Omeros (NASDAQ: OMER) reported Q4 EPS of ($0.48), $0.19 better than the analyst estimate of ($0.67). Revenue for the quarter came in at $22.02 million versus the consensus estimate of $16.08 million.

“We’re pleased with the record OMIDRIA sales in the fourth quarter, which, together with stronger than historical demand for the product in January and February, form the basis for our expectations of substantial growth through 2019,” said Gregory A. Demopulos, M.D., Omeros’ chairman and chief executive officer. “Adding to our success with OMIDRIA, we have significantly advanced narsoplimab, our MASP-2 inhibitor, toward what we anticipate will be its first in a line of approvals, with our team currently preparing a BLA for stem cell-associated TMA. Behind stem-cell TMA, narsoplimab is in Phase 3 trials for IgA nephropathy and for aHUS, and we anticipate success here as well. OMS527 for addiction is in a Phase 1 clinical program, and our MASP-3 inhibitor, OMS906, and small-molecule inhibitor of MASP-2 are slated to enter the clinic next year. We’ve also expanded our pipeline into immuno-oncology with antagonists against GPR174, a novel target that, based on our animal and ex-vivo human data, increasingly appears to control a critical axis in the treatment of cancers. Across our programs, 2019 looks to be a year of tremendous achievements that we expect will ultimately improve – and save – patients’ lives.”
