Xeris Glucagon to be Branded "Gvoke"; Xeris Issues 5M Additional Shares
Here is a brief preview of this blast: Xeris announced a proposed public offering of 5M additional shares; and, in the S-1 document, disclosed the commercial name of its stable glucagon as "Gvoke" believed to be pronounced (gee'-voke), which appears to be a play on the word "evoke." Below, FENIX provides key highlights from the S-1 filing, thoughts on the impending Xeris glucagon launch in H2 '19 (June 10, 2019 PDUFA date), and insight on potential read-through to Xeris from FDA's upcoming decisions on Sanofi/Lexicon's sotagliflozin in T1DM (March 22, 2019 PDUFA date) and Lilly's nasal glucagon (PDUFA believed to be in April 2019).
