Amgen's Adcomm Meeting Paves Way To Launch Boost For Mirati Therapeutics' Lung Cancer Drug: Analysts
Portfolio Pulse from Vandana Singh
Sanofi SA is reportedly considering the acquisition of Mirati Therapeutics Inc, which could strengthen Sanofi's drug pipeline and reduce its reliance on asthma medicine Dupixent. This would also aid Mirati in commercializing Krazati and funding further studies. Mirati's Krazati received FDA accelerated approval in December, but European regulators issued a negative opinion. Meanwhile, FDA advisers concluded that data from a late-stage trial lacked the requisite reliability to endorse the traditional approval of Amgen Inc's Lumakras. Analysts believe this could provide a positive boost to Krazati's launch and short-term adoption rate.
