In other recent news, Savara Inc. has completed its Biologics License Application (BLA) submission to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for MOLBREEVI, a drug aimed at treating autoimmune pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (aPAP). The company has requested a Priority Review, which could expedite the FDA’s review process. Savara’s CEO, Matt Pauls, expressed optimism about the drug’s efficacy, as clinical trials have shown significant improvements in lung function and quality of life for patients. The drug has also received various designations, including Fast Track and Breakthrough Therapy from the FDA. Analysts from H.C. Wainwright and JMP Securities have maintained positive outlooks on Savara, with price targets of $6 and $9, respectively, citing the potential approval and commercial launch of MOLBREEVI.
Additionally, Savara recently terminated its sales agreement with Evercore Group L.L.C., which allowed the sale of common stock through at-the-market offerings. This decision, effective in April 2025, does not incur penalties for the company. Meanwhile, retrospective data on molgramostim, the active ingredient in MOLBREEVI, suggests significant therapeutic benefits for aPAP patients, potentially reducing the need for whole lung lavage, a current treatment. Savara aims to file a Marketing Authorization Application in Europe by the end of 2025.
