“We are off to a strong start this year, achieving double-digit net sales growth in the first quarter and raising our full-year outlook, indicative of our continued strong commercial execution,” said Timothy P. Walbert, chairman, president and chief executive officer, Horizon. “In addition, during the quarter we announced dramatic teprotumumab Phase 3 trial results that support amid-year U.S. regulatory submission, a key milestone in our evolution to a development-focused rare disease biopharma company.
