Shares of Tarsus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: TARS) soared 5.4% in pre-market trading on Tuesday, following the company's impressive fourth quarter and full-year 2024 financial results driven by the strong launch of its new eye drop XDEMVY for the treatment of Demodex blepharitis.
XDEMVY, the first FDA-approved pharmacologic treatment for Demodex blepharitis, generated net product sales of $66.4 million in Q4 2024 and $180.1 million for the full year. The product has seen broad adoption by eye care professionals across over 15,000 targets, and secured reimbursement covering more than 90% of insured lives.
While Tarsus reported a Q4 net loss of $23.1 million due to heavy investments in XDEMVY's commercial launch, management remained optimistic about the product's long-term prospects. The company is also advancing a promising pipeline, including a potential treatment for Ocular Rosacea that could drive future growth.
