Neurocrine Biosciences Inc Stock Price, News & Analysis

Neurocrine Biosciences (NBIX) announced the publication of a supplement focused on classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) in The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism. The supplement, comprising eight review articles, provides comprehensive insights into the challenges and management of classic CAH due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency.

The publication features contributions from leading endocrinologists and researchers, covering topics such as pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, treatment challenges, and advances in treatment, including CRENESSITY™ (crinecerfont), the first oral treatment that directly reduces excess adrenocorticotropic hormone and adrenal androgen production.

The supplement aims to enhance healthcare professionals' understanding of CAH management and improve patient care through evidence-based approaches. It addresses various aspects including genetics, treatment challenges in different age groups, mental health issues, and barriers to management.

Neurocrine Biosciences (NBIX) announced the publication of a narrative review discussing challenges in treating classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) with traditional glucocorticoids (GCs) and potential benefits of new non-GC treatments. The review, published in Expert Review of Endocrinology & Metabolism, highlights how non-GC mechanisms could enable lower, more physiologic GC dosing while managing excess ACTH and androgens.

The publication emphasizes that chronic exposure to high-dose GC treatment can lead to severe cardiovascular, metabolic, and skeletal complications, affecting patients' mental health and quality of life. The FDA recently approved CRENESSITY™ (crinecerfont), the first and only classic CAH treatment that directly reduces excess ACTH and adrenal androgen production, allowing for GC dose reduction in patients four years and older.

Neurocrine Biosciences (NBIX) has announced its participation in the 43rd Annual J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference in San Francisco. The presentation is scheduled for Monday, January 13, 2025, at 8:15 a.m. Pacific Time.

The approval is supported by the largest-ever CAH clinical trial program, with significant results in both pediatric and adult studies. In pediatric trials, CRENESSITY showed 4x greater steroid dose reduction versus placebo. In adult trials, 63% of patients achieved glucocorticoid dose reduction while maintaining or improving androgen levels, compared to 18% on placebo.

The drug will be commercially available within a week through PANTHERx Rare pharmacy, with most patients expected to pay $10 or less monthly.

Neurocrine Biosciences (NBIX) presented new KINECT-HD study data showing INGREZZA (valbenazine) demonstrated consistent efficacy in reducing chorea across 19 subgroups of Huntington's disease patients. The analysis revealed significant improvements compared to placebo, with a least-squares mean difference of -3.2 in chorea reduction. The study also showed improvements in emotional health aspects, including reduced anger (-1.7 vs -0.2 placebo), feeling overwhelmed (-1.7 vs -0.4), and anxiety (-1.4 vs -0.5). Safety assessments indicated no worsening in anxiety symptoms, depression, or suicidal ideation with INGREZZA treatment.

Neurocrine Biosciences (NBIX) presented data from over 300 patients treated with INGREZZA® for tardive dyskinesia, showing significant improvements across multiple measures. The Phase 3 and 4 studies demonstrated improvements in functional, social, emotional, and health-related quality of life metrics. Notable improvements were observed in self-consciousness (-1.24), embarrassment (-1.19), and mouth noises (-1.05). In real-world practice, 93.9% of patients experienced TD improvement, with 94.2% showing enhanced functional status. The study also reported improved antipsychotic adherence in 52.2% of patients with available data.
