Insights
The Q3 2024 results show mixed performance with notable developments.
The addition of MIPLYFFA™ as the sixth commercial asset and the strategic
The FDA approval of MIPLYFFA™ for Niemann-Pick disease Type C represents a significant milestone as the first approved therapy for this rare genetic disorder. This addition to XOMA's portfolio is particularly valuable given the unmet medical need and competition in the NPC space.
The diversification strategy through the Twist Bioscience deal adds exposure to 60-plus early-stage assets across multiple therapeutic areas. However, the setback in Johnson & Johnson's cetrelimab Phase 3 trial in MIBC highlights the inherent risks in drug development. The upcoming Takeda R&D Day discussion on mezagitamab could provide additional pipeline visibility.
