Heron upcoming events with earnings

  Labelling Discussions with the FDA are Underway for HTX-011; Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) Goal Date is May 12, 2021 

Heron Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: HRTX), a commercial-stage biotechnology company focused on improving the lives of patients by developing best-in-class treatments to address some of the most important unmet patient needs, today announced financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and highlighted recent corporate updates.

Recent Corporate Updates

Acute Care Franchise

  • New Drug Application Resubmission for HTX-011 Under Review: The New Drug Application (NDA) resubmission for HTX-011, an investigational agent for the management of postoperative pain, submitted November 12, 2020 to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), continues under review. The FDA set a PDUFA goal date of May 12, 2021.

  • Initiation of Expanded Phase 2 Clinical Study of HTX-034 for the Treatment of Postoperative Pain: In March 2021, Heron initiated the expanded Phase 2 clinical study in patients undergoing bunionectomy with HTX-034, Heron's next-generation product for the treatment of postoperative pain.

  • NDA for HTX-019 Planned in Late 2021 for Prevention of PONV in Adults: In the Phase 1 bioequivalence study, HTX-019 32 mg as a 30-second intravenous (IV) injection was bioequivalent to oral aprepitant 40 mg, which is approved for the prevention of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). A 505(b)(2) NDA for HTX-019 for PONV in adults is planned for late 2021.

Oncology Care Franchise

  • 2021 Net Product Sales: For the three months ended March 31, 2021, oncology care franchise net product sales were $20.0 million, compared to $25.4 million for the same period in 2020. The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic reduced cancer screening procedures and new patient treatment starts in 2020 resulting in fewer clinic anti-emetic administrations during the first quarter of 2021 compared to the prior year and last quarter. Heron is assisting Community Oncology Alliance with its campaign to get patients back into screening. With the greater availability of COVID-19 vaccines and the declining rates of infection, Heron believes that the number of patients receiving cancer treatment will begin to return to normal levels.

  • Full-Year 2021 Net Product Sales Guidance: Heron expects full-year 2021 net product sales for the oncology care franchise of $130 million to $145 million.

"We have no outstanding questions on the pending NDA and are currently in labelling discussions with the FDA, as we prepare for the anticipated commercial launch of HTX-011 in the U.S.," said Barry Quart, Pharm.D., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Heron. "For the oncology care franchise, we expect the market to pick up in the second quarter and we recently signed a large, multi-year contract for CINVANTI that will help increase net product sales throughout 2021."
