Biohaven reports Q3 adjusted EPS ($1.74), consensus ($1.70)

Vlad Coric, M.D., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Biohaven (BHVN), commented, “The team at Biohaven continues to advance multiple late and early stage assets that have the potential to change the current standard of care treatment paradigm across a number of diseases. Last quarter we announced positive topline results in our RWE trial assessing troriluzole for the treatment of spinocerebellar ataxia. Troriluzole (200 mg dosed orally) met the study’s primary endpoint on the change from baseline in the f-SARA at 3 years in all study population genotypes, showed statistically significant superiority after both 1 and 2 years of treatment, and achieved statistically significant superiority on 9 consecutive, prespecified primary and secondary endpoints. This was truly a watershed moment for the Company, given the implications of potentially bending the arc of one of the most intractable neurological diseases with no currently approved treatment options. SCA robs patients of their ability to speak, walk, and take care of themselves, and often shortens lifespans and has unfortunate intergenerational implications. We were encouraged by the robust dataset gathered to date and look forward to submitting an NDA to the FDA.”
