5. Tenapanor
Small biotech Ardelyx should be only a few weeks away from some big news. The FDA is scheduled to announce an approval decision for tenapanor in treating irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (IBS-C) by Sept. 12, 2019.
EvaluatePharma expects that the drug could pull in nearly $700 million annually by 2024 if it's approved. Ardelyx hopes that the IBS-C is only the first of two approved indications for tenapanor. The company is also evaluating the drug in a phase 3 clinical study for treating hyperphosphatemia in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) who are on dialysis.
Big impacts
FDA approvals for lumateperone and tenapanor would definitely have huge impacts for Intra-Cellular Therapies and Ardelyx. Neither company has an approved product on the market yet.
