Edison Equity Research analysts say that expected new clinical data from Swedish drug developer Orexo (STO: ORX) could benefit the company’s share price.
Their report said that Orexo is focused on securing competitive reimbursement to drive Zubsolv (buprenorphine/naloxone) sublingual tablet CIII sales growth in the USA.
New clinical data next year could expand Zubsolv’s current label for use as maintenance treatment for people suffering from opioid dependence and take market share from UK-headquartered Reckitt Benckiser (LSE: RBL) Suboxone (buprenorphine), which had 85% market share with more than $1.5 billion of sales last year. Zubsolv may also benefit from the limited impact of Suboxone generics and speculation about Reckitt’s intention to divest its pharma division, the analysts added.
