We also advanced multiple trials across our zanidatamab development program and expect top-line data readout from the HERIZON-GEA-01 trial in 1L GEA in the second half of 2025." Key Highlights Top-line PFS data from zanidatamab in Phase 3 1L GEA expected in 2H25. Submitted sNDA for Zepzelca in combination with atezolizumab (Tecentriq®) as maintenance therapy in 1L ES-SCLC based on the potentially practice-changing results from the Phase 3 IMforte trial. Data from trial to be presented at the 2025 ASCO Annual Meeting in June 2025 . Acquisition of Chimerix added dordaviprone to late-stage pipeline, representing near-term commercial opportunity; PDUFA target data of August 18, 2025 . Top-line growth expected in 2025; affirmed 2025 total revenue guidance of $4.15 - $4.40 billion , representing 5% growth at the midpoint.

Total revenue guidance is underpinned by expected continued growth of Jazz's diversified commercial portfolio. Business Updates Commercial Updates Xywav (calcium, magnesium, potassium, and sodium oxybates) oral solution: Xywav net product sales increased 9% to $344.8 million in 1Q25 compared to 1Q24. Meaningful Xywav net patient adds in 1Q25 (approximately 450 patients) with approximately 14,600 active Xywav patients exiting 1Q25, comprised of: Approximately 10,375 narcolepsy patients. Approximately 4,225 idiopathic hypersomnia (IH) patients, with 325 net patient adds. Two presentations at the American Academy of Neurology Annual Meeting provided updated results from the open-label, single-arm, Phase 4 DUET trial of adults with narcolepsy or IH. The results demonstrated statistically significant improvements from baseline to end of treatment in Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) scores, reduced sleep stage shifts, increased deep sleep and reduced number of awakenings among adults with narcolepsy treated with Xywav. In adults with IH, Xywav treatment showed improvements in ESS and IH Severity Scale scores. Xywav is the only low-sodium oxybate, the #1 branded treatment for narcolepsy1 and the only U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved therapy to treat IH. Approximately 10,375 narcolepsy patients. Approximately 4,225 idiopathic hypersomnia (IH) patients, with 325 net patient adds. Xyrem (sodium oxybate) oral solution and high-sodium oxybate authorized generic (AG) royalties: Xyrem net product sales decreased 42% to $37.2 million in 1Q25 compared to 1Q24. Royalties from high-sodium oxybate AGs were $48 .9 million in 1Q25. Epidiolex/Epidyolex® (cannabidiol): Epidiolex/Epidyolex net product sales increased 10% to $217.7 million in 1Q25 compared to 1Q24. Outside of the U.S., Epidyolex is approved in more than 35 countries. Remain confident in achieving blockbuster status for Epidiolex/Epidyolex in 2025. Rylaze®/Enrylaze® (asparaginase erwinia chrysanthemi (recombinant)-rywn): Rylaze/Enrylaze net product sales decreased 8% to $94.2 million in 1Q25 compared to 1Q24. This decrease was driven by headwinds from an update to Children's Oncology Group (COG) pediatric treatment protocols for acute lymphoblastic leukemia made in mid-2024 that impacted timing of asparaginase administration. The impact to Rylaze net product sales due to COG protocol updates is expected to normalize during 2Q25. Zepzelca (lurbinectedin): Zepzelca net product sales decreased 16% to $63.0 million in 1Q25 compared to 1Q24. This decrease was driven by increased competition in second-line (2L) small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and treatment protocol updates delaying progression in first-line (1L) limited-stage SCLC patients to the 2L setting. The Company submitted a supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) for Zepzelca's use in combination with atezolizumab as maintenance therapy in 1L extensive-stage (ES) SCLC for patients who have not progressed after induction chemotherapy. Potentially practice-changing data from the Phase 3 IMforte trial, which showed a statistically significant and clinically meaningful benefit in both progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival for the Zepzelca and atezolizumab combination for ES-SCLC patients receiving this treatment in the first-line maintenance setting, was accepted for an oral presentation at the upcoming American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting. This is the first presentation of data from the IMforte trial. Ziihera (zanidatamab-hrii): Ziihera net product sales were $2.0 million in 1Q25 following product launch in December 2024 . On April 25, 2025 , the Company announced that the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) of the European Medicines Agency has adopted a positive opinion recommending the conditional marketing authorization of zanidatamab in 2L BTC (biliary tract cancer). The CHMP recommendation is being reviewed by the European Commission . __________________________ 1 Based on 1Q25 Xywav net product sales. Corporate Development Chimerix Acquisition: The Company completed its acquisition of Chimerix in April 2025 , adding dordaviprone to its late-stage pipeline. Dordaviprone is a novel first-in-class small molecule treatment in development for H3 K27M-mutant diffuse glioma, a rare, high-grade brain tumor that most commonly affects children and young adults. Key Pipeline Highlights Zanidatamab: The pivotal HERIZON-GEA-01 trial, evaluating zanidatamab in 1L gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma (GEA), is expected to read out in 2H25 based on the most recent assessment of progression events. Recruitment for the trial has been completed. New data from an ongoing Phase 2 trial of zanidatamab in combination with chemotherapy for the first-line treatment of HER2-positive metastatic GEA, including more mature overall survival data, was accepted for a rapid oral presentation at the 2025 ASCO Annual Meeting. The Phase 3 EmpowHER-BC-303 trial to evaluate zanidatamab plus chemotherapy or trastuzumab plus chemotherapy in patients with HER2-positive breast cancer whose disease has progressed on previous T-DXd treatment continues to enroll patients. The Phase 2 pan-tumor trial to evaluate HER2-positive solid tumors continues to enroll patients. Dordaviprone: A New Drug Application for accelerated approval of dordaviprone in recurrent H3 K27M-mutant diffuse glioma was accepted and granted Priority Review by FDA. FDA has set a target Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) action date of August 18, 2025 . The ongoing Phase 3 ACTION trial is evaluating dordaviprone in newly diagnosed, non-recurrent H3 K27M-mutant diffuse glioma 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 of adult and pediatric recurrent H3 K27M-mutant diffuse glioma patients was accepted for an oral presentation at the 2025 ASCO Annual Meeting.

Commencing with the first quarter of 2025, we are no longer including an adjustment for non-cash interest expense in the Company's non-GAAP adjusted financial measures and for the purposes of comparability, non-GAAP adjusted financial measures for the first quarter of 2024 have been updated to reflect this change. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below. GAAP net loss for 1Q25 was $(92.5) million , or $(1.52) per diluted share, compared to $(14.6) million , or $(0.23) per diluted share, for 1Q24. Non-GAAP adjusted net income for 1Q25 was $105 .2 million, or $1.68 per diluted share, compared to $178 .4 million, or $2.63 per diluted share, for 1Q24. The GAAP net loss and non-GAAP adjusted net income for 1Q25 included an expense of $172.0 million related to certain Xyrem antitrust litigation settlements, which impacted our GAAP and non-GAAP results by $146.3 million (net of tax of $25.7 million ) or $2.38 per share on a GAAP basis and $2.34 per share on a non-GAAP adjusted basis. Reconciliations of applicable GAAP reported to non-GAAP adjusted information are included at the end of this press release.

Total neuroscience revenue, including high-sodium oxybate AG royalty revenue, was $654 .1 million in 1Q25, an increase of 4% compared to $630.9 million in 1Q24. The increase in 1Q25 was due to higher Xywav and Epidiolex/Epidyolex net product sales, partially offset by decreased Xyrem net product sales. Oncology net product sales were $229 .4 million in 1Q25, a decrease of 11% compared to $257 .5 million in 1Q24. The decrease in 1Q25 was primarily due to lower net product sales of Zepzelca, Rylaze/Enrylaze and Defitelio/defibrotide. In 1Q25, Rylaze net product sales were negatively impacted due to an update to the COG pediatric treatment protocols for ALL, which impacts the timing of asparaginase administration. Operating Expenses and Effective Tax Rate Three Months Ended March 31 , (In thousands, except percentages) 2025 2024 GAAP: Cost of product sales $ 104,620 $ 95,487 Gross margin 87.5 % 88.7 % Selling, general and administrative $ 514,013 $ 351,712 % of total revenues 57.2 % 39.0 % Research and development $ 180,652 $ 222,847 % of total revenues 20.1 % 24.7 % Acquired in-process research and development $ — $ 10,000 Income tax (benefit) expense1 $ (17,812) $ 11,669 Effective tax rate 1 16.2 % (728.4) % _________________________ 1. The GAAP income tax benefit in 1Q25 related primarily to the tax impact of certain Xyrem antitrust litigation settlements. The GAAP income tax expense in 1Q24 related primarily to tax shortfalls from share-based compensation. Three Months Ended March 31 , (In thousands, except percentages) 2025 2024 Non-GAAP adjusted: Cost of product sales $ 69,691 $ 64,148 Gross margin 91.7 % 92.4 % Selling, general and administrative $ 472,339 $ 311,499 % of total revenues 52.6 % 34.5 % Research and development $ 159,722 $ 204,015 % of total revenues 17.8 % 22.6 % Acquired in-process research and development $ — $ 10,000 Income tax expense1 $ 36,394 $ 64,735 Effective tax rate1 25.6 % 26.5 % _________________________ 1. The non-GAAP income tax expense decreased in the three months ended March 31, 2025 , compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to the tax impact of certain Xyrem antitrust settlements in 1Q25. Changes in operating expenses in 1Q25 over the prior year period are primarily due to the following: Cost of product sales, on a GAAP and non-GAAP adjusted basis, increased in 1Q25 compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to changes in product mix and higher inventory provisions. SG&A expenses, on a GAAP and non-GAAP adjusted basis, increased in 1Q25 compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to certain Xyrem antitrust litigation settlements of $172.0 million incurred in 1Q25. Research and development (R&D) expenses, on a GAAP and non-GAAP adjusted basis, decreased in 1Q25 primarily due to lower clinical study costs primarily related to zanidatamab, as a result of timing of clinical trial activities, and JZP385 (essential tremor) and JZP150 (post-traumatic stress disorder) following discontinuation of these programs. Acquired in-process research and development (IPR&D) in 1Q24, on a GAAP and non-GAAP adjusted basis, related to an upfront payment made in connection with our asset purchase agreement with Redx Pharma plc . Cash Flow and Balance Sheet As of March 31, 2025 , cash, cash equivalents and investments were $2 .6 billion, and the outstanding principal balance of the Company's long-term debt was $5 .4 billion. In addition, the Company had undrawn borrowing capacity under a revolving credit facility of $885 .0 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 , the Company generated $429 .8 million of cash from operations reflecting strong business performance and continued financial discipline. In January 2025 , the Company made a voluntary prepayment of $750.0 million principal amount on the Term Loan B. In April 2025 , the Company acquired Chimerix for a total consideration of approximately $935 million , which was funded with cash and cash equivalents. 2025 Financial Guidance1 Jazz Pharmaceuticals is updating its full year 2025 financial guidance primarily to reflect the impact of the Chimerix acquisition and certain Xyrem antitrust litigation settlements.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures To supplement Jazz Pharmaceuticals' financial results and guidance presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the Company uses certain non-GAAP (also referred to as adjusted or non-GAAP adjusted) financial measures in this press release and the accompanying tables. In particular, the Company presents non-GAAP adjusted net income (and the related per share measure) and its line-item components, as well as certain non-GAAP adjusted financial measures derived therefrom, including non-GAAP adjusted gross margin percentage and non-GAAP adjusted effective tax rate. Non-GAAP adjusted net income (and the related per share measure) and its line-item components exclude from GAAP reported net loss (and the related per share measure) and its line-item components certain items, as detailed in the reconciliation tables that follow, and in the case of non-GAAP adjusted net income (and the related per share measure), adjust for the income tax effect of the non-GAAP adjustments. In this regard, the components of non-GAAP adjusted net income, including non-GAAP adjusted cost of product sales, SG&A expenses and R&D expenses, are income statement line items prepared on the same basis as, and therefore components of, the overall non-GAAP adjusted net income measure. The Company believes that each of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful supplementary information to, and facilitates additional analysis by, investors and analysts and that each of these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered together with the Company's financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP, can enhance investors' and analysts' ability to meaningfully compare the Company's results from period to period, to its forward-looking guidance, and to identify operating trends in the Company's business. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are regularly used by investors and analysts to model and track the Company's financial performance. Jazz Pharmaceuticals' management also regularly uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate the Company's business and to make operating decisions, and compensation of executives is based in part on certain of these non-GAAP financial measures. Because these non-GAAP financial measures are important internal measurements for Jazz Pharmaceuticals' management, the Company also believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors and analysts since these measures allow for greater transparency with respect to key financial metrics the Company uses in assessing its own operating performance and making operating decisions. These non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures; should be read in conjunction with the Company's 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 the reconciliation tables that follow. In addition, from time to time in the future there may be other items that the Company may exclude for purposes of its non-GAAP financial measures; and the Company has ceased, and may in the future cease, to exclude items that it has historically excluded for purposes of its non-GAAP financial measures. In this regard, commencing with the first quarter of 2025, the Company is no longer including an adjustment for non-cash interest expense in the Company's non-GAAP adjusted financial measures. For purposes of comparability, non-GAAP adjusted financial measures for the first quarter of 2024 have been updated to reflect this change. Likewise, the Company may determine to modify the nature of its adjustments to arrive at its non-GAAP financial measures. Because of the non-standardized definitions of non-GAAP financial measures, the non-GAAP financial measures as used by Jazz Pharmaceuticals in this press release and the accompanying tables have limits in their usefulness to investors and may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be directly comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Potentially dilutive ordinary shares from Jazz's employee equity incentive and purchase plans were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per ordinary share, or LPS, on a GAAP basis, for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024 because their effect would have been anti-dilutive. Diluted earnings per ordinary share, or EPS, was calculated using the "if-converted" method in relation to the 2.000% exchangeable senior notes due 2026, or the 2026 Notes. In July 2024 , we made the irrevocable election to net share settle the 2026 Notes. As a result, the assumed issuance of ordinary shares upon exchange of the 2026 Notes has only been included in the calculation of diluted EPS, on a non-GAAP adjusted basis, in the three months ended March 31, 2024 . The potential issue of ordinary shares upon exchange of the 2026 Notes was anti-dilutive and had no impact on GAAP reported LPS for the three months ended March 31, 2024 .

前言：近日，一起突如其来的收并购点燃了美股投资者：Jazz Pharmaceuticals（Nasdaq:Jazz）和Chimerix（Nasdaq:CMRX）宣布两家公司已达成最终协议，Jazz将以每股8.55美元的现金收购Chimerix，总对价约为9.35亿美元。该交易已获得两家公司的批准，预计将于2025年第二季度完成。 要知道，这场交易前一天的股价也不过5美元出头，也就是说，本次收购费用几乎翻了CMRX的一倍。CMRX的管线确实不算大众，但能让Jazz看上并溢价90%以上进行收购，必定有其独特的魅力。而收购之后的Jazz，又有哪些看点？ 01 CMRX的管线 CMRX的管线来看，目前能进行估值的管线只有一条——ONC201。该条管线目前也已经冲破重重艰难险阻就快修成正果，到了FDA上市审批（NDA）的阶段。这条管线从第一次开始临床试验（first man）到现在，已经历经10余载，从中也能看出小biotech从头走过来到被收购的完整历程。 （图片来源：CMRX官网） ONC201靶向DRD2和ClpP，主要治疗的患者是患有携带H3K27M突变的复发型胶质瘤患者。众所周知，胶质瘤按照危险程度一共分为I-IV级，III级和IV级是高级别胶质瘤，当外科手术切除之后复发，目前非常缺乏治疗手段。当现治疗“癌王”胰腺癌的药物不断涌现进行临床患者招募，治疗高级别胶质瘤却处于一筹莫展的境况。 该突变方面，在临床上，H3 K27M突变的肿瘤通常处于上文所说的IV级，预后较差。如图所示，在位于脑桥的胶质瘤中，携带这种突变的比率高达75%，而位于脑室的胶质瘤中，携带这种突变的比率也高达71%；此外，约10%的成人神经胶质瘤也显示H3 K27M突变。 （图片来源：CMRX官网PPT） 人数方面，全美国每年约有21000人被诊断为胶质瘤，其中大约有2000名患者受到H3 K27M突变的影响。市场的整体情况大致如此。 而ONC21的机制方面，它的机制也确实非常非常有意思。它一方面可以激动ClpP（Clp蛋白酶蛋白水解亚基）。ClpP是胶质瘤中线粒体的蛋白酶，可以降解线粒体呼吸链蛋白以破坏能量稳态，而胶质瘤的繁殖自然需要大量的能量来进行支撑，因此，破坏能量稳态对影响其增殖起到了重要的作用。也正因为此，在治疗过程中，ClpP会作为重要的biomarker存在。 另一方面，ONC21其实一开始被发现的机制并不是激动ClpP，而是拮抗多巴胺受体D2 (DRD2)，关于这条通路是怎样影响肿瘤的，目前尚不是很清楚，但DRD2是一种G蛋白偶联受体，它可以调节Ras通路；而RAS-RAF-MEK-ERK（简称ERK信号通路）是调控细胞增殖与存活的核心通路，其异常活化与多种癌症的发生发展密切相关。阻断上游Ras信号，对抑制肿瘤活化增殖，促进细胞凋亡也许有意想不到的作用。 但具体ONC21通过DRD2是怎么抑制肿瘤，目前研究并不算很透彻。这大致是目前机制上的情况。 目前能看到的是早期临床试验数据，总量人数为50人。在高级胶质瘤方面，ORR为20%，低级别胶质瘤方面，ORR为26%，以RNAO2.0评估的胶质瘤疗效标准方面，ORR为28%。 该药很早就获得了快速通道资格和孤儿药认定，而目前已经走到了申报上市这一步，相信之后的东西，也会是水到渠成。 02 Jazz近况 Jazz作为一家pharma而言市值并不算很高，甚至没有单一管线的summit高，目前市值为84亿美元左右；它的成名来源与对大麻素的销售，是全球著名的大麻素销售巨头。 其核心单品为Epidiolex，它是第一个也是唯一一个获得FDA 批准的处方大麻二酚 (CBD)， 用于治疗1岁或以上患者与Lennox-Gastaut综合征(LGS)、Dravet综合征或结节性硬化症 (TSC)相关的癫痫发作。它来自于2021年一桩巨额收购案：Jazz以72亿美元收购GW pharma。 其相关的大麻类药物还有satyivex。除此之外，其在2005年收购了Orphan Medical，拿到了羟基丁酸钠这款药物，用于治疗白天嗜睡。 除了上述的精神类药物，Jazz在其它领域也有浓墨重彩的商业化布局。例如defitelio（去纤维钠）治疗肝窦阻塞综合征，RYLAZE治疗大肠杆菌衍生的天冬酰胺酶过敏的成人和1个月或以上的小儿患者的急性淋巴细胞白血病(ALL) 和淋巴母细胞淋巴瘤 (LBL)等。 如图所示为Jazz的营收情况，2023年，其营收达到了38.34亿美元， 总体而言，从现在Jazz的商业化版图来看，它的营收主要还是来自于精神类药物，尤其是大麻类药物，为此也产生过不少专利纠纷，除了精神类药物之类的商业化单品很杂，给人一种不太成体系的感觉。 （图片来源：Jazz 2023年年报） 然而从研发管线上来看，却可以看到Jazz拼尽全力向肿瘤领域转型的决心，如果不去看商业化板块，只去看管线，甚至会以为它是一家正在起步推进管线的肿瘤biotech。 其中，其肿瘤的首发管线Zanidatamab在2024年底已经被FDA批准，进入了上市阶段。该管线是一条HER2双表位抗体，也是Jazz渴望转型的一个体现：2022年，Jazz从zymwok以5000万美元的一次性付款，3.75亿美元的预付款引进该管线，且总交易金额达到了17.6亿美元。 目前，该BD算是有了初步结果，结出的第一个获批适应症二线治疗胆管癌，目前一线治疗胆管癌，一线治疗胃食管腺癌等也已经进入了三期临床阶段，二期临床还有乳腺癌等大适应症在持续推进。 该单品的商业化进程预计将会波澜壮阔。 除此之外，化疗药物芦比卡定也已经获得了批准上市，该药是Jazz通过从PharmaMar手中BD获得，目前用于治疗小细胞肺癌。JZP351则是一种化疗药物组合，目前在治疗白血病的III期临床阶段。 可以看到，Jazz一边收购大麻巨头获得稳健的营收保障，一边不断进行肿瘤药物的BD，用于后续管线的布局，让公司看起来充满预期。 03 结语 从上述对两家企业的叙述中，本次收购就显得合理了起来，Jazz渴望进一步充实肿瘤管线，它在拥有HER2双抗这项大分子肿瘤药物，已经几款化疗药物药物之后，选择了一家小分子biotech进行收购，一方面是让肿瘤管线看起来更加多元化，另一方面也确实是选择了剑走偏锋的差异化竞争。 除此之外，后续管线的潜力也不容小觑：首当其冲的是后续管线ONC206，它是ONC201的下一代同靶点药物，体外活性是ONC201的10倍，拥有非常强劲的体外抗肿瘤活性，目前临床剂量递增试验已经完成。 ONC212和CMX521都在有序推进之中。 总体来说这次收购是Jazz的一次为了扩张肿瘤板块而进行的又一次大动作，既在意料之外，又在情理之中。CMRX也提前上岸，是非常不错的biotech结局。 识别微信二维码，添加抗体圈小编，符合条件者即可加入抗体圈微信群！ 请注明：姓名+研究方向！ 本公众号所有转载文章系出于传递更多信息之目的，且明确注明来源和作者，不希望被转载的媒体或个人可与我们联系(cbplib@163.com)，我们将立即进行删除处理。所有文章仅代表作者观点，不代表本站立场。
