Baudax Bio reports Q4 EPS ($12.33) vs. $437.19 last year

Reports Q4 revenue $310M vs. $400M last year. "During our fourth quarter we refocused our priorities on our NMB portfolio, initiating our Phase II trial for BX1000 and advancing our Phase I dose escalation trial for BX2000," said Gerri Henwood, Baudax Bio’s President and Chief Executive Officer. "The encouraging interim data we announced from the BX1000 trial showed all patients treated to date have met the criteria for Good or Excellent intubating conditions at 60 seconds, and that BX1000 has been generally well tolerated. We believe these data speak to the potential of our NMB portfolio to improve patient management and deliver cost efficiencies in procedures where NMB is required. We expect to complete enrollment in the BX1000 trial during the first quarter of 2023, and to announce top line data early in the second quarter of 2023. Concurrently, BX2000, our ultrashort acting NMB, is continuing through its dose escalation study, which we expect to complete by the end of 2023. BX3000, our NMB reversal agent, remains on track, and we expect to complete the nonclinical and manufacturing studies needed to support an IND filing for BX3000, the NMB reversal agent in the summer of 2023. Data from these trials will provide us with insight on the profiles of the two blocking agents, which will contribute to decisions to move forward later in 2023. Due to persistent economic challenges facing hospitals, as previously disclosed, we have taken the strategic decision to discontinue commercialization of ANJESO," continued Ms. Henwood. "We continue to believe in ANJESO’s advantages over other non-opioid pain therapies, as well as its potential to overcome many of the issues associated with commonly prescribed opioid therapeutics."
