Key Takeaways
Sam Beck In recent weeks, we have seen positive FDA reversals on several regulatory filings Research Associate
for REPL, QURE, and RGNX from the post-Makary/Prasad regime, leading to +1-929-354-4311
significant rallies in these names, which we believe bodes well for BHVN’s NDA
for troriluzole (Vyglxia) in SCA. Recall, the abovementioned names had come
under pressure after the FDA abruptly changed their guidance in relation to filings
for rare diseases, issuing CRLs or onerous guidance for more clinical trial data. In Key changes
Nov. 2025, the FDA issued a CRL for BHVN’s troriluzole in SCA, criticizing Price target (USD) 15 20 33%
flaws/biases of real-world evidence (RWE) and external control studies, which Source: Deutsche Bank
was at odds with positive feedback provided by the agency in Mar. 2024. The
rejection triggered a 40% selloff in the stock and forced a restructuring/pipeline
prioritization effort by BHVN (which admittedly was needed anyway). Given what
appears to be a more hospitable FDA under Acting Commissioner Kyle Diamantas
since Makary’s resignation in May, we believe it is possible that BHVN could align
on a regulatory path forward for troriluzole in SCA without conducting extensive
additional studies.
