XenoPort, Inc. Research Report
On January 12, 2014, XenoPort, Inc. (XenoPort) reported an update on the development of XP23829, including feedback from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on the potential development plans, and the Company's progress on commercializing HORIZANT (gabapentin enacarbil) Extended-Release Tablets. The Company stated that based on the feedback from the FDA Division of Neurology Products regarding potential development plans for XP23829 as a potential treatment for patients with relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (MS), XenoPort believes that the FDA would allow the Company to initiate potential Phase 3 clinical development using XP23829 doses that produce monomethyl fumarate (MMF) exposure similar to that produced by the approved dose of TECFIDERA (dimethyl fumarate). XenoPort added that in 2014, it intends to submit an Investigational New Drug (IND) application to the FDA Division of Dermatology for XP23829 as a potential treatment for moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis. In addition, XenoPort reported its progress in the commercialization of HORIZANT, and stated that it has made substantial progress in enhancing the value of the HORIZANT business. "Based on our current operating plan, and assuming continued HORIZANT sales growth comparable to what we've experienced since we started commercializing HORIZANT, we believe that net sales of HORIZANT will exceed the sum of cost of product sold and selling, advertising and promotional expenses by the end of 2014, and that the HORIZANT business will reach break-even and turn profitable by the end of 2015." said Ronald W. Barrett, PhD, CEO of XenoPort. The Full Research Report on XenoPort, Inc. - including full detailed breakdown, analyst ratings and price targets - is available to download free of charge at:

Portola informed that the Phase 3 studies are expected to start in H1 2014.
