Douglas Tsao has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors surrounding Xenon’s promising drug development pipeline and potential market impact. The optimism is primarily driven by the Phase 3 X-TOLE2 study, which has exceeded its patient enrollment target and is expected to replicate positive results from the Phase 2 study. The focus is on the efficacy of azetukalner in patients using cenobamate, as preclinical findings suggest a synergistic effect without additional toxicities, which could enhance its adoption.
Furthermore, Xenon’s pipeline includes promising candidates like XEN1120 and XEN1701, targeting acute and chronic pain with novel mechanisms that could offer broader analgesic effects and improved safety profiles. The potential for these drugs to provide effective pain management solutions, combined with azetukalner’s favorable characteristics such as ease of use and durable efficacy, positions Xenon well in the market. These factors contribute to the positive outlook and Buy rating by Tsao.
