Analysis · XERS · Life Sciences
Xeris disclosed the full design of its Phase 3 Cornerstone study for XP-8121, a once-weekly subcutaneous levothyroxine for hypothyroidism. The study will enroll 500 patients across more than 50 U.S. sites with a 15% non-inferiority margin and greater than 90% power, with topline results expected in late 2028 and potential FDA approval and launch in 2030. Management pegs peak net revenue at $1–3 billion, a substantial opportunity relative to the company's current commercial portfolio. The program is fully aligned with FDA feedback and entirely self-funded, reducing near-term financing risk. This is the first detailed disclosure of the registrational study design and commercial target, making it a meaningful pipeline update for a company whose near-term value is anchored in XP-8121's success.
