Today's major events are marked by a significant late-stage failure and several key FDA approvals. BioMarin's enzyme replacement therapy missed its primary endpoint in a Phase 3 trial for a rare disease, casting doubt on its future. In contrast, AstraZeneca secured a major FDA approval for its hypertension drug baxdrostat, while also gaining a label expansion for its blockbuster Enhertu. The day also saw critical pipeline setbacks, with Alumis halting a Phase 3 program and Aardvark Therapeutics facing a full clinical hold on its Prader-Willi syndrome studies.
