H.C. Wainwright analyst Oren Livnat said that Antares Pharma reported "solid" Q1 results but "most importantly...finally explicitly confirmed a key aspect of the Xyosted filing," specifically that the company already conducted an ambulatory blood pressure monitoring study as part of the supplemental safety study ahead of the NDA submission. That fact, along with Antares' ability to re-submit the NDA just a week after receiving the minutes from the FDA Type-A meeting, increases his confidence in Xyosted approval coming in 2018, Livnat said. He raised his view of Xyosted's probability of success to 70% from 40% and increased his price target to $4 from $3.50 on Antares shares. Livnat keeps a Buy rating on the stock.
