Gilead Sciences Inc (GILD) has agreed to acquire CymaBay Therapeutics Inc (CBAY) for $4.3 billion, aiming to enhance its liver disease portfolio with CymaBay's seladelpar for primary biliary cholangitis (PBC). Despite the acquisition not being a major game-changer for Gilead, it's seen as a low-risk move that leverages Gilead's strong commercial capabilities in liver diseases. Seladelpar's potential in addressing pruritus could differentiate it in the PBC market. Baird maintains a Neutral rating on GILD with an $80 price target.

Intercept Pharmaceuticals, a subsidiary of Alfasigma S.p.A., has announced new data from a sub-analysis of the Phase 3 POISE trial, which evaluates the impact of obeticholic acid (OCA) on liver biomarkers GGT and ALP in the treatment of primary biliary cholangitis (PBC). The findings suggest that OCA can reduce GGT and ALP levels below thresholds that predict improved outcomes, including survival, in PBC. The data will be presented at the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases' The Liver Meeting® in Boston.

The European Medicines Agency (EMA) has begun a review of Ocaliva, a medicine used to treat primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), following the results of two studies. The studies failed to show that Ocaliva was more effective than a placebo, and side effects, including serious ones, occurred more frequently in patients treated with Ocaliva. The EMA will assess the impact of these findings on the overall benefit-risk balance of Ocaliva and make a recommendation on whether the medicine's marketing authorisation in the EU should be amended.
