FDA approves NVS’ Leqvio—(inclisiran)—for lowering LDL-C:

NVS initially received a CRL from the FDA in late 2020 due to the FDA’s inability to conduct an inspection of the Leqvio’s manufacturing site in Italy (#msg-160327185).

Leqvio is a siRNA dosed semiannually (except for the 3-month interval between the first two doses). NVS picked up this drug when it acquired MDCO in Nov 2019 (#msg-152458295).

ALNY, which will get a 10-20% royalty on global sales, discovered Inclisiran and out-licensed it to MDCO in 2013 (#msg-84151150); with the benefit of hindsight we can say that MDCO clearly got the better of ALNY in this deal.

Leqvio was approved in the EI in late 2020 (https://www.novartis.com/news/media-releases/novartis-receives-eu-approval-leqvio-inclisiran-first-class-sirna-lower-cholesterol-two-doses-year ).

NVS plans $15B share buybacks through 2023—exhausting ~70% of the proceeds from the recent sale of Roche shares:

This might be one reason XBI was down today.

Novartis should invest in mRNA medicine and pair up with companies like Regen Biopharma to speed up this process. Perhaps an outright purchase of this start up company. This will ensure competing with likes of Pfizer and Moderna.

good news today - Novartis Says Asciminib Showed Superior MMR Rate to Bosulif in Leukemia Trial
December 08 2020 - 11:00AM
Dow Jones News

By Michael Dabaie


Novartis AG said asciminib showed superior major molecular response rate to Bosulif in a chronic myeloid leukemia trial.

The company said results from a Phase III study demonstrate that at 24 weeks, asciminib nearly doubled the major molecular response rate compared with Bosulif in patients resistant to, or intolerant of, at least two prior tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapies.

The data were presented at a late-breaking abstracts session during the 62nd American Society of Hematology Annual Meeting & Exposition, Novartis said.

In the trial, 233 patients were randomized to receive asciminib 40 mg twice daily or Bosulif 500 mg once a day.

Novartis said the U.S. Food and Drug Administration granted Fast Track designation for asciminib. The company said it plans submission to U.S. and EU health authorities in the first half of 2021.

What am I missing here? Why is no one talking about Novartis for their hydroxychloroquine?

[DewDiligence]

NVS concedes Beovu has new safety issue:

https://www.brolucizumab.info/

Novartis has now completed its review of these post-marketing safety case reports… Based on internal and SRC assessment, it was concluded that there is a confirmed safety signal of rare adverse events of “retinal vasculitis and/or retinal vascular occlusion with or without presence of intraocular inflammation that may result in severe vision loss.”

Based on this review, Novartis has initiated a safety information update to Beovu prescribing information worldwide. Currently approved prescribing information includes intraocular inflammations, visual acuity decrease (including blindness) and retinal artery occlusion as separate terms. We will work with regulatory authorities to finalize the prescribing information update.

In addition, we are working with our data monitoring committees and informing investigators of ongoing clinical trials. Novartis-sponsored studies will be amended so that protocols, Informed Consent Forms and Investigator Brochures reflect this new safety information. Investigators are also being informed to re-consent patients.

[Maddog 112]

Ok thank you

[DewDiligence]

It won't have any effect at all on the share price. It's a goodwill gesture and it's the right thing to do morally.

[Maddog 112]

How much will this affect the stock price 160 mil pills at 4$ is a lot of money

[DewDiligence]

Yes—that was announced on Friday: #msg-154462215.

[DewDiligence]

Acceptance of a BLA/NDA application for review doesn’t generally move the needle for a company as large as NVS unless the FDA grants a priority review when investors expected a standard review, which wasn’t the case here.

5.5% drop on a biotech drug firm like NVS 8 days before the dividend date looks way over done to me with Biotechs in favor and nothing but Good news today and recently on NVS.

Panic selling seems way over done. But then again panics are like that.
