On Thursday, the FDA approved Bristol Myers Squibb &amp; Co&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BMY#NYSE">BMY</a>) Opdivo&nbsp;(nivolumab) for resectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and no known epidermal growth factor&nbsp;receptor (EGFR) mutations or anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) rearrangements, for neoadjuvant treatment, in combination with platinum-doublet chemotherapy,&nbsp;followed by single-agent&nbsp;Opdivo&nbsp;as adjuvant <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/10/b41176061/u-s-food-and-drug-administration-approves-perioperative-treatment-of-neoadjuvant-opdivo-nivolumab-" rel="noreferrer noopener">treatment after surgery</a>.
The approval is based on results from the CheckMate-77T trial, the company&#8217;s second Phase 3 trial with an immunotherapy-based combination for resectable NSCLC.
Opdivo&nbsp;is now the only PD-1 inhibitor to demonstrate statistically significant and clinically meaningful benefits in this disease versus chemotherapy in both a neoadjuvant-only regimen and as part of a perioperative regimen.

The risk of disease recurrence, progression, or death was reduced by 42% in patients treated in the&nbsp;Opdivo&nbsp;arm, compared to the chemotherapy and placebo arm, with a median follow-up of 25.4 months.
In addition, 18-month event-free survival (EFS) was demonstrated in 70% of patients in the&nbsp;Opdivo&nbsp;arm, compared to 50% in the chemotherapy and placebo arm.
Furthermore, 25% of patients in the&nbsp;Opdivo&nbsp;arm achieved pathologic response (pCR) in the intent-to-treat population, while 4.7% of patients in the comparator arm achieved pCR.
As the U.S. pharma giant seeks to cover itself from the patent cliff related to top-selling drugs Eliquis (apixaban) and Opdivo (nivolumab), the company recently received FDA approval for Cobenfy (xanomeline and trospium chloride, KarXT), an oral medication for&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/09/41073709/absence-of-black-box-warning-for-bristol-myers-schizophrenia-treatment-could-enhanc" rel="noreferrer noopener">schizophrenia in adults</a>.

Opdivo&#8217;s U.S. patent loss is expected in 2028, Europe in 2030, and Japan in 2031.
Another cancer drug, Yervoy&nbsp;(ipilimumab), is expected to lose market exclusivity in 2025 in the U.S. and Japan and 2026 in Europe.

This Is What Whales Are Betting On Bristol-Myers Squibb

On Tuesday, IGM Biosciences Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IGMS#NASDAQ">IGMS</a>) announced a strategic pivot and pipeline transformation to accelerate and deepen its leadership in developing T cell-engaging IgM antibodies <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/09/g41103117/igm-biosciences-announces-strategic-pivot-to-focus-exclusively-on-autoimmunity" rel="noreferrer noopener">for autoimmune diseases</a>.
The company&#8217;s lead candidates include imvotamab, which is being developed for rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and myositis, and IGM-2644, which is expected to enter a clinical study for generalized myasthenia gravis by the end of 2024.
IGM to minimize future spending on aplitabart and other oncology candidates.&nbsp;
In light of the emerging data from the company&#8217;s ongoing randomized clinical trial of aplitabart in second-line metastatic colorectal cancer, together with the significant opportunity in autoimmunity, the company has decided to reduce workforce and minimize its future spending on the research and clinical development of aplitabart and other oncology candidates.
The company expected to release aplitabart top-line progression-free survival results from randomized colorectal cancer trial by the end of the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/08/g40362024/igm-biosciences-announces-second-quarter-2024-financial-results-and-provides-corporate-update" rel="noreferrer noopener">first quarter of 2025</a>.
As a result of these actions, IGM believes it can extend its current cash runway into 2027.
As part of the company&#8217;s strategic pivot to autoimmunity, Fred Schwarzer, CEO, President, and Director, and Bruce Keyt, chief scientific officer, will step down from their current roles.
IGM has appointed ex-Bristol Myers Squibb &amp; Co&#8217;s executive (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BMY#NYSE">BMY</a>) Mary Beth Harler as the CEO.
Chris Takimoto, Chief Medical Officer, has also announced to step down.
Price Action: IGMS stock is down 13.20% at $14.36&nbsp;at the last check on Tuesday.

IGM Biosciences' New Found Focus: Pivots From Cancer To Autoimmune Diseases, Names New CEO

Edgewise Therapeutics (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ewtx#NASDAQ">EWTX</a>) is a small-cap <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/compare-stocks/pharmaceutical-stocks/">pharmaceutical stock</a> that has been all the rage recently. Shares are up 55% in the last three months and up 332% over the past 52 weeks. Yet, with still only a market cap of $2.4 billion, is there still time to get in? I&#39;ll examine recent news around the company, its <a href="https://edgewisetx.com/science-pipeline/pipeline/">drug pipeline</a>, and what Wall Street is saying to get a better handle on this question.
<h3>Edgewise&#39;s Muscular Dystrophy Treatments Have Large Market Than Others</h3>
Edgewise currently has two drugs that are driving the company. They are Sevasemten and EDG-7500. The company is researching Sevasemten to treat muscular dystrophy (MD). One interesting thing about this medicine is that it is being researched to treat multiple types of MD.
Specifically, it is currently in Phase 3 trials to treat Becker MD and in Phase 2 trials for Duchenne MD. Many medicines are being researched only on one form of MD. So, the possibility that they could apply to both is a strong differentiator for the company.
However, this is likely because the treatment manages symptoms. It does not target the genetic cause of Duchenne MD. The root cause of Duchenne and Becker is different, but the symptoms are similar.
Still, this treatment could be valuable and could theoretically be used in conjunction with genetic treatments. The focus on treatment management opens the product up to the entire MD market rather than a sliver of it; another potential benefit.
In its latest results for Becker, the drug showed it actually slightly improved muscle function after 24 months. Those given a placebo showed significantly worse function. Becker MD currently has no approved treatments. The company estimates there are currently around 47,000 people with one of the diseases in the US, EU, and Japan combined.
<h3>&nbsp;EDG-7500 Results Show It Keeps Up With The Competition</h3>
The company&#39;s other main drug, EDG-7500, is a cardiovascular medicine. Specifically, it works to treat hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Recent good news around this drug was why shares of Edgewise <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stock-ideas/edgewise-therapeutics-soars-50-key-reasons-behind-the-surge/">jumped 50% in one day</a>. HCM primarily affects the left ventricle of the heart, causing its walls to thicken. The left ventricle is the main pumping station of the heart. pumped. The thickening makes it hard for the left ventricle to pump blood and can result in heart failure.
On average, the study revealed that a biomarker linked to heart stress decreased by 64%. Another measurement of how well the heart is pumping blood is the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF).
The results showed that all the patients maintained a normal level of LVEF. Thus, the treatment reduced stress on the heart without interfering with its ability to pump. The market for this treatment is much larger, affecting up to 630,000 people in the United States alone.
However, HCM does have an approved treatment: <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NYSE/BMY/">Bristol Myers Squibb&#39;s (NYSE: </a><a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/bmy#NYSE">BMY</a>) Camzyos. The drug showed a <a href="https://news.bms.com/news/corporate-financial/2022/Mavacamten-Demonstrated-Significant-Reduction-in-Need-for-Septal-Reduction-Therapy-in-Symptomatic-Obstructive-HCM-Patients-in-Phase-3-VALOR-Trial/default.aspx#:~:text=Improvement%20in%20biomarkers%20of%20cardiac,greater%20(p%3C0.0001).">67% reduction</a> in the same biomarker as EDG-7500. However, a very small number of patients did see their LVEF levels fall below normal. At this point, the drugs appear to have similar levels of safety and efficacy. Two and a half years ago, Camzyos received approval. It generated $139 million last quarter, up by 184% from the previous year.
<a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NASDAQ/CYTK/">Cytokinetics&#39; (NASDAQ: </a><a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/cytk#NASDAQ">CYTK</a>) aficamten, another competitor, is further along but has yet to receive approval. <a href="https://www.fiercebiotech.com/biotech/edgewise-therapeutics-heart-med-candidate-sends-shares-soaring-early-data">According to Fierce Biotech</a>, analysts at Mizuho Securities say the results of the two drugs look similar.
When it comes to Wall Street, several analysts still see significant upside in Edgewise. At least four firms have increased their price targets on Edgewise since it released Phase 2 results for EDG-7500.
Based on the average of those four targets, the implied upside of Edgewise is 55%, based on the Sept. 24 closing price of nearly $26. The most bullish analyst, Wedbush, thinks Edgewise could rise 70%.
<h3>Final Thoughts On Edgewise</h3>
At the end of the day, the party is certainly not over for Edgewise until it is. More good news about the drug treatments would continue to boost the stock price. But, it will take a long time for sales to justify its high valuation. The probability of treatments getting approved is low, at around <a href="https://www.cbo.gov/publication/57126#:~:text=Only%20about%2012%20percent%20of,than%20%242%20billion%20per%20drug.">12% on average</a>.
The results of EDG-7500 do show promise not only in their comparability to the already approved treatment but also in the revenue that Bristol-Myers has demonstrated. However, with Sevasemten in Phase 3 trials for Becker MD, the company could be the first to get an approved treatment in that market.

Prime Medicine Inks Cell Therapy Pact With Bristol Myers Squibb Worth Over $3.5B, Streamlines Pipeline

Under the terms of the agreement, Prime Medicine will design optimized Prime Editor reagents for a select number of targets, including reagents that use its Prime Assisted Site-Specific Integrase Gene Editing (PASSIGE) technology.
Bristol Myers Squibb will be responsible for development, manufacturing and commercialization of the next generation cell therapies, with support from Prime Medicine in gene editing strategy and reagent development.

Prime Medicine Enters Strategic Research Collaboration And License Agreement With Bristol Myers Squibb; Prime Medicine To Receive $110M Upfront, With Potential For More Than $3.5B In Milestones

On Thursday, the FDA approved&nbsp;Bristol Myers Squibb&nbsp;&amp; Co&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BMY#NYSE">BMY</a>)&nbsp;Cobenfy (xanomeline and trospium chloride, KarXT), an oral medication for&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/09/41064867/schizophrenia-treatment-revolution-fda-approves-bristol-myers-squibb-cobenfy-as-new-class-of-trea" rel="noreferrer noopener">schizophrenia in adults</a>.
BMO Capital analyst notes that the FDA approval without a boxed warning is a significant positive for Bristol Myers shares.
The analyst notes that given that many prior antipsychotic medications received black box warnings due to increased mortality risks, particularly in elderly patients, Cobenfy&#8217;s absence of such a warning could significantly enhance its potential in treating Alzheimer&#8217;s related-psychosis, pending further clinical trials.
BMO projects peak sales of $2.4 billion for Cobenfy in schizophrenia and $3.9 billion in Alzheimer&#8217;s related-psychosis, raising the price target to $53 from $48, with a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/BMY/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">Market Perform rating</a>.
The analyst notes that Cobenfy will be priced at $1,850 for a 30-day supply or $22,500/year, representing a discount to previous expectations.
Truist Securities highlights that AbbVie Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABBV#NYSE">ABBV</a>) is also advancing emraclidine as a treatment for schizophrenia and Alzheimer&#8217;s disease-related psychosis.
According to Truist analysts, emraclidine differs from KarXT in its mechanism of action.
Despite emerging competition, Truist points out that KarXT holds a first-mover advantage and is ahead by at least two to three years.
Truist maintains the Buy rating and a price target of $62.
William Blair projects peak U.S. sales for Cobenfy to reach approximately $2 billion by 2030, driven solely by its use in treating schizophrenia.
However, if the drug is approved for additional indications, such as Alzheimer-related psychosis and adjunctive schizophrenia—both currently in Phase 3 trials—annual sales could rise to around $3 billion to $5 billion, pending positive results.
The analyst points out that although the label lacks a black box warning, it does include caution for urinary retention, elevated heart rate, reduced gastric motility, and angioedema.
Price Action: BMY stock is up 2.33% at $51.29&nbsp;at the last check on Friday.

BMO Capital Maintains Market Perform on Bristol-Myers Squibb, Raises Price Target to $53

In August, the Federal Reserve's preferred inflation gauge, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s/24/09/41066122/feds-preferred-inflation-gauge-comes-in-below-expectations-for-august-easing-concerns-about-rising-p">Personal Consumption Expenditures </a>(PCE) Price Index, rose 2.2% year-over-year, coming in below analyst expectations of 2.3%. That&#8217;s down from July's 2.5%.
The core PCE, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, increased by 2.7% year-over-year, matching forecasts and slightly higher than July's 2.6%.
This decline in overall inflation, despite steady core inflation, suggests a potential easing of price pressures, even as costs for services like housing and financial services continue to rise.

Rising costs in services, particularly in housing, financial services, and insurance, were the key drivers of inflation, pushing the overall PCE index higher. While service prices surged, goods prices saw a slight decline, helping to offset some of the inflationary pressure. Meanwhile, falling energy prices, especially gasoline, provided additional relief compared to previous periods of stronger inflationary impact from energy.
Food prices increased modestly, primarily in off-premises consumption like groceries, but their effect on inflation was smaller compared to services. 
Core inflation, which excludes food and energy, remained steady due to ongoing price increases in durable goods and essential services. Despite minor declines in goods prices, rising service costs <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/inflation">kept core inflation elevated</a>.

14 Stocks Gain Momentum As August Inflation Comes In Below Expectations

On Thursday, the FDA approved Bristol Myers Squibb&nbsp;&amp; Co&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BMY#NYSE">BMY</a>) Cobenfy (xanomeline and trospium chloride, KarXT), an oral medication for <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/09/b41059140/u-s-food-and-drug-administration-approves-bristol-myers-squibbs-cobenfy-xanomeline-and-trospium-ch" rel="noreferrer noopener">schizophrenia in adults</a>.
Bristol-Myers added the treatment via Karuna Therapeutics deal for $330 per share in cash for a total equity <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/23/12/36388646/bristol-myers-acquisition-of-karuna-therapeutics-paves-way-for-aggressive-global-marketing-of-ka" rel="noreferrer noopener">value of $14 billion</a>.
Cobenfy represents the first new class of medicine in several decades and introduces a fundamentally new approach to treating schizophrenia by selectively targeting M1&nbsp;and M4&nbsp;receptors in the brain without blocking D2&nbsp;receptors.
&#8220;Today&#8217;s landmark approval of our <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/09/40964682/bristol-myers-acquired-drug-karxt-poised-for-fda-approval-as-first-new-type-of-schizophrenia-trea" rel="noreferrer noopener">first-in-class treatment</a> for schizophrenia marks an important milestone for the community, where after more than 30 years, there is now an entirely new pharmacological approach for schizophrenia — one that has the potential to change the treatment paradigm,&#8221; said&nbsp;Chris Boerner, board chair and CEO at Bristol Myers Squibb.
Schizophrenia is estimated to impact approximately 2.8 million people in the U.S.
The FDA approval of Cobenfy is supported by data from the EMERGENT clinical program, which includes three placebo-controlled efficacy and safety trials and two open-label trials evaluating the long-term safety and tolerability of COBENFY for up to one year.
In Phase 3 EMERGENT-2 and EMERGENT-3 trials, Cobenfy met its primary endpoint, demonstrating statistically significant reductions of schizophrenia symptoms compared to placebo, as measured by the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) total score change from baseline to week five.
Cobenfy demonstrated a 9.6-point reduction (-21.2 Cobenfy vs. -11.6 placebo) and an 8.4-point reduction (-20.6 Cobenfy vs. -12.2 placebo) in PANSS total score compared to placebo at week five in EMERGENT-2 and EMERGENT-3, respectively.
In EMERGENT-2, Cobenfy demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in illness from baseline to week five.
Cobenfy was invented at PureTech Health Plc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PRTC#NASDAQ">PRTC</a>). FDA approval triggers two separate milestone payments to PureTech <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/09/b41060406/puretech-invented-karxt-receives-u-s-food-and-drug-administration-approval-for-the-treatment-of-sc" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">totaling $29 million</a>.
Price Action: BMY stock is up 6.34% at $53.30 during the premarket session at last check Friday.

Why Establishment Labs Shares Are Trading Higher By Around 28%; Here Are 20 Stocks Moving Premarket

Sentiment has soured ahead of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/previews/24/09/41054701/inflation-data-will-be-watched-like-a-hawk-friday-after-feds-interest-rate-cuts">key inflation data that is due ahead of the market open </a>on Friday, with the index futures pointing to a modestly lower opening. A fairly benign data could keep the upward trajectory intact ahead of next week&#8217;s key labor market data. Stocks are on track to finish September, a seasonally weaker month, on a positive note, and election uncertainty could weigh down on the market in the upcoming month. The focus would shift to the third-quarter reporting season in the latter half of October.

Cues From Last Session:
U.S. stocks advanced on Thursday as traders digested a slew of economic data, Chinese stimulus that set the Asian markets on fire and Micron Technology, Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MU#NASDAQ">MU</a>) earnings. A sharp drawdown in the shares of Super Micro Computer, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMCI#NASDAQ">SMCI</a>) on the back of the news of a Department of Justice probe tempered optimism toward the tech stocks.
The major indices opened sharply higher after separate reports showed jobless claims fell in the recent reporting week, durable goods orders remained flat, belying expectations for a decline, and the second-quarter GDP data was left unrevised at 3%.
The indices squandered the early gains but remained mostly above the unchanged line for the rest of the session before closing higher for the day.
The S&amp;P 500 scored another record intraday and closing highs, with nine of the 11 S&amp;P 500 sector classes closing higher. Material stocks advanced notably, while energy stocks came under significant selling pressure.

Insights From Analysts:
LPL Chief Economist Jeffrey Roach said in a note he anticipates a period of higher volatility among both bonds and equities during the present period of global uncertainty and softer growth outlook. &#8220;We expect volatility to remain elevated over the next few months, and believe a better entry point back into the longer-term bull market is likely,&#8221; he said.
The economist said the long and variable lag of monetary policy is not perfectly symmetrical, and it could take time for the monetary stimulus to filter down from Wall Street to Main Street. &#8220;Portfolio allocators should consider keeping a domestic bias during these periods of flux,&#8221; he added.
With just two sessions to go for September, the S&amp;P 500 is up about 17.2% for the month-to-date period. Carson Group Chief Investment Strategist Ryan Detrick underlined a positive aspect of it. If the index finishes September in the green, it would mark gains for eight of the nine months of 2024. Going back into history, this has occurred nine other times and in those years, the index posted gains for the fourth quarter all nine times. The average gain is a decent 6.7%.

"Today's landmark approval of our first-in-class treatment for schizophrenia marks an important milestone for the community, where after more than 30 years, there is now an entirely new pharmacological approach for schizophrenia — one that has the potential to change the treatment paradigm," said <a href="https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bms.com%2Fabout-us%2Fleadership%2Fleadership-team%2Fchris-boerner.html&amp;esheet=54127503&amp;newsitemid=20240925382351&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=Chris+Boerner%2C+PhD&amp;index=2&amp;md5=6642d2f3554dd82aeef370702f1e3416">Chris Boerner, PhD</a>, board chair and chief executive officer at Bristol Myers Squibb. "As we reenter the field of neuropsychiatry, we are dedicated to changing the conversation around serious mental illness, beginning with today's approval in schizophrenia."
Schizophrenia is a persistent and often disabling mental illness affecting how a person thinks, feels and behaves.5 It is estimated to impact approximately 2.8 million people in the United States.6 Symptoms typically first appear in early adulthood and present differently in each person, making symptoms difficult to diagnose and manage.6 While the current standard of care can be effective in managing symptoms of schizophrenia, up to 60% of people experience inadequate improvement in symptoms or intolerable side effects during therapy.7
"For people living with schizophrenia, it's often difficult to find a treatment that works for them. Having a variety of treatment options gives patients and healthcare providers the tools to help manage this serious condition," said Gordon Lavigne, chief executive officer of the Schizophrenia &amp; Psychosis Action Alliance. "People living with schizophrenia want and deserve more. Today's approval provides a new option as people with schizophrenia move forward with proper support to rebuild their lives."
The FDA approval of COBENFY is supported by data from the EMERGENT clinical program, which includes three placebo-controlled efficacy and safety trials and two open-label trials evaluating the long-term safety and tolerability of COBENFY for up to one year. In the Phase 3 EMERGENT-2 and EMERGENT-3 trials, COBENFY met its primary endpoint, demonstrating statistically significant reductions of schizophrenia symptoms compared to placebo, as measured by the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) total score change from baseline to week five. COBENFY demonstrated a 9.6-point reduction (-21.2 COBENFY vs. -11.6 placebo, p&lt;0.0001) and an 8.4-point reduction (-20.6 COBENFY vs. -12.2 placebo; p&lt;0.0001) in PANSS total score compared to placebo at week five in EMERGENT-2 and EMERGENT-3, respectively. In EMERGENT-2, COBENFY demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in illness from baseline to week five, as measured by the Clinical Global Impression-Severity (CGI-S) score, a secondary endpoint in the trial.1
The safety and tolerability profile of COBENFY has been established across acute and long-term trials. In the Phase 3 EMERGENT-2 and EMERGENT-3 trials, the most common adverse reactions (≥5% and at least twice placebo) were nausea, dyspepsia, constipation, vomiting, hypertension, abdominal pain, diarrhea, tachycardia, dizziness and gastroesophageal reflux disease.1 COBENFY does not have atypical antipsychotic class warnings and precautions and does not have a boxed warning.
"Due to its heterogeneous nature, schizophrenia is not a one-size-fits-all condition, and people often find themselves in a cycle of discontinuing and switching therapies," said Rishi Kakar, MD, chief scientific officer and medical director at Segal Trials and investigator in the EMERGENT program. "The approval of COBENFY is a transformative moment in the treatment of schizophrenia because, historically, medicines approved to treat schizophrenia have relied on the same primary pathways in the brain. By leveraging a novel pathway, COBENFY offers a new option to manage this challenging condition."
The Company today also announced the launch of COBENFY Cares&#x2122;, a program designed to support patients who have been prescribed COBENFY. Patients will be able to enroll in the COBENFY Cares program in late October corresponding with product availability. The COBENFY Cares phone number is 1-877-COBENFY.

FDA Approves Bristol Myers Squibb's COBENFY, First New Schizophrenia Drug in Decades

Today, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved Cobenfy (xanomeline and trospium chloride) capsules for oral use for the treatment of schizophrenia in adults. It is the first antipsychotic drug approved to treat schizophrenia that targets cholinergic receptors as opposed to dopamine receptors, which has long been the standard of care.

FDA Earlier Announced Approval Of Bristol-Myers Squibb's Cobenfy With New Mechanism Of Action For Treatment Of Schizophrenia

On Thursday, 26 September, the FDA's Oncologic Drugs Advisory Committee will discuss the use of immune checkpoint inhibitors in patients with unresectable or metastatic gastric and gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma and esophageal <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/08/40534057/cancer-medicines-from-merck-bristol-myers-and-beigene-in-question-as-fda-committee-to-discuss-lim" rel="noreferrer noopener">squamous cell carcinoma</a>.
The FDA <a target="_blank" href="https://www.fda.gov/advisory-committees/advisory-committee-calendar/september-26-2024-meeting-oncologic-drugs-advisory-committee-meeting-announcement-09262024" rel="noreferrer noopener">notes</a> that the current labeling for approved checkpoint inhibitors in this indication reflects broad approvals in the intent to treat patient populations agnostic of programmed death cell ligand-1 (PD-L1) expression.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/08/40534057/cancer-medicines-from-merck-bristol-myers-and-beigene-in-question-as-fda-committee-to-discuss-lim" rel="noreferrer noopener">Cancer Medicines From Merck, Bristol Myers And BeiGene In Question, As FDA Committee To Discuss Limiting PD-1 Drugs For Stomach Cancer</a>.
Cumulative data has shown that PD-L1 expression appears to be a predictive biomarker of treatment efficacy in this patient population; however, clinical trials have used different approaches to assess PD-L1 expression and different thresholds to define PD-L1 positivity.
The review includes existing approvals for&nbsp;Bristol Myers Squibb Co's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BMY#NYSE">BMY</a>)&nbsp;Opdivo (nivolumab) and Yervoy (ipilimumab),&nbsp;Merck &amp; Co Inc.'s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRK#NYSE">MRK</a>)&nbsp;Keytruda (pembrolizumab), and pending applications for&nbsp;BeiGene Inc's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BGNE#NASDAQ">BGNE</a>)&nbsp;Tevimbra (tislelizumab).
In a&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.fda.gov/media/182138/download" rel="noreferrer noopener">briefing document</a>, the FDA indicated that combining immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) with standard chemotherapy does not seem to offer benefits for patients with PD-L1 expression below 1%. Patients with PD-L1 levels of 10% or higher experience the most significant benefit.
The advantages remain unclear for those with PD-L1 levels between 1% and 10%, and interpreting the data is difficult.
Given that patients with low or absent PD-L1 expression are unlikely to benefit, administering anti-PD-1 therapy may introduce risks, including severe immune-related adverse effects, which can further diminish the quality of life in individuals already dealing with malignancy.
"Although these results are exploratory &#8230; strong evidence does not appear to support the use of anti-PD-L1 drugs in patients with low PD-L1 expression," the FDA <a target="_blank" href="https://www.fda.gov/media/182143/download" rel="noreferrer noopener">said</a>.

FDA Casts Doubt On Use Of Merck, Bristol Myers' PD-1 Cancer Drugs For Certain Type Of Gastric Cancer Patients

2seventy bio, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSVT#NASDAQ">TSVT</a>)&nbsp;and its partner Bristol Myers Squibb &amp; Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BMY#NYSE">BMY</a>), will discontinue enrollment in its ongoing Phase 3 KarMMa-9 study of Abecma&nbsp;(idecabtagene vicleucel; ide-cel) with lenalidomide maintenance versus lenalidomide maintenance alone for newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM) who have suboptimal response to autologous <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/09/b41020153/2seventy-bio-provides-update-on-karmma-9-study-and-previews-anticipated-strong-third-quarter-reven" rel="noreferrer noopener">stem cell transplant</a>.
"Consistent with our focus on capital allocation and creating value for all stakeholders, we anticipate this decision will conserve over $80 million in near-term expenditures and accelerate our path to breakeven in 2025," said Chip Baird, CEO of 2seventy bio.

2seventy also reported continued positive momentum in&nbsp;Abecma's expected return to growth in the earlier line setting following the FDA's approval in April 2024.
The company expects third-quarter&nbsp;Abecma&nbsp;U.S. revenue growth of approximately 30%&nbsp;from second-quarter revenue of $54 million. Demand, as measured by new patients undergoing apheresis in the third quarter, is also expected to reflect double-digit growth compared to the second quarter of 2024.
William Blair says while expectations for Abecma are generally low for investors at this point, the ability to maximize the opportunity in the current label would offset concerns about the fixed costs of the cell therapy franchise.
2seventy bio and BMS share equally in all profits and losses related to the development, manufacturing, and commercialization of&nbsp;Abecma&nbsp;in the U.S.
Overall, the announcement suggests moving CAR-T therapies into the earliest lines of treatment may have headwinds given the strong current standard of care. Therefore, we think thoughtful trial designs that reflect the changing standard of care will have the greatest potential of maximizing the CAR-T total addressable market."
Recently, Novo Nordisk A/S (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVO#NYSE">NVO</a>) acquired the Hemophilia A program and rights to 2seventy's in vivo gene editing technology outside of oncology and gene editing for autologous or allogeneic cell therapies of immune&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/06/39532373/novo-nordisk-buys-2seventys-hemophilia-a-program-divestiture-supports-exclusive-focus-on-abecma" rel="noreferrer noopener">cells for autoimmune disease</a>.
2seventy bio will focus exclusively on the commercialization and continued development of&nbsp;Abecma.
Price Action: TSVT stock is down 7.65% at $4.41, and BMY stock is down 2.90% at $49.47 at last check Wednesday.
