CEO of OPTN, Peter Miller commented:

In the first quarter of 2021, XHANCE’s net sales rose by 55% from the same period in 2020 which definitely is a significant development, mainly due to the ongoing effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the amount of patients coming to physician offices and also the constraints because to a pandemic that appear to limit OPTN’s territory managers’ in-person detailing of physician offices. OPTN assume that improving the market climate is only one aspect that will help XHANCE expand in the second half of 2021. The two most important goals for OPTN right now are XHANCE development and the finalization of the clinical trials testing it for the treatment of chronic sinusitis, and OPTN is working together to achieve them.
