Qiagen NV (NYSE:QGEN) pre-announced second-quarter results, expecting net sales growth of at least 12% at constant exchange rates and adjusted earnings per share of at least 40 cents at CER. The company said the sales growth for the quarter is likely to have benefited from the ongoing significant demand for various products and solutions in pandemic testing, partly offset by lower sales in other areas of its portfolio.
The company also suspended its full-year outlook. It is scheduled to release its first-quarter results after the close.
Cidara Therapeutics Inc (NASDAQ:CDTX) announced publication of 10 abstracts reporting new clinical and preclinical data on the Company's antifungal rezafungin program and preclinical data on its Cloudbreak antiviral program that was to be present at the now cancelled European Congress of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases 2020 meeting.
Data from the STRIVE Phase 2 trial showed that a single dose of rezafungin has a Day 5 success rate of 62.3% compared to 55.7% for the approved echinocandin comparator, caspofungin. Additionally, preclinical data in a rabbit model of Candida endophthalmitis showed treatment with rezafungin significantly lowered fungal burden as compared to micafungin, azole as well as vehicle control in multiple eye tissues.
New findings on the company's Cloudbreak antiviral platform candidate CD377 showed the candidate's tolerability and stability in preclinical invitro and invivo studies. In animal testing, single doses of CD377 showed a greater decrease in lung viral burden and cytokine levels compared to oseltamivir, dosed for five days.
