On October 9, Jazz Pharmaceuticals PLC fell 6.43% in regular trading, trading at $215.56/share, with Turnover of $1.22 billion.
The decline came after the company planned to file a label supplement with the FDA to withdraw the second-line indication for Zepzelca in small cell lung cancer, while keeping the first-line maintenance indication unchanged. The phase 3 Lagoon trial for that setting had already failed to meet its overall survival primary endpoint in June, so the withdrawal itself was expected, but it still intensified near-term concerns over the oncology pipeline.
Broader sector weakness added pressure: within the pharmacy sector, Eli Lilly fell 4.21%, Johnson & Johnson fell 2.22%, and Pfizer fell 1.84%, while Pacira Pharmaceuticals rose 43.95% and Veradermics rose 15.45%.
Jazz Pharmaceuticals identifies, develops, and commercializes pharmaceutical products for unmet medical needs, including Xywav, Xyrem, Epidiolex, Zepzelca, Rylaze, and Defitelio.
