Positive Top-Line Results from Fabry Disease Registrational Study

Sangamo announced positive top-line results from the Phase 1/2 STAAR study evaluating ST-920 for Fabry disease, with a mean eGFR slope of almost 2 at 52 weeks.
The FDA has agreed that the mean eGFR slope will serve as the primary approval endpoint under the accelerated approval pathway.
Patients who received ST-920 showed a significant improvement in renal function, with many able to withdraw from enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) and avoid over 1,000 infusions.
The study demonstrated durable expression of alpha-Gal A enzyme activity and stabilization of cardiac function, which is notable given the progressive nature of Fabry disease.
Management emphasized the potential of a single dose of ST-920 to transform patient lives, with some patients experiencing reduced pain medication use and improved quality of life.
The company plans to submit a BLA as early as Q1 2026 and will present additional data at the ICIEM2025 conference.

Strategic Focus on Phase III Readouts and Clinical Progress

The company is actively progressing towards multiple pivotal Phase III trials, including in myelofibrosis and endometrial cancer, with top-line data expected in 2026.
There is a strong emphasis on the potential of selinexor in combination with ruxolitinib to redefine the standard of care for myelofibrosis, with an estimated peak revenue potential of up to $1 billion annually in the U.S.
Management highlighted the significance of recent enrollment milestones, such as closing new patient screening for the SENTRY trial in myelofibrosis, which is a key step in their clinical development strategy.
The company is leveraging its clinical data to support regulatory and commercial ambitions, emphasizing the potential for selinexor to address unmet needs in diseases with limited treatment options.

Emi-Le Clinical Data Highlights and Tumor Response Rates

Mersana reported a 31% objective response rate (ORR) in evaluable patients with B7-H4 high tumor expression at ASCO 2025, with doses ranging from 38 to 67 mg/m².
In adenoid cystic carcinoma type 1 (ACC1), 4 confirmed responses and 1 unconfirmed response were observed among 9 evaluable patients, with a confirmed ORR of 56% after data cutoff.
The company emphasized Emi-Le's potential to address unmet needs in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients previously treated with topoisomerase 1 inhibitors, highlighting poor outcomes with current standard of care.
Data from the TNBC expansion cohort showed a 29% ORR in B7-H4 high patients, with median PFS of 16 weeks, suggesting promising efficacy beyond standard chemotherapy.
Mersana is progressing with dose expansion in TNBC, enrolling over 45 patients across two dosing regimens, with initial data expected in the second half of 2025.
The company believes the post-topo-1 TNBC opportunity is sizable, with Trodelvy expected to generate about $1 billion in 2025, and Emi-Le could serve as a subsequent line of therapy, especially as treatment landscapes evolve.

Progress and Strategic Opportunities for SGR-1505 MALT1 Inhibitor

Initial Phase I data for SGR-1505 showed a well-tolerated profile with responses in heavily pretreated CLL and Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia patients, with 3 of 17 CLL patients responding and all 5 Waldenstrom's patients responding.
The program has received FDA Fast Track designation, highlighting its potential as a promising therapeutic in refractory hematologic cancers.
Schrodinger is exploring strategic opportunities to accelerate clinical development and maximize the potential of SGR-1505, rather than pursuing independent late-stage trials.
The company plans to provide further updates on dose escalation, translational data, and regulatory feedback later this year.
The emerging profile of SGR-1505 suggests best-in-class potential, with early evidence supporting its use in refractory disease, especially in patients previously exposed to BTK and BCL2 inhibitors.

FDA Label Expansion for EMPAVELI in C3G and Primary IC-MPGN

FDA approved a label expansion for EMPAVELI for patients 12 years and older with C3 myelopathy and primary immune complex membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (IC-MPGN).
This is the company's third FDA approval in 4 years, highlighting scientific strength and regulatory success.
The approval enables treatment with a C3-targeting therapy that achieves outcomes across proteinuria reduction, eGFR stabilization, and C3 deposit clearance.
Launch is underway, expanding into rare nephrology and underserved populations, including pediatric patients and post-transplant recurrence.

Pipeline Progress and Key Study Readouts in 2025-2026

Mirum's pipeline is advancing rapidly, with three pivotal studies expected to read out over the next 24 months, including the VISTAS Phase IIb study in PSC, with topline data expected in Q2 2026.
The VISTAS study is on track to complete enrollment this quarter, with interim analysis last year providing confidence in IBAT inhibition's potential in PSC.
Additional studies, VANTAGE in PBC and EXPAND in cholestatic pruritus, are progressing well, with enrollment expected to complete in 2026.
The company is also initiating a Phase II study of MRM-3379 for Fragile X syndrome, with FDA feedback received and enrollment planned to start by year-end.

Impact of FDA Inspection Delay on EYLEA HD and BLA for Odronextamab

EYLEA HD regulatory application delays caused by FDA site inspection at Catalent Indiana LLC, which was not specific to EYLEA HD.
Novo Nordisk expects to file a comprehensive response next week, anticipating an expeditious resolution.
BLA for odronextamab, a bispecific antibody for follicular lymphoma, was impacted by the same site inspection, resulting in a Complete Response Letter (CRL) issued earlier this week.
Management remains optimistic about resolving these issues quickly based on Novo's communication and progress with third-party fillers.
