Welcome to our dedicated page for Harmony Biosciences Holdings news (Ticker: HRMY), a resource for investors and traders seeking the latest updates and insights on Harmony Biosciences Holdings stock.
Harmony Biosciences Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: HRMY) is a commercial-stage pharmaceutical company committed to developing and commercializing innovative therapies for patients with rare neurological diseases who have unmet medical needs. Established in 2017 and headquartered in Plymouth Meeting, PA, Harmony focuses on rare and orphan diseases, particularly those involving the central nervous system.
Harmony's flagship product is WAKIX® (pitolisant). This molecule is specifically designed to increase histamine signaling in the brain by binding to H3 receptors. It is used for the treatment of excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) and cataplexy in adult patients with narcolepsy. WAKIX has been commercially available in the U.S. since Q4 2019 and continues to demonstrate strong market performance.
In recent developments, Harmony has initiated a global Phase 3 TEMPO study to evaluate pitolisant for treating EDS and behavioral symptoms in patients with Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS). The U.S. FDA granted Orphan Drug designation to pitolisant for this condition, further underscoring the potential of this therapy to address significant unmet medical needs.
The company's financial performance remains robust, with a 31% increase in net product revenue in Q4 2023 compared to the same period in 2022. Harmony’s strategic growth continues with key acquisitions, such as Epygenix Therapeutics, Inc., which expands its pipeline with promising treatments for rare forms of epilepsy like Dravet syndrome and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome.
Harmony recently announced the FDA's priority review for its supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) for WAKIX for the treatment of EDS or cataplexy in pediatric patients aged six and older with narcolepsy. This decision highlights the pressing need for pediatric treatment options and demonstrates Harmony's commitment to broadening the clinical utility of its products.
Beyond narcolepsy, Harmony is exploring pitolisant's potential for other rare conditions, including Idiopathic Hypersomnia and Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1 (DM1). The company presented encouraging Phase 2 data showing pitolisant's efficacy in reducing EDS and fatigue in DM1 patients, paving the way for a pivotal Phase 3 study.
Harmony's collaborative efforts extend to partnerships with Bioprojet for the development of TPM-1116, an orexin-2 receptor agonist with potential applications in narcolepsy and other sleep/wake disorders. These initiatives align with the company's mission to deliver innovative treatments that improve the lives of patients living with rare neurological diseases.
