Savara Inc. (SVRA) has completed the submission of its Biologics License Application (BLA) to the FDA for MOLBREEVI, a potential first-ever treatment for autoimmune Pulmonary Alveolar Proteinosis (aPAP). The company has requested Priority Review, which could reduce FDA review time from ten to six months.
The IMPALA-2 trial demonstrated statistically significant improvements in lung function, meeting its primary endpoint of improved pulmonary gas exchange (DLCO) at Week 24, with sustained benefits through Week 48. The treatment showed clinical benefits in respiratory quality (SGRQ scores) and exercise capacity (METs), with a strong safety profile as 97% of patients completed the trial.
MOLBREEVI has received multiple regulatory designations, including Fast Track, Breakthrough Therapy, and Orphan Drug status. Savara plans to submit a Marketing Authorization Application in Europe by end-2025, with a potential U.S. commercial launch in early 2026.
Savara Inc. (SVRA) announced the acceptance of two posters for presentation at the American Thoracic Society (ATS) International Conference in May 2025. The presentations will showcase new data from the Phase 3 IMPALA-2 trial of Molgramostim inhalation solution for treating autoimmune Pulmonary Alveolar Proteinosis (aPAP).
The first poster will present results showing how Molgramostim reduces surfactant burden and whole lung lavage procedures in aPAP patients. The second poster will discuss the treatment's effects on respiratory health-related quality of life and patient-reported outcomes. Both abstracts will be published in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine.
Additionally, Savara will host an Industry Theater session titled 'Advances in Autoimmune Pulmonary Alveolar Proteinosis' featuring experts Dr. Bruce Trapnell and Dr. Cormac McCarthy, who will discuss aPAP's pathophysiology, symptoms, diagnosis, and management.
Savara Inc. (SVRA) has launched the aPAP ClearPath™ Dried Blood Spot (DBS) Test in the U.S., advancing their diagnostic capabilities for autoimmune pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (aPAP). This new test requires only a finger-prick blood sample and has demonstrated 100% analytical sensitivity and specificity in detecting GM-CSF autoantibodies.
Developed in partnership with TrilliumBiO's CLIA-certified lab, the test is offered at no cost and provides a convenient alternative to traditional venous blood draws. The company is currently finalizing its rolling BLA submission for MOLBREEVI™, their potential first-ever FDA-approved aPAP treatment, targeted for completion by the end of Q1 2025.
aPAP is a rare lung disease where antibodies neutralize GM-CSF, preventing proper surfactant clearance in the lungs, leading to breathing difficulties and potential serious complications including lung fibrosis.

Savara Inc. (SVRA) announced the publication of a manuscript in ERJ Open Research detailing long-term outcomes of molgramostim inhalation solution in treating autoimmune pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (aPAP). The retrospective study evaluated five aPAP patients who received molgramostim through European single-patient access over a mean duration of 4.2 years.
The study demonstrated significant improvements including enhanced lung function, decreased disease burden, and reduced clinical symptoms. Key findings showed improvements in pulmonary gas transfer and activities of daily living. Notably, while four patients required whole lung lavage (WLL) before treatment, none needed it after one year of molgramostim use. The treatment was well-tolerated with no serious adverse events reported.
