FDA Declines To Approve Expanded Use of Dynavax's Hepatitis B Vaccine In Hemodialysis Patients
Portfolio Pulse from Vandana Singh
The FDA declined to approve Dynavax Technologies Corporation's (DVAX) supplemental Biologics License Application for a four-dose HEPLISAV-B vaccine regimen for adults on hemodialysis, citing insufficient data. The decision does not affect the current approvals of HEPLISAV-B in the U.S., EU, and Great Britain, nor the recent approval in the EU for the hemodialysis population. Dynavax intends to meet with the FDA to discuss additional data support. Despite this, HEPLISAV-B's net product revenue increased, and its U.S. market share grew in the first quarter of 2024.

The FDA's rejection of Dynavax's expanded use application for HEPLISAV-B may temporarily impact investor sentiment, despite the vaccine's growing revenue and market share. The company's proactive approach to address the FDA's concerns could mitigate long-term negative effects.
The FDA's decision directly impacts Dynavax's potential market expansion for HEPLISAV-B, likely causing short-term stock volatility. However, the company's positive revenue trend and strategic response may reassure investors about its long-term prospects.
