We are building on our success in sleep/wake with a strategy focused on continuous innovation, patient impact, and long-term value creation for our shareholders, and, if successful, our current pipeline is poised to deliver over $3 billion in net revenue going forward,\" said Jeffrey M. Dayno, M.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Harmony Biosciences. \"We have been building a leading CNS biotech company and are committed to addressing unmet medical needs for people living with CNS disorders that have few or no treatment options and, when we deliver on this promise to patients, we have the potential to deliver significant value to our shareholders as well.\"\nKey Franchise Highlights:\nSleep/Wake: Extending Leadership Position\nWAKIX:\n\nNet Sales for the quarter were $186.0M; with these quarterly sales, WAKIX surpassed $2B in cumulative net revenue in less than five years on the market\nThe average number of patients on WAKIX increased by approximately 250 patients sequentially to approximately 6,800 for the quarter ended September 30, 2024\n\nPitolisant in Idiopathic Hypersomnia (IH): \n\nNew data from the Long-Term Extension study demonstrate robust and sustained efficacy of pitolisant in patients with idiopathic hypersomnia\n\nMean improvement in Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) was ~9 points from baseline out beyond one year, with the majority of patients in the normal range as measured by the ESS\nSustained efficacy was also observed on the Idiopathic Hypersomnia Severity Scale (IHSS) and Sleep Inertia Questionnaire (SIQ) beyond one year\n\nData supports strong benefit/risk proposition; on track to submit sNDA in Q4 2024\n\nPitolisant-HD (high dose) program: \n\nPitolisant-HD is an enhanced formulation of pitolisant designed with the following attributes:\n\nA higher dose with an optimized pharmacokinetic profile to drive greater efficacy in EDS and cataplexy\nTargeting a unique indication for fatigue in narcolepsy\nA gastro-resistant coating with no need for a titration dose\n\nPreliminary safety data up to 5x the current highest labeled dose of WAKIX are consistent with the established safety profile of WAKIX and establish safety margins for the pitolisant-HD development program\nPitolisant-HD on track for PDUFA in 2028 with the goal to extend the pitolisant franchise to mid-2040s\nProvisional patents filed until 2044 with the opportunity to grow the pitolisant franchise by pursuing additional indications\n\nPitolisant-GR (gastro-resistant) program: \n\nPitolisant-GR is a gastro-resistant formulation of pitolisant designed to minimize GI tolerability issues in patients with narcolepsy; approximately 90% of patients with narcolepsy experience GI symptoms partly related to the underlying disease mechanism\nOn track to initiate pivotal bioequivalence study and dosing optimization study (to remove the titration dose) in Q1 2025\nPDUFA on track for 2026 with IP to the mid-2040s\n\nOrexin-2 agonist program: \n\nBP1.15205 (formerly TPM-1116) potential to be best-in-class orexin-2 receptor agonist\n\nBased on a novel chemical scaffold\nDemonstrated greater potency compared to all publicly disclosed data on orexin-2 agonists; allows for dosing flexibility to target all central disorders of hypersomnolence. The potency was consistent across species along with an excellent selectivity of greater than 600x which translates to over 140-fold margin over orexin-1 receptors at the anticipated maximum human dose\nIn addition, BP1.15205 demonstrated over 1000-fold selectively over 150 other targets of interest\nPreclinical PK data consistent with once-a-day dosing\nRare Epilepsy: Most Advanced Development Program in the 5-HT2 agonist class \nEPX-100 (clemizole hydrochloride):\n\nMoA: Proven serotonergic (5-HT2) mechanism of action in Developmental Epileptic Encephalopathies (DEEs) confirmed via a validated and highly predictive preclinical model (zebra fish model)\nMost advanced development program for the DEEs:\n\nEPX-100 in Phase 3 registration trial, ARGUS study, in patients with Dravet syndrome (DS); on track for topline data in 2026\n\nEPX-100 Phase 3 registration trial for Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS) on track to initiate later this year\nPreliminary Safety and Tolerability data suggests favorable profile compared to select approved drugs for rare epilepsies (with no need for routine laboratory or cardiac monitoring)\nReceived Orphan Drug Designation (ODD) and Rare Pediatric Disease Designation (RPDD) by the FDA for DS and LGS\n\nEPX-200 (lorcaserin hydrochloride):\n\nMoA: Potent, selective 5HT2C agonist with proven mechanism of action in DEEs confirmed via non-clinical and clinical data\nCurrently in IND-enabling stage\nReceived ODD for DS, and ODD / RPDD for LGS by the FDA; and ODD for DS by the European Medicines Agency\n\nNeurobehavioral: Next Major Clinical Catalyst\nZYN-002\n\nPivotal Phase 3 RECONNECT trial in Fragile X syndrome ongoing; topline data on track for mid-2025\nAnticipate initiation of pivotal Phase 3 trial in 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q) in 2025\n\nThird Quarter 2024 Financial Results \nNet product revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, were $186.0 million, compared to $160.3 million for the same period in 2023. The 16% growth versus the same period in 2023 is primarily attributed to strong commercial sales of WAKIX driven by continued organic demand tapping into a large market opportunity (approximately 80,000 patients diagnosed with narcolepsy in the U.S.) and the broad clinical utility of WAKIX across the approximately 9,000 HCPs that we call on (about 5,000 of whom do not participate in an oxybate REMS program). The average number of patients on WAKIX increased by approximately 250 sequentially to approximately 6,800 for the quarter ended September 30, 2024. \nGAAP net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, was $46.1 million, or $0.79 earnings per diluted share, compared to GAAP net income of $38.5 million, or $0.63 earnings per diluted share, for the same period in 2023. Non-GAAP adjusted net income was $59.6 million, or $1.03 earnings per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, compared to Non-GAAP adjusted net income of $58.8 million, or $0.97 per diluted share, for the same period in 2023.\nReconciliations of applicable GAAP financial measures to Non-GAAP financial measures are included at the end of this press release.\nHarmony's operating expenses include the following:\n\nResearch and Development expenses were $25.4 million in the third quarter of 2024, as compared to $17.5 million for the same quarter in 2023, representing a 45% increase;\nSales and Marketing expenses were $27.6 million in the third quarter of 2024, as compared to $23.4 million for the same quarter in 2023, representing a 18% increase;\nGeneral and Administrative expenses were $28.6 million in the third quarter of 2024, as compared to $22.5 million for the same quarter in 2023, representing a 27% increase; and\nTotal Operating Expenses were $81.6 million in the third quarter of 2024, as compared to $63.5 million for the same quarter in 2023, representing a 29% increase.\n\nAs of September 30, 2024, Harmony had cash, cash equivalents and investments of $504.7 million, compared to $425.6 million as of December 31, 2023.\nReiterates 2024 Net Product Revenue Guidance\nExpect full year 2024 net product revenue of $700 million to $720 million.\nShare Repurchase Program\nThe remaining amount of common stock authorized for repurchases as of September 30, 2024, was $150 million.\nConference Call Today at 8:30 a.m. ET \nWe are hosting our third quarter 2024 financial results conference call and webcast today, beginning at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time. The live and replay webcast of the call will be available on the investor relations page of our website at  https://ir.harmonybiosciences.com/. To participate in the live call by phone, dial (800) 245-3047 (domestic) or (203) 518-9765 (international), and reference passcode HRMYQ324.\nNon-GAAP Financial Measures\nIn addition to our GAAP results, we present certain Non-GAAP metrics including Non-GAAP adjusted net income and Non-GAAP adjusted net income per share, which we believe provides important supplemental information to management and investors regarding our performance. These measurements are not a substitute for GAAP measurements, and the manner in which we calculate Non-GAAP adjusted net income and Non-GAAP adjusted net income per share may not be identical to the manner in which other companies calculate adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share. We use these Non-GAAP measurements as an aid in monitoring our financial performance from quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year and for benchmarking against comparable companies.\nNon-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures; should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP; have no standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP; and are not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. In addition, from time to time in the future there may be other items that we may exclude for purposes of our Non-GAAP financial measures; and we may in the future cease to exclude items that we have historically excluded for purposes of our Non-GAAP financial measures.\nAbout WAKIX® (pitolisant) TabletsWAKIX, a first-in-class medication, is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) or cataplexy in adult patients with narcolepsy and for the treatment of EDS in pediatric patients 6 years of age and older with narcolepsy. It was granted orphan drug designation for the treatment of narcolepsy in 2010, and breakthrough therapy designation for the treatment of cataplexy in 2018. WAKIX is a selective histamine 3 (H₃) receptor antagonist/inverse agonist. The mechanism of action of WAKIX is unclear; however, its efficacy could be mediated through its activity at H₃ receptors, thereby increasing the synthesis and release of histamine, a wake promoting neurotransmitter. WAKIX was designed and developed by Bioprojet (France). Harmony has an exclusive license from Bioprojet to develop, manufacture and commercialize pitolisant in the United States.\nIndications and UsageWAKIX is indicated for the treatment of excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) or cataplexy in adult patients with narcolepsy and for the treatment of excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) in pediatric patients 6 years of age and older with narcolepsy.\nImportant Safety Information\nContraindicationsWAKIX is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to pitolisant or any component of the formulation. Anaphylaxis has been reported. WAKIX is also contraindicated in patients with severe hepatic impairment.\nWarnings and PrecautionsWAKIX prolongs the QT interval. Avoid use of WAKIX in patients with known QT prolongation or in combination with other drugs known to prolong the QT interval. Avoid use in patients with a history of cardiac arrhythmias, as well as other circumstances that may increase the risk of the occurrence of torsade de pointes or sudden death, including symptomatic bradycardia, hypokalemia or hypomagnesemia, and the presence of congenital prolongation of the QT interval. \nThe risk of QT prolongation may be greater in patients with hepatic or renal impairment due to higher concentrations of pitolisant; monitor these patients for increased QTc. Dosage modification is recommended in patients with moderate hepatic impairment and moderate or severe renal impairment. WAKIX is contraindicated in patients with severe hepatic impairment and not recommended in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD).\nAdverse ReactionsIn the placebo-controlled clinical trials conducted in patients with narcolepsy with or without cataplexy, the most common adverse reactions (≥5% and at least twice placebo) for WAKIX were insomnia (6%), nausea (6%), and anxiety (5%). Other adverse reactions that occurred at ≥2% and more frequently than in patients treated with placebo included headache, upper respiratory tract infection, musculoskeletal pain, heart rate increased, hallucinations, irritability, abdominal pain, sleep disturbance, decreased appetite, cataplexy, dry mouth, and rash.\nIn the placebo-controlled phase of the clinical trial conducted in pediatric patients 6 years and older with narcolepsy with or without cataplexy, the most common adverse reactions (≥5% and greater than placebo) for WAKIX were headache (19%) and insomnia (7%). The overall adverse reaction profile of WAKIX in the pediatric clinical trial was similar to that seen in the adult clinical trial program.\nDrug InteractionsConcomitant administration of WAKIX with strong CYP2D6 inhibitors increases pitolisant exposure by 2.2-fold. Reduce the dose of WAKIX by half. \nConcomitant use of WAKIX with strong CYP3A4 inducers decreases exposure of pitolisant by 50%. Dosage adjustments may be required.\nH1 receptor antagonists that cross the blood-brain barrier may reduce the effectiveness of WAKIX. Patients should avoid centrally acting H1 receptor antagonists. \nWAKIX is a borderline/weak inducer of CYP3A4. WAKIX may reduce the effectiveness of sensitive CYP3A4 substrates, including hormonal contraceptives. Patients using hormonal contraception should be advised to use an alternative non-hormonal contraceptive method during treatment with WAKIX and for at least 21 days after discontinuing treatment.\nUse in Specific Populations\nThere is a pregnancy exposure registry that monitors pregnancy outcomes in women who are exposed to WAKIX during pregnancy. Patients should be encouraged to enroll in the WAKIX pregnancy registry if they become pregnant. To enroll or obtain information from the registry, patients can call 1-800-833-7460.\nThe safety and effectiveness of WAKIX have not been established for treatment of excessive daytime sleepiness in pediatric patients less than 6 years of age with narcolepsy.\nThe safety and effectiveness of WAKIX have not been established for treatment of cataplexy in pediatric patients with narcolepsy.\nWAKIX is extensively metabolized by the liver. WAKIX is contraindicated in patients with severe hepatic impairment. Dosage adjustment is recommended in patients with moderate hepatic impairment.\nWAKIX is not recommended in patients with end-stage renal disease. Dosage adjustment of WAKIX is recommended in patients with eGFR <60 mL/minute/1.73 m2.\nDosage reduction is recommended in patients known to be poor CYP2D6 metabolizers; these patients have higher concentrations of WAKIX than normal CYP2D6 metabolizers.\nPlease see the Full Prescribing Information for WAKIX for more information.\nTo report suspected adverse reactions, contact Harmony Biosciences at 1-800-833-7460 or the FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch.\nAbout NarcolepsyNarcolepsy is a rare, chronic, debilitating neurological disease of sleep-wake state instability that impacts approximately 170,000 Americans and is primarily characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) and cataplexy – its two cardinal symptoms – along with other manifestations of REM sleep dysregulation (hallucinations and sleep paralysis), which intrude into wakefulness. EDS is the inability to stay awake and alert during the day and is the symptom that is present in all people living with narcolepsy. In most patients, narcolepsy is caused by the loss of hypocretin/orexin, a neuropeptide in the brain that supports sleep-wake state stability. This disease affects men and women equally, with typical symptom onset in adolescence or young adulthood; however, it can take up to a decade to be properly diagnosed.\nAbout Idiopathic HypersomniaIdiopathic Hypersomnia (IH) is a rare and chronic neurological disease that is characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) despite sufficient or even long sleep time. EDS in IH cannot be alleviated by naps, longer sleep or more efficient sleep. People living with IH experience significant EDS along with the symptoms of sleep inertia (prolonged difficulty waking up from sleep) and 'brain fog' (impaired cognition, attention, and alertness). The cause of IH is unknown, but it is likely due to alterations in areas of the brain that stabilize states of sleep and wakefulness. IH is one of the central disorders of hypersomnolence and, like narcolepsy, is a debilitating sleep disorder that can result in significant disruption in daily functioning.\nAbout ZYN-002ZYN-002 is the first-and-only pharmaceutically manufactured synthetic cannabidiol devoid of THC and formulated as a patent-protected permeation-enhanced gel for transdermal delivery through the skin and into the circulatory system. The product is manufactured through a synthetic process in a cGMP facility and is not extracted from the cannabis plant. ZYN-002 does not contain THC, the compound that causes the euphoric effect of cannabis, and has the potential to be a nonscheduled product if approved. Cannabidiol, the active ingredient in ZYN-002, has been granted orphan drug designation by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for the treatment of FXS and for the treatment of 22q. Additionally, ZYN-002 has received FDA Fast Track designation for the treatment of behavioral symptoms in patients with FXS.\nAbout Fragile X SyndromeFragile X syndrome (FXS) is a rare genetic disorder that is the leading known cause of both inherited intellectual disability and autism spectrum disorder. The disorder negatively affects synaptic function, plasticity and neuronal connections, and results in a spectrum of intellectual disabilities and behavioral symptoms, such as social avoidance and irritability. While the exact prevalence is unknown, upwards of 80,000 patients in the U.S. and 121,000 patients in the European Union and the UK are believed to have FXS, based on FXS prevalence estimates of approximately 1 in 4,000 to 7,000 in males and approximately 1 in 8,000 to 11,000 in females. There is a significant unmet medical need in patients living with FXS as there are currently no FDA approved treatments for this disorder.\nFXS is caused by a mutation in FMR1, a gene which modulates a number of systems, including the endocannabinoid system, and most critically, codes for a protein called FMRP. The FMR1 mutation manifests as multiple repeats of a DNA segment, known as the CGG triplet repeat, resulting in deficiency or lack of FMRP. FMRP helps regulate the production of other proteins and plays a role in the development of synapses, which are critical for relaying nerve impulses, and in regulating synaptic plasticity. In people with full mutation of the FMR1 gene, the CGG segment is repeated more than 200 times, and in most cases causes the gene to not function. Methylation of the FMR1 gene also plays a role in determining functionality of the gene. In approximately 60% of patients with FXS, who have complete methylation of the FMR1 gene, no FMRP is produced, resulting in dysregulation of the systems modulated by FMRP.\nAbout 22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q) is a disorder caused by a small missing piece of the 22nd chromosome. The deletion occurs near the middle of the chromosome at a location designated q11.2. It is considered a mid-line condition, with physical symptoms including characteristic palate abnormalities, heart defects, immune dysfunction, and esophageal/ GI issues, as well as debilitating neuropsychiatric and behavioral symptoms, including anxiety, social withdrawal, ADHD, cognitive impairment and autism spectrum disorder. It is estimated that 22q occurs in one in 4,000 live births, suggesting that there are approximately 80,000 people living with 22q in the U.S. and 129,000 in the European Union and the UK. Patients with 22q deletion syndrome are managed by multidisciplinary care providers, and there are currently no FDA approved treatments for this disorder.\nAbout Clemizole Hydrochloride (EPX-100)EPX-100, clemizole hydrochloride, is under development for the treatment of Dravet syndrome (DS) and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS). EPX-100 acts by targeting central 5-hydroxytryptamine receptors to modulate serotonin signaling. The drug candidate is administered orally twice a day in a liquid formulation and has been developed based on a proprietary phenotype-based zebrafish drug screening platform. DS is caused by a loss of function mutation in the SCN1A gene, and scn1 mutant zebrafish replicate the genetic etiology and phenotype observed in the majority of DS patients. The scn1Lab mutant zebrafish model that expresses voltage gated sodium channels has been used for high-throughput screening of compounds that modulate Nav1.1 in the central nervous system.\nAbout Lorcaserin (EPX-200)EPX-200, liquid formulation of lorcaserin is under development for the treatment of DEEs (Developmental Epileptic Encephalopathies). EPX-200 is a selective 5-HT2C receptor agonist. The drug candidate is developed based on a proprietary phenotype-based zebrafish drug screening platform and clinical data in patients with DEEs1,2.\nAbout Dravet SyndromeDravet syndrome (DS) is a severe and progressive epileptic encephalopathy that begins in infancy and causes significant impact on patient functioning. DS begins in the first year of life and is characterized by high seizure frequency and severity, intellectual disability, and a risk of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy. Approximately 85% of Dravet Syndrome cases are caused by de novo loss-of-function (LOF) mutations in a voltage-gated sodium channel gene, SCN1A1. DS has an estimated incidence rate of 1:15,700.\nAbout Lennox-Gastaut SyndromeLennox-Gastaut Syndrome (LGS) is a rare and drug-resistant epileptic encephalopathy characterized by onset in children between 3-5 years of age. The underlying cause of LGS is unknown and can be related to a wide range of factors including genetic differences and structural differences in the brain. As a result, patients experience multiple seizure types, including atonic seizures, and developmental, cognitive, and behavioral issues. LGS affects approximately 48,000 patients in the U.S. \nAbout Harmony BiosciencesHarmony Biosciences is a pharmaceutical company dedicated to developing and commercializing innovative therapies for patients with rare neurological diseases who have unmet medical needs.
