Today's major events are dominated by FDA approvals. Axsome Therapeutics secured a significant label expansion for Auvelity into Alzheimer's agitation, while Pfizer and Arvinas received an early approval for Veppanu in breast cancer. In a major clinical setback, Bristol Myers Squibb's Krazati failed its confirmatory Phase 3 trial in colorectal cancer, putting its accelerated approval at risk. A landmark approval was also granted for the first dual-vector gene therapy for hearing loss.

Krazati (adagrasib) Bristol Myers Squibb Phase 3 (Confirmatory) Failed The confirmatory study in second-line colorectal cancer failed to meet its primary endpoint, placing its 2024 accelerated approval for this indication at risk.
TypePartiesValueDetail
Commercialization Partnership Sought Pfizer, Arvinas Undisclosed Following the FDA's early approval of Veppanu for breast cancer, the development partners announced their intention to find a third-party partner to handle the drug's commercialization.
The accelerated approval pathway presents both high reward and high risk; while the FDA granted an early nod to Pfizer/Arvinas' Veppanu, Bristol Myers Squibb's Krazati now faces potential withdrawal after failing its confirmatory trial.
Novel therapeutic modalities continue to break new ground, with the first-ever FDA approval of a dual-vector gene therapy for hearing loss signaling a new era for treating sensory disorders.
Label expansion remains a potent strategy for value creation, demonstrated by Axsome's successful approval of Auvelity for Alzheimer's agitation, a large and underserved market.
FDA APPROVAL
Axsome Therapeutics' Auvelity has received FDA approval for the treatment of agitation associated with Alzheimer's disease. This marks the second FDA approval for Auvelity, following its initial nod four years ago for major depressive disorder.

FDA APPROVAL
The FDA granted early approval to Veppanu, developed by Pfizer and Arvinas, for a certain breast cancer subtype. Despite this early approval, Pfizer and Arvinas intend to leave the commercialization of Veppanu to a yet-to-be-identified partner.

PHASE 3
Boehringer's dual agonist survodutide demonstrated a 16.6% weight loss in a Phase 3 trial. While this result was achieved, it fell short of the competitive bar set by existing drugs. Boehringer aims to differentiate survodutide by targeting glucagon to improve its efficacy in cutting cardiometabolic risk.
