Commercial Performance Highlights

The company's neuroscience portfolio showed continued strength, with total neuroscience revenue, including high-sodium oxybate authorized generic royalties, reaching $654.1 million in Q1 2025, a 4% increase compared to the same period last year.

Xywav查看药品详情 (calcium, magnesium, potassium, and sodium oxybates) continued its strong performance with net product sales increasing 9% to $344.8 million compared to Q1 2024. The company reported approximately 14,600 active Xywav patients at the end of Q1, adding approximately 450 patients during the quarter.

Epidiolex查看药品详情/Epidyolex (cannabidiol) net product sales increased 10% to $217.7 million compared to Q1 2024. The company expressed confidence in achieving blockbuster status for this product in 2025. Outside the U.S., Epidyolex is now approved in more than 35 countries.

The oncology portfolio faced some challenges, with net product sales of $229.4 million in Q1 2025, representing an 11% decrease compared to the same period last year. This decline was primarily attributed to lower sales of Zepzelca查看药品详情, Rylaze查看药品详情/Enrylaze, and Defitelio/defibrotide.

Zepzelca查看药品详情 (lurbinectedin) net product sales decreased 16% to $63.0 million, affected by increased competition in second-line small cell lung cancer (搜索)搜索该疾病 and treatment protocol updates.

Ziihera查看药品详情 (zanidatamab查看药品详情-hrii), launched in December 2024, contributed $2.0 million in net product sales during its first full quarter on the market.

Pipeline Advancements and Strategic Developments

Jazz made significant progress across its pipeline during the quarter, highlighted by several key developments:

The company submitted a supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) for Zepzelca查看药品详情 in combination with atezolizumab (Tecentriq) as maintenance therapy in first-line extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (搜索)搜索该疾病 (1L ES-SCLC) for patients who have not progressed after induction chemotherapy. This submission was based on the Phase 3 IMforte trial, which showed statistically significant and clinically meaningful benefits in both progression-free survival and overall survival. Data from this potentially practice-changing trial will be presented at the upcoming American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting in June 2025.

"We are pleased to report that we have submitted a supplemental New Drug Application for Zepzelca查看药品详情 for maintenance therapy in first-line extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (搜索)搜索该疾病," noted Cozadd.

In April 2025, Jazz completed its acquisition of Chimerix查看公司主页 for approximately $935 million, adding dordaviprone查看药品详情 to its late-stage pipeline. Dordaviprone is a novel first-in-class small molecule treatment in development for H3 K27M-mutant diffuse glioma (搜索)搜索该疾病, a rare, high-grade brain tumor that most commonly affects children and young adults. The FDA has granted Priority Review for dordaviprone with a target Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) action date of August 18, 2025.

The ongoing Phase 3 ACTION trial is evaluating dordaviprone查看药品详情 in newly diagnosed, non-recurrent H3 K27M-mutant diffuse glioma (搜索)搜索该疾病 patients following radiation treatment, potentially extending its use into the first-line setting. Data on the efficacy and safety of dordaviprone from prospective clinical trials in adult and pediatric recurrent H3 K27M-mutant diffuse glioma patients has been accepted for an oral presentation at the 2025 ASCO Annual Meeting.

For zanidatamab查看药品详情, Jazz's HER2 (搜索)搜索该靶点-targeted bispecific antibody, the pivotal HERIZON-GEA-01 trial in first-line gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma (搜索)搜索该疾病 (1L GEA) is expected to read out top-line progression-free survival data in the second half of 2025. The company is also advancing the Phase 3 EmpowHER-BC-303 trial evaluating zanidatamab plus chemotherapy or trastuzumab plus chemotherapy in patients with HER2-positive breast cancer whose disease has progressed on previous T-DXd treatment.

On April 25, 2025, Jazz announced that the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) of the European Medicines Agency adopted a positive opinion recommending conditional marketing authorization of zanidatamab查看药品详情 in second-line biliary tract cancer (搜索)搜索该疾病.
