Bulevirtide Raised the Bar: Mirum's Brelovitug Phase 3 Win Faces a Market That Expects More

Mirum's brelovitug hit its Phase 3 endpoint in hepatitis delta, but Gilead's Hepcludex already holds the US approval and Vir's program is in flight. A strong readout no longer guarantees the market follows.

Onswik Makes Weekly Insulin a Two-Horse Race, and Now the Hard Question Begins

Lilly's once-weekly insulin Onswik is the second FDA approval in a six-month window, after Novo's Awiqli. Both won on non-inferiority data, leaving the real question open: whether weekly dosing actually improves insulin initiation and adherence.

Why Lyrfigtu's FGFR2 Selectivity Matters More Than Its 46% Response Rate

FDA cleared lirafugratinib (Lyrfigtu) for FGFR2-altered cholangiocarcinoma after ReFocus posted a 46% response rate. The clinical argument is FGFR1 sparing. The cost is months of mandatory retinal monitoring.

Celldex Clears Chronic Hives in Half of Phase 3 Patients at an Anaphylaxis Cost

Barzolvolimab cleared hives in about half of Phase 3 CSU patients by week 24, including many Xolair failures, but two anaphylaxis cases sent Celldex shares down 13% ahead of a 2027 BLA.

Why Iambic's Nasdaq Filing Will Be Priced on IAM1363, Not Enchant

Iambic Therapeutics filed for a Nasdaq IPO the same morning it announced an AbbVie collaboration. Public markets will still judge the company on whether its brain-penetrant HER2 inhibitor holds up against Enhertu and Tukysa.

How a Modified Leucine Derivative Unlocked Ataxia-Telangiectasia’s First FDA Clearance

IntraBio’s Aqneursa cleared the FDA as the first treatment for ataxia-telangiectasia on a -1.88 SARA point crossover win, treating downstream neurodegeneration rather than an intractable 305 kDa kinase defect.

Lilly Validates CDK4/6 Continuation in ESR1 Breast Cancer at an 86% Toxicity Cost

FDA approved Lilly's Inluriyo plus Verzenio for ESR1-mutated ER+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer after endocrine progression, doubling median PFS to 11.1 months in EMBER-3. The clinical gain comes with 86% diarrhea and neutropenia rates, challenging early liquid biopsy switching models.

Why the FDA Granted Full Approval to Fayuvi on Seventeen Patients

Ultragenyx's AAV9 gene therapy is the first treatment for Sanfilippo syndrome Type A. Full approval on 17 treated children against a natural history control now collides with a diagnostic window most families still miss.

FDA Cleared the First Lutathera Copy. The Hot Lab Is the Real Trial

Curium’s Bexlutry is the first 505(b)(2) radioligand equivalent. The regulatory shortcut is done. Hospital clocks, isotope supply, and a pending $8 billion merger now decide whether Novartis’s NET franchise actually erodes.
