of Zohydro, the company's hydrocodone-based chronic pain reliever.
Zohydro ER
Zohydro ER (hydrocodone bitartrate extended-release capsules) is an extended-release formulation of hydrocodone without acetaminophen, formulated for the management of moderate-to-severe chronic pain when a continuous opioid analgesic is needed for an extended period of time. If approved by the FDA, Zohydro would be the first extended-release (ER) novel formulation hydrocodone therapy without acetaminophen for the management of chronic pain.
Zogenix claims a chief advantage of Zohydro is that the drug avoids the potential for liver injury associated with the use of acetaminophen. Acetaminophen can cause liver damage when taken in high doses or over long periods of time.
An estimated 100 million people in the United States suffer from chronic pain. Chronic pain can be managed with both immediate-release and extended-release opioids. Currently marketed hydrocodone products are limited to immediate-release compounds that contain an analgesic combination ingredient, which is usually acetaminophen.
Acetaminophen, also known as paracetamol, may cause liver injury when used in high dosages, over long periods of time or in accidental overdoses due to multiple acetaminophen products being taken at once.
Zohydro uses Alkermes's (ALKS) Spheroidal Oral Drug Absorption System (SODAS) drug delivery technology "to enhance the release profile of hydrocodone to provide extended-release pain relief relative to existing immediate-release combination products." Alkermes earned a $1 million milestone payment from Zogenix when the company filed Zohydro's new drug application (NDA) in May 2012.
Liver Toxicity
Acetaminophen is the most widely used medication in the United States. Acetaminophen overdose is the most common drug overdose reported to poison control centers. Acetaminophen toxicity is the most common cause of liver toxicity in the United States, replacing viral hepatitis as the most common cause of acute hepatic failure.
Acetaminophen is the active ingredient in Johnson & Johnson's (JNJ) Tylenol, and is a component of many over-the-counter cold and analgesic medications and prescription combinations, including codeine-acetaminophen (Tylenol #3), oxycodone-acetaminophen (Percocet) and or Vicodin (acetaminophen and hydrocodone).
In 2005, University of Washington researchers found that 63% of all accidental acetaminophen overdoses used narcotic-containing compounds. Over 80% of patients in the study reported taking an acetaminophen or other analgesics for acute or chronic pain syndromes. Of the 178 acetaminophen overdose patients surveyed, 65% survived, 27% died without transplantation, and 8% underwent liver transplantation.
In 2011, the FDA acted by "asking" drug manufacturers to limit the strength of acetaminophen in prescription drug products to 325 mg per unit. In addition, all prescription drug products that contain acetaminophen must include a "Boxed Warning" highlighting the potential for severe liver injury and a warning emphasizing the potential for allergic reactions.
Over-the-counter products containing acetaminophen were already required to contain a label warning consumers about these drugs' potential for liver damage.
Although Zohydro would provide patients with an effective dose of hydrocodone without acetaminophen toxicity potential, the drug could also increase illicit opioid use which some authorities believe is a "public health crisis."
Abuse Concerns
Some experts believe that the nation's sharp increase in painkiller addiction stems from a loophole in the 1970 Controlled Substances Act that classified pure hydrocodone as a strictly controlled Schedule II drug. However, hydrocodone combination products, such as vicodin, which contains hydrocodone and acetaminophen, into the less strict Schedule III classification. As a Schedule III drug, combination drugs such as vicodin can be refilled as many as five times, while Schedule II drugs can be filled only once.
Since it is relatively easy to obtain, vicodin use and abuse has significantly increased. Some authorities estimate that nearly two million people in the United States are addicted to vicodin. Despite increasing attention on Vicodin's potential for abuse and addiction, physicians prescribed hydocodone combination drugs approximately 136 million times in 2008.
Drug abuse experts fear that the approval of Zohydro and other pure hydrocodone drugs in development could bring on a new "epidemic" similar to the widespread oxycontin abuse seen during the 1990s.
According to the U.S. Drug and Enforcement Agency (DEA), hydrocodone is the most prescribed opioid in the United States and is responsible for more drug abuse and diversion than any other licit or illicit opioid.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) believes overdoses involving prescription painkillers, a class of drugs that includes hydrocodone are a "public health epidemic."
A 2008 study conducted by the International Narcotics Control Board found the United States consumes 99% of the hydrocodone and 83% of the oxycodone use in the world.
The FDA's Office of Surveillance and Epidemiology estimated that for hydrocodone combination products, the abuse ratio was 14 emergency department visits per one million tablets dispensed. For oxycodone combination products, the ratio was 24 emergency department visits per one million tablets dispensed, but for pure oxycodone extended-release products, the ratio increased to 85 emergency department visits per one million tablets dispensed. FDA staff concluded that it is likely that similar patterns will be observed between combination hydrocodone products and the extended-release, single-ingredient hydrocodone product, Zohydro.
FDA staff advised that Zohydro may have a higher risk of abuse than other painkillers. Zohydro contains up to 50 mg of pure hydrocodone. Vicodin has only 5 mg and is combined with acetaminophen. Zohydro is a twice-daily pain reliever while combination products are used every four to six hours.
Opioid drug abusers prefer extended-release (ER) drugs over immediate-release (IR) formulations because ER versions have higher drug concentrations that can be manipulated for illicit drug use. Zogenix is an extended release product.
During the hearing, AADPAC members were noticeably moved by the testimony from parents whose children died from prescription pain reliever abuse and overdose. They pleaded with the committee to vote against recommending FDA approval for Zohydro.
AADPAC members said they could not recommend FDA approval for Zohydro for a number of reasons. Members were concerned that the drug could be abused because there were insufficient plans to limit the number of potential Zohyro customers. They also questioned why Zohydro was not formulated as a tamper resistant drug. There were also questions about the potential effectiveness of Zohydro's Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS).
Tamper Resistance Issues
Committee members were concerned that Zohydro was not tamper resistant and that illicit drug users could crush the pills in order to snort or inject them for a greater high.
Zogenix President and Chief Operating Officer Stephen Farr told the committee that the company was in the early stages of studying a tamper-resistant pill. Farr claimed Zogenix did not develop a tamper-resistant version of the drug because there were choking and reduced effectiveness issues.
Several other pharmaceutical companies are believed to be in the final stages of developing a tamper resistant version of hydrocodone.
Purdue Pharma, a private company that introduced OxyContin in 1995, received a patent applying extended-release technology to hydrocodone in May 2011 for a once-daily tamper resistant hydrocodone tablet.
Teva Pharmaceuticals (TEVA) is also anxious to get a tamper deterrent hydrocodone drug on the market. In May 2011, Teva purchased the biopharmaceutical company, Cephalon, for $6.8 billion. One of Cephalon's key assets was their late stage investigational "tamper deterrent" (TD) hydrocodone pill called "TD Hydrocodone." Teva believes sales from the drug could be worth as much as $500 million annually. Teva executives have stated the drug could be on the market in the "relatively near future," hoping that revenue from TD Hydrocodone can replace the sales lost when the company's patent on Copaxone, Teva's mega-selling multiple sclerosis drug, expires in 2014. TD Hydrocodone is in the "final stage of testing."
The Danish pharmaceutical firm, Egalet Ltd., is also developing a tamper resistant instant release hydrocodone product, EGP-121, and an extended release hydrocodone pill EGP-113. Egalet also has tamper resistant morphine, oxycodone, and hydromorphone pills in its late stage clinical pipeline. The company could have their pure hydrocone drug on the market as soon as 2015.
Acura Pharmaceuticals(ACUR) has patented Aversion Technology in an attempt to decrease the abuse of common oral opioid analgesics. Remoxy (oxycodone) is being developed in a strateguc alliance between Pfizer (PFE) and Pain Therapeutics (PTIE). Nektar Therapeutics (NKTR) also has tamper resistant opioids in development.
REMS
On July 9, 2012, the FDA approved a standard Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) for extended-release (ER) and long-acting (LA) opioids, The FDA's REMS is part of a federal initiative to address the prescription drug abuse, misuse, and overdose epidemic. The FDA's REMS introduces new safety measures designed to reduce risks and improve the safe use of ER/LA opioids, while ensuring access to needed medications for patients in pain.
The new ER/LA opioid REMS will affect more than 20 companies that manufacture opioid analgesics. Under the new REMS, companies will be required to make education programs available to prescribers based on an FDA Blueprint.
Key components of the ER/LA opioid analgesics REMS include:
Training for prescribers, based on an FDA Blueprint, will include information on weighing the risks and benefits of opioid therapy, choosing patients appropriately, managing and monitoring patients, and counseling patients on the safe use of these drugs. These educational programs will also include information on how to recognize opioid misuse, abuse, and addiction, as well as general and specific drug information for ER/LA opioid analgesics.
Updated Medication Guide and patient counseling documents must contain consumer-friendly information on the safe use, storage and disposal of ER/ LA opioid analgesics.
Assessment/auditing. Companies will be expected to achieve certain FDA-established goals for the percentage of prescribers of ER/ LA opioids who complete the training, as well as assess prescribers' understanding of important risk information over time. The assessments also cover whether the REMS is adversely affecting patient access to necessary pain medications, which manufacturers must report to FDA as part of periodic required assessments.
The FDA expects the first continuing education activities under the REMS will be offered to prescribers by March 1, 2013.
While there is no mandatory requirement that prescribers take the training and no precondition to prescribing ER/LA opioids to patients, the Obama Administration has endorsed a mandatory training program on responsible opioid prescribing practices in April 2011 as part of its comprehensive plan to address the epidemic of prescription drug abuse. The program, which would be linked to DEA registration by providers, would require legislative changes that are being pursued by the White House.
Zogenix claimed that they submitted a REMS that is consistent with current FDA and industry-wide guidelines for extended-release opioid products.
"We have clearly put a lot of time and effort into considering risk mitigation initiatives for the Zohydro ER product. The good news is that you know that there is now a standard REMS that was being recently introduced for all extended release opioid products and clearly our product will fit in line with that. We will become members of the REMS program companies and that we will be able to introduce education and other activities that's in the REMS for hydrocodone, I think for the first time," Zogenix President and COO Stephen Farr stated during the company's Third Quarter 2012 earnings call. "In addition to the REMS, we are looking at other activities working with experts in the field to really supplement the REMS with what we think will be meaningful activities around education as well as surveillance in order to really try and pick up any signals of misuse and abuse of the product early so that we can react to it. So we will be presenting a lot of that information at the advisory committee."
Zogenix promised that their Zohydro sales force would receive training to recognize signs of inappropriate prescribing and would not interact with physicians engaging in this behavior.
Financials
On November 8, 2012 Zogenix reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2012.
Net product revenues for the third quarter 2012 were $8.5 million, compared to $8.8 million in the third quarter 2011. During the third quarter 2011, total revenues of $10.4 million also included $1.6 million in contract revenue related to the company's previous co-promotion agreement with Astellas Pharma (ALPMF) which ended March 31, 2012.
Cost of sales for the third quarter 2012 was $4.2 million, compared to $5.5 million in the third quarter 2011. Product gross margin was 50% in the third quarter 2012, compared to 38% in the third quarter 2011. This improvement in gross product margin is primarily due to a decrease in excess capacity charges.
Royalty expense for the third quarter 2012 was $325,000, compared to $343,000 in the third quarter 2011, reflecting the impact of decreased net product revenue.
Research and development expenses for the third quarter 2012 were $3.7 million, representing a 64% decrease from $10.1 million in the third quarter 2011. The decrease in research and development expenses was the result of lower costs associated with the Phase 3 clinical trials for Zohydro ER, which were completed in 2011. The third quarter 2011 also included a one-time $2.25 million up-front license payment to Durect made in connection with the execution of the Relday development and license agreement and a $750,000 milestone payment to Alkermes made in connection with the completion of the Phase 3 study (801) for Zohydro ER.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the third quarter 2012 were $10.9 million, representing a 26% decrease from $14.7 million in the third quarter 2011. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily the result of a $3.7 million decrease in service fees to Astellas due to the termination of the co-promotion agreement on March 31, 2012 and a decrease in advertising and promotional expenses. This was partially offset by an increase in product sampling costs and field sales force costs.
Other expenses for the third quarter 2012 were $8.6 million, which includes a $3.6 million non-cash mark to market adjustment in the fair value of the company's outstanding warrants. Also included are non-recurring costs associated with repayment of the company's debt obligations and issuance of warrants in its July 2012 public equity offering.
Net loss for the third quarter 2012 was $19.3 million, or $0.21 per share, compared to a net loss of $22.0 million, or $0.59 per share, for the third quarter 2011. The weighted average shares outstanding were 90,370,000 for the third quarter 2012. Non-GAAP net loss adjusted for certain non-cash or non-recurring items for the third quarter 2012 was $0.16 per share as detailed in the non-GAAP financial results table included in this release.
Cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2012, were $49.6 million. During the third quarter 2012, Zogenix raised net proceeds of $65.4 million in an equity offering and repaid $21.2 million of debt obligations to Oxford Finance LLC and Silicon Valley Bank.
Ann Rhoads, chief financial officer of Zogenix, commented, "We have reduced our loss from operations by nearly half as compared to the third quarter of 2011. Following the successful equity raise and debt repayment early in this quarter, we are advancing our development programs while continuing to invest in the growth of our commercial product, Sumavel DosePro, with the support of our new co-promotion partner."
In November 2012, Zogenix announced that the company had refined its full year 2012 financial guidance. The company now believes that total revenue to be approximately $45.5 million, at the low end of the previous guidance range. Net product revenue is expected to be approximately $37 million, at the low end of the previous guidance range due to the disruption in sales focus during the co-promotion transition and prescription growth expected to be approximately 20% over 2011. Product gross margin are expected to be approximately 48% - 49%, towards the high end of the previous guidance range. Research and development expenses are expected to be approximately $22 million, at the high end of the previous guidance range primarily due to expenses associated with preparing for the FDA Advisory Committee meeting for Zohydro ER. Selling, general and administrative expenses are expected to be approximately $50 million, at the high end of the previous guidance range. Zogenix expects the net interest expense to be approximately $10 million for 2012, unchanged from the previous guidance, reflecting the payoff of the debt obligation with Oxford Finance LLC and Silicon Valley Bank
Conclusion: Buy
As a result of the FDA action, Oppenheimer downgraded Zogenix to "Perform" from "Outperform" and removed its $3 price target. The firm predicted that Zogenix would not receive FDA approval on March 1, 2013, and approval could be delayed at least one year. Stifel Nicolaus downgraded the stock to "Buy" from "Hold," but Wells Fargo & Co. reaffirmed their "Outperform" rating on Zogenix. The firm predicts that FDA approval of Zohydro is a probable outcome and recommends buying shares of Zogenix on any weakness after the negative panel vote.
I think the odds of the FDA approving Zohydro in March 2013 are highly unlikely, but there is more to Zogenix than Zohydro. At current share prices under $1.20, I think Zogenix is undervalued as it is now selling at nearly one-third of its 52 week high share price of $3.30.
Zogenix's first commercial product, Sumavel DosePro (sumatriptan injection) Needle-free Delivery System, was launched in January 2010 for the acute treatment of migraine and cluster headache. Sumavel DosePro is the first and only needle-free delivery system for subcutaneous sumatriptan for the treatment of acute migraine and cluster headache.
In June 2012, Zogenix and Mallinckrodt LLC, the pharmaceuticals business of Covidien (COV), announced that the two companies had entered into a co-promotion agreement for Sumavel DosePro.
Under terms of the agreement, Mallinckrodt's 95 salesperson strong U.S. sales force will sell Sumavel DosePro to its customer base of prescribers. Zogenix will continue to record all product revenues and Mallinckrodt will be compensated based on apercentage of net sales from prescriptions generated by Mallinckrodt. The agreement runs through June 30, 2014, and can be extended. Covidien's Pharmaceuticals business is the largest U.S. supplier of opioid pain medications and among the top 10 generic pharmaceuticals manufacturers in the United States.
For the third quarter of 2012, Sumavel DosePro generated $8.5 million net product revenue, a 5% increase over the second quarter 2012, and maintained consistent refill rate for SUMAVEL DosePro at 43% from the second quarter 2012.
Decision Resources, a research and advisory firms for pharmaceutical and healthcare issues, finds that Zogenix/Astellas Pharma/Desitin Pharmaceuticals' needle-free Sumavel DosePro, which launched earlier this month in the United States, and MAP Pharmaceuticals' (MAPP) orally-inhaled Levadex will earn approximately $400 million in combined sales by 2018 in the migraine drug market.
Zogenix's second DosePro investigational product candidate, Relday, is a proprietary, long-acting injectable formulation of risperidone for the treatment of schizophrenia. In May 2012, Zogenix submitted an Investigational New Drug Application for Relday. A Phase 1 study completion is expected by end of 2012.
The company's validated, proprietary DosePro needle-free technology platform has a broad range of applications, and can be a solution for self administration of subcutaneous pharmaceuticals and biologics.
The AADPAC provides FDA with independent expert advice and recommendations. The FDA usually agrees with AADAC decisions, but the final decision regarding approval of a medication is made by FDA.
In June 2009, a different FDA advisory panel recommended that the agency ban Vicodin (hydrocodone and acetaminophen) and Percocet (oxycodone and acetaminophen). The FDA has yet to do so. The FDA has also refused to approve other opioids such as Pfizer's and Pain Therapeutics' Remoxy formulated with Durect's (DRRX) ORADUR technology, and Abbott Laboratories' (ABT) Vicodin CR.
Those favoring FDA approval for Zohydro argue that it is a safe and effective drug that works without the potential for liver damage. Those opposing the approval of the drug contend Zohydro is likely to produce the next wave of substance abuse. Do the benefits of allowing Zohydro on the market outweigh the risks? I think the FDA is likely to say "no."

Is Zogenix A Buy After FDA Panel Says 'No' To Zohydro?
December 14, 2012 | 10 comments | about: ZGNX, includes: ABT, ACUR, ALKS, COV, DRRX, JNJ, MAPP, NKTR, PTIE, TEVA
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours. (More...)
Zogenix Inc., (ZGNX) is the first pharmaceutical company to face a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) panel seeking approval for pure hydrocodone, a painkilling drug that can be 10 times stronger than Vicodin.
Hydrocodone was first synthesized in Germany in 1920 and approved by the FDA in 1943. Hydrocodone is a semi-synthetic opioid derived from either codeine or thebaine. Hydrocodone compounded with acetaminophen produced the popular drug, Vicodin. Due to concerns about liver damage from prolonged use of acetaminophen at high doses, four pharmaceutical companies are developing extended-release versions of pure hydrocodone.
On December 10, 2012, shares of Zogenix sank to an all-time low after the FDA's Anesthetic and Analgesic Drug Products Advisory Committee ((AADPAC)) voted 2 to 11 (with one abstention) against the approval of Zohydro, the company's hydrocodone-based chronic pain reliever.
Zohydro ER
Zohydro ER (hydrocodone bitartrate extended-release capsules) is an extended-release formulation of hydrocodone without acetaminophen, formulated for the management of moderate-to-severe chronic pain when a continuous opioid analgesic is needed for an extended period of time. If approved by the FDA, Zohydro would be the first extended-release (ER) novel formulation hydrocodone therapy without acetaminophen for the management of chronic pain.
Zogenix claims a chief advantage of Zohydro is that the drug avoids the potential for liver injury associated with the use of acetaminophen. Acetaminophen can cause liver damage when taken in high doses or over long periods of time.
An estimated 100 million people in the United States suffer from chronic pain. Chronic pain can be managed with both immediate-release and extended-release opioids. Currently marketed hydrocodone products are limited to immediate-release compounds that contain an analgesic combination ingredient, which is usually acetaminophen.
Acetaminophen, also known as paracetamol, may cause liver injury when used in high dosages, over long periods of time or in accidental overdoses due to multiple acetaminophen products being taken at once.
Zohydro uses Alkermes's (ALKS) Spheroidal Oral Drug Absorption System (SODAS) drug delivery technology "to enhance the release profile of hydrocodone to provide extended-release pain relief relative to existing immediate-release combination products." Alkermes earned a $1 million milestone payment from Zogenix when the company filed Zohydro's new drug application (NDA) in May 2012.
Liver Toxicity
Acetaminophen is the most widely used medication in the United States. Acetaminophen overdose is the most common drug overdose reported to poison control centers. Acetaminophen toxicity is the most common cause of liver toxicity in the United States, replacing viral hepatitis as the most common cause of acute hepatic failure.
Acetaminophen is the active ingredient in Johnson & Johnson's (JNJ) Tylenol, and is a component of many over-the-counter cold and analgesic medications and prescription combinations, including codeine-acetaminophen (Tylenol #3), oxycodone-acetaminophen (Percocet) and or Vicodin (acetaminophen and hydrocodone).
In 2005, University of Washington researchers found that 63% of all accidental acetaminophen overdoses used narcotic-containing compounds. Over 80% of patients in the study reported taking an acetaminophen or other analgesics for acute or chronic pain syndromes. Of the 178 acetaminophen overdose patients surveyed, 65% survived, 27% died without transplantation, and 8% underwent liver transplantation.
In 2011, the FDA acted by "asking" drug manufacturers to limit the strength of acetaminophen in prescription drug products to 325 mg per unit. In addition, all prescription drug products that contain acetaminophen must include a "Boxed Warning" highlighting the potential for severe liver injury and a warning emphasizing the potential for allergic reactions.
Over-the-counter products containing acetaminophen were already required to contain a label warning consumers about these drugs' potential for liver damage.
Although Zohydro would provide patients with an effective dose of hydrocodone without acetaminophen toxicity potential, the drug could also increase illicit opioid use which some authorities believe is a "public health crisis."
Abuse Concerns
Some experts believe that the nation's sharp increase in painkiller addiction stems from a loophole in the 1970 Controlled Substances Act that classified pure hydrocodone as a strictly controlled Schedule II drug. However, hydrocodone combination products, such as vicodin, which contains hydrocodone and acetaminophen, into the less strict Schedule III classification. As a Schedule III drug, combination drugs such as vicodin can be refilled as many as five times, while Schedule II drugs can be filled only once.
Since it is relatively easy to obtain, vicodin use and abuse has significantly increased. Some authorities estimate that nearly two million people in the United States are addicted to vicodin. Despite increasing attention on Vicodin's potential for abuse and addiction, physicians prescribed hydocodone combination drugs approximately 136 million times in 2008.
Drug abuse experts fear that the approval of Zohydro and other pure hydrocodone drugs in development could bring on a new "epidemic" similar to the widespread oxycontin abuse seen during the 1990s.
According to the U.S. Drug and Enforcement Agency (DEA), hydrocodone is the most prescribed opioid in the United States and is responsible for more drug abuse and diversion than any other licit or illicit opioid.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) believes overdoses involving prescription painkillers, a class of drugs that includes hydrocodone are a "public health epidemic."
A 2008 study conducted by the International Narcotics Control Board found the United States consumes 99% of the hydrocodone and 83% of the oxycodone use in the world.
The FDA's Office of Surveillance and Epidemiology estimated that for hydrocodone combination products, the abuse ratio was 14 emergency department visits per one million tablets dispensed. For oxycodone combination products, the ratio was 24 emergency department visits per one million tablets dispensed, but for pure oxycodone extended-release products, the ratio increased to 85 emergency department visits per one million tablets dispensed. FDA staff concluded that it is likely that similar patterns will be observed between combination hydrocodone products and the extended-release, single-ingredient hydrocodone product, Zohydro.
FDA staff advised that Zohydro may have a higher risk of abuse than other painkillers. Zohydro contains up to 50 mg of pure hydrocodone. Vicodin has only 5 mg and is combined with acetaminophen. Zohydro is a twice-daily pain reliever while combination products are used every four to six hours.
Opioid drug abusers prefer extended-release (ER) drugs over immediate-release (IR) formulations because ER versions have higher drug concentrations that can be manipulated for illicit drug use. Zogenix is an extended release product.
During the hearing, AADPAC members were noticeably moved by the testimony from parents whose children died from prescription pain reliever abuse and overdose. They pleaded with the committee to vote against recommending FDA approval for Zohydro.
AADPAC members said they could not recommend FDA approval for Zohydro for a number of reasons. Members were concerned that the drug could be abused because there were insufficient plans to limit the number of potential Zohyro customers. They also questioned why Zohydro was not formulated as a tamper resistant drug. There were also questions about the potential effectiveness of Zohydro's Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS).
Tamper Resistance Issues
Committee members were concerned that Zohydro was not tamper resistant and that illicit drug users could crush the pills in order to snort or inject them for a greater high.
Zogenix President and Chief Operating Officer Stephen Farr told the committee that the company was in the early stages of studying a tamper-resistant pill. Farr claimed Zogenix did not develop a tamper-resistant version of the drug because there were choking and reduced effectiveness issues.
Several other pharmaceutical companies are believed to be in the final stages of developing a tamper resistant version of hydrocodone.
Purdue Pharma, a private company that introduced OxyContin in 1995, received a patent applying extended-release technology to hydrocodone in May 2011 for a once-daily tamper resistant hydrocodone tablet.
Teva Pharmaceuticals (TEVA) is also anxious to get a tamper deterrent hydrocodone drug on the market. In May 2011, Teva purchased the biopharmaceutical company, Cephalon, for $6.8 billion. One of Cephalon's key assets was their late stage investigational "tamper deterrent" (TD) hydrocodone pill called "TD Hydrocodone." Teva believes sales from the drug could be worth as much as $500 million annually. Teva executives have stated the drug could be on the market in the "relatively near future," hoping that revenue from TD Hydrocodone can replace the sales lost when the company's patent on Copaxone, Teva's mega-selling multiple sclerosis drug, expires in 2014. TD Hydrocodone is in the "final stage of testing."
The Danish pharmaceutical firm, Egalet Ltd., is also developing a tamper resistant instant release hydrocodone product, EGP-121, and an extended release hydrocodone pill EGP-113. Egalet also has tamper resistant morphine, oxycodone, and hydromorphone pills in its late stage clinical pipeline. The company could have their pure hydrocone drug on the market as soon as 2015.
Acura Pharmaceuticals(ACUR) has patented Aversion Technology in an attempt to decrease the abuse of common oral opioid analgesics. Remoxy (oxycodone) is being developed in a strateguc alliance between Pfizer (PFE) and Pain Therapeutics (PTIE). Nektar Therapeutics (NKTR) also has tamper resistant opioids in development.
REMS
On July 9, 2012, the FDA approved a standard Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) for extended-release (ER) and long-acting (LA) opioids, The FDA's REMS is part of a federal initiative to address the prescription drug abuse, misuse, and overdose epidemic. The FDA's REMS introduces new safety measures designed to reduce risks and improve the safe use of ER/LA opioids, while ensuring access to needed medications for patients in pain.
The new ER/LA opioid REMS will affect more than 20 companies that manufacture opioid analgesics. Under the new REMS, companies will be required to make education programs available to prescribers based on an FDA Blueprint.
Key components of the ER/LA opioid analgesics REMS include:
Training for prescribers, based on an FDA Blueprint, will include information on weighing the risks and benefits of opioid therapy, choosing patients appropriately, managing and monitoring patients, and counseling patients on the safe use of these drugs. These educational programs will also include information on how to recognize opioid misuse, abuse, and addiction, as well as general and specific drug information for ER/LA opioid analgesics.
Updated Medication Guide and patient counseling documents must contain consumer-friendly information on the safe use, storage and disposal of ER/ LA opioid analgesics.
Assessment/auditing. Companies will be expected to achieve certain FDA-established goals for the percentage of prescribers of ER/ LA opioids who complete the training, as well as assess prescribers' understanding of important risk information over time. The assessments also cover whether the REMS is adversely affecting patient access to necessary pain medications, which manufacturers must report to FDA as part of periodic required assessments.
The FDA expects the first continuing education activities under the REMS will be offered to prescribers by March 1, 2013.
While there is no mandatory requirement that prescribers take the training and no precondition to prescribing ER/LA opioids to patients, the Obama Administration has endorsed a mandatory training program on responsible opioid prescribing practices in April 2011 as part of its comprehensive plan to address the epidemic of prescription drug abuse. The program, which would be linked to DEA registration by providers, would require legislative changes that are being pursued by the White House.
Zogenix claimed that they submitted a REMS that is consistent with current FDA and industry-wide guidelines for extended-release opioid products.
"We have clearly put a lot of time and effort into considering risk mitigation initiatives for the Zohydro ER product. The good news is that you know that there is now a standard REMS that was being recently introduced for all extended release opioid products and clearly our product will fit in line with that. We will become members of the REMS program companies and that we will be able to introduce education and other activities that's in the REMS for hydrocodone, I think for the first time," Zogenix President and COO Stephen Farr stated during the company's Third Quarter 2012 earnings call. "In addition to the REMS, we are looking at other activities working with experts in the field to really supplement the REMS with what we think will be meaningful activities around education as well as surveillance in order to really try and pick up any signals of misuse and abuse of the product early so that we can react to it. So we will be presenting a lot of that information at the advisory committee."
Zogenix promised that their Zohydro sales force would receive training to recognize signs of inappropriate prescribing and would not interact with physicians engaging in this behavior.
Financials
On November 8, 2012 Zogenix reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2012.
Net product revenues for the third quarter 2012 were $8.5 million, compared to $8.8 million in the third quarter 2011. During the third quarter 2011, total revenues of $10.4 million also included $1.6 million in contract revenue related to the company's previous co-promotion agreement with Astellas Pharma (ALPMF) which ended March 31, 2012.
Cost of sales for the third quarter 2012 was $4.2 million, compared to $5.5 million in the third quarter 2011. Product gross margin was 50% in the third quarter 2012, compared to 38% in the third quarter 2011. This improvement in gross product margin is primarily due to a decrease in excess capacity charges.
Royalty expense for the third quarter 2012 was $325,000, compared to $343,000 in the third quarter 2011, reflecting the impact of decreased net product revenue.
Research and development expenses for the third quarter 2012 were $3.7 million, representing a 64% decrease from $10.1 million in the third quarter 2011. The decrease in research and development expenses was the result of lower costs associated with the Phase 3 clinical trials for Zohydro ER, which were completed in 2011. The third quarter 2011 also included a one-time $2.25 million up-front license payment to Durect made in connection with the execution of the Relday development and license agreement and a $750,000 milestone payment to Alkermes made in connection with the completion of the Phase 3 study (801) for Zohydro ER.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the third quarter 2012 were $10.9 million, representing a 26% decrease from $14.7 million in the third quarter 2011. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily the result of a $3.7 million decrease in service fees to Astellas due to the termination of the co-promotion agreement on March 31, 2012 and a decrease in advertising and promotional expenses. This was partially offset by an increase in product sampling costs and field sales force costs.

3 Biotech Stocks To Consider In The Wake Of Recent Developments
December 19, 2012 | 2 comments | includes: IDRA, OREX, ZGNX
Disclosure: I am long OREX, ZGNX. (More...)
When it comes to the biotech sector, many stocks that trade around $5/share are considered to be very speculative. As a result, I wanted to focus on companies that could benefit from developments within their specific markets. In this article I've chosen three companies that have met the follow criteria:
Each company must trade below $10/share
Each company must have a Market Cap under $450 million
Each company must have announced significant developments in the last 24 hours
Idera Pharmaceuticals (IDRA) which is based in Cambridge, Massachusetts operates as "a clinical stage biotechnology company that engages in the discovery and development of novel synthetic DNA- and RNA- based drug candidates. It is developing drug candidates designed to modulate immune responses mediated through Toll-like Receptors (TLRs); and evaluating gene silencing oligonucleotides (GSOs), which inhibit the production of disease-associated proteins by targeting RNA". (Yahoo! Finance)
From a fundamental perspective, shares of IDRA currently carry a market cap of $27 million, have traded down 17.17% since July 1st and are currently trading at an 18.98% premium to their 50 DMA and in-line with their 200 DMA.

On Wednesday December 19th it was announced that its lead drug candidate IMO-3100, a treatment for moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis, was more effective than a placebo in a Phase IIa clinical trial of two dose levels. The company thinks the trial data for the injectable treatment provides clinical proof-of-concept for the mechanism that suppresses certain factors that underlie the skin disorder. If Idera can continue to demonstrate such significant developments and meet certain endpoint requirements there's no reason why shares shouldn't be trading at much higher levels.
Zogenix Pharmaceuticals (ZGNX) which is based in San Diego, California operates as "a pharmaceutical company, engages in the development and commercialization of products for the treatment of central nervous system disorders and pain. Its commercial product includes Sumavel DosePro (sumatriptan injection), a delivery system that offers needle-free subcutaneous administration of sumatriptan for the acute treatment of migraine and cluster headache". (Yahoo! Finance)
From a fundamental perspective, shares of ZGNX currently carry a market cap of $135 million, have traded down 47.06% since July 1st and are currently trading at a 40.35% discount to their 50 DMA and at a 43.04% discount to their 200 DMA.

On Tuesday December 18th it was announced that the FDA has scheduled two days of hearings February 7-8 after receiving "comments, petitions, and informal inquiries concerning the extent to which opioid drugs should be used in the treatment of pain." Hydrocodone is a semi-synthetic opioid derived from either codeine or thebaine. Such a forum will allow Zogenix to thoroughly explain how and why such drugs are needed especially in the concentration of central nervous system disorders. Although a non-FDA panel shot down ZGNX's Zohydro, which is a hydrocodone pill for chronic pain, this may give them a better chance to explain the positive catalysts associated with the drug.
Orexigen Therapeutics (OREX) which is based in La Jolla, California operates as "a biopharmaceutical company, focuses on the development of pharmaceutical product candidates for the treatment of obesity. Its lead combination product candidates include Contrave, which has completed Phase III clinical trials; and Empatic that has completed phase II clinical trials for the treatment of obesity". (Yahoo! Finance)
Shares of OREX currently carry a market cap of $435 million, have traded up just 0.85% since July 1st and are currently trading at a 10.45% premium to their 50 DMA and at a 5.79% premium to their 200 DMA.

On December 18th it was announced that the company has completed the screening of new patients for its Light Study trial to evaluate its obesity drug Contrave. There are about 9,000 patients who will be randomized in the study within the course of the next few weeks. OREX also anticipates that it will be resubmitting the New Drug Application for its obesity drug Contrave as well as conducting the interim analysis during the first half of 2013, with the drug's potential approval coming as early as fourth quarter 2013. If such approval by the FDA occurs share could trade much higher than their current price of $5.36/share.
Final Analysis
Are there any negative catalysts potential investors should consider before establishing a position in either of the three companies? As is the case with any biotech company, potential investors need to keep in mind some of the negative catalysts that go hand-in-hand with Idera Pharmaceuticals, Zogenix Pharmaceuticals and Orexigen Therapeutics. On one hand, any negative indication by the FDA with regard to Idera's IMO-3100, Zogenix's Zohydro or Orixigen'ss Contrave could result in the sell-off of either stock. On the other hand, weaker than expected earnings at any point over the course of the next 12-18 months could also send shares of these companies down an unfavorable path.
For potential investors looking to establish a position in Idera, Zogenix or Orexigen, I'd take a closer look at each company and keep in mind the primary positive and negative catalysts moving forward. Given the fact that both companies are making considerable strides, I'd look to establish a small to medium position at current levels and add to that position once future developments are announced.
3 Biotech Stocks To Consider In The Wake Of Recent Developments
December 19, 2012 | 2 comments | includes: IDRA, OREX, ZGNX
Disclosure: I am long OREX, ZGNX. (More...)
When it comes to the biotech sector, many stocks that trade around $5/share are considered to be very speculative. As a result, I wanted to focus on companies that could benefit from developments within their specific markets. In this article I've chosen three companies that have met the follow criteria:
Each company must trade below $10/share
Each company must have a Market Cap under $450 million
Each company must have announced significant developments in the last 24 hours

fortuna,
worauf spekulierst du hier?
Zulassung entgegen dem Votum des FDA advisory committee (nicht eines "non-FDA" panel wie im Artikel oben suggeriert)? wohl recht unwahrscheinlich.
Neue Aspekt oder Argumente beim Hearing im Feb/2012?
technische Reaktion?
Wert der (quasi nicht vorhandenen) Rest-Pipeline? Sumavel-umsätze sind ja auch nicht gerade hoch (welche Bewertung wäre ohne Zohydro gerechtfertigt?).

Meeting to consider if pain drugs should come with dose limits

When an FDA expert panel recommended against a stronger form of hydrocodone from Zogenix ($ZGNX) this month, it said it was best if the FDA would first consider requiring ways to discourage abuse of opioids. The agency intends to do just that.
The FDA will hold a two-day meeting in February to take a look at "scientific evidence, such as study data or peer-reviewed analyses, on issues pertaining to the use of opioid drugs in the treatment of chronic pain." As Regulatory Focus points out, that will encompass questions such as whether pain drugs should be prescribed for limited durations, whether those durations should be different for various kinds of pain, say back pain versus cancer pain, and whether there should be a maximum daily dose.
At $9 billion a year, the prescription pain drug market can be quite lucrative, but the use, and abuse, of pain meds means the category is fraught with strong opinions. Purdue Pharma reworked its OxyContin formula to make the powerful opioid pills more difficult to crush or dissolve by addicts. Endo Pharmaceuticals ($ENDP) did something similar with its Opana painkiller. Congress has been considering whether to give the FDA authority to yank regulatory approval for generic drugs that aren't redesigned with such safety features. The patents are set to expire on both of those drugs next year, and the companies see the new formulations as a potential patent protector. Endo recently sued the FDA to have it classify its original formulation unsafe and require generics makers to go the tamper-resistant route, a move that would delay competition.

DURECT Corp announced that its licensee, Zogenix Inc, reported positive single-dose pharmacokinetic (PK) results from the Phase 1 clinical trial of Relday, an investigational candidate of a , once-monthly subcutaneous formulation of risperidone for the treatment of schizophrenia. According to Zogenix, adverse events in the Phase 1 trial in patients diagnosed with schizophrenia were generally mild to moderate and consistent with other risperidone products. The Phase 1 clinical trial for Relday was conducted as a single-center, open-label, safety and PK trial of 30 patients with chronic, stable schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder. Per Zogenix, based on the favorable safety and PK profile demonstrated with the 25 mg and 50 mg once-monthly doses tested in the Phase 1 trial, Zogenix has extended the study to include a 100 mg dose of the same formulation. The addition of this dose arm to the study will enable evaluation of dose proportionality across the full dose range that would be anticipated to be used in clinical practice. Zogenix expects to complete the extension of the Phase 1 clinical trial during the second quarter of 2013.

SAN DIEGO, Jan. 7, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Zogenix, Inc. (ZGNX), a pharmaceutical company commercializing and developing products for the treatment of central nervous system disorders and pain, announced today preliminary unaudited gross product sales for the quarter ended December 31, 2012. Zogenix expects to report fourth quarter 2012 gross product sales of approximately $13.5 million on 145,200 units shipped, with unit volume up approximately 9% sequentially from third quarter 2012 and 26% from fourth quarter 2011.
For the full year 2012, Zogenix announced preliminary unaudited net product revenue of approximately $36 million, up approximately 18% over 2011 and slightly below previously issued guidance of $37 million for 2012.
Preliminary unaudited cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2012 were approximately $41.2 million.
Roger Hawley, chief executive officer of Zogenix, stated, "In 2012 we continued to drive SUMAVEL DosePro prescription growth and added a new co-promotion partner that provides incremental growth potential in 2013 and beyond. We expect our net product revenue for the year to be slightly below our guidance primarily due to the impact from Hurricane Sandy in the Northeast region. However, we did achieve 9% unit volume growth in the fourth quarter and believe we are well positioned to continue expanding utilization of SUMAVEL DosePro as an important attack specific treatment choice for migraine patients."
Mr. Hawley added, "During the year we also made good progress with our new product initiatives. The December 7th FDA Advisory Committee meeting resulted in a negative vote for Zohydro ER, but we remain engaged with the FDA in our ongoing efforts to gain approval. We remain confident in the benefit/risk balance of Zohydro ER as a new treatment option that addresses unmet medical needs for patients suffering with chronic pain. Separately, we recently announced positive single-dose pharmacokinetic (PK) results from our Phase 1 clinical trial for Relday and the extension of the study to include a 100 mg dose arm, which results we believe will accelerate the development timeline and partnering activities for this new potential treatment option for the long-acting antipsychotic market."
The preliminary estimates discussed above are subject to the completion of financial closing procedures, including final adjustment of allowances for sales returns and discounts, and other developments that may arise between now and the time the financial results for the fourth quarter are finalized, as well as the completion of the audit of the 2012 financial statements. Therefore, actual results may differ materially from these estimates.In addition, the above estimates do not present all information necessary for an understanding of Zogenix's financial condition as of December 31, 2012. Zogenix expects to report full financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2012 in early March 2013.
