On Thursday, Outlook Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OTLK#NASDAQ">OTLK</a>) completed the analysis of the complete 12-week safety and efficacy results for NORSE EIGHT evaluating ONS-5010 in wet age-related macular <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/01/g43023003/outlook-therapeutics-announces-complete-twelve-week-efficacy-and-safety-results-of-norse-eight-cli" rel="noreferrer noopener">degeneration (wet AMD) patients</a>.
ONS-5010 demonstrated non-inferiority to Novartis AG (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVS#NYSE">NVS</a>) / Roche Holdings AG&#8217;s (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RHHBY#OTC">RHHBY</a>) Lucentis (ranibizumab) at week 12 in the NORSE EIGHT trial. Based on the completed analysis of the 12-week results, Outlook Therapeutics plans to resubmit the Biologics License Application (BLA) for ONS-5010 in the first quarter of calendar 2025.
The difference in the mean between ONS-5010 and ranibizumab was -1.009 best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) letters.

BCVA measures how well a person can see after wearing corrective lenses, such as glasses or contact lenses.
In the intent-to-treat (ITT) population, NORSE EIGHT demonstrated a mean 5.5 letter improvement in BCVA in the ONS-5010 arm and 6.5 letter improvement in BCVA in the ranibizumab arm.
As previously announced, in the NORSE EIGHT trial, ONS-5010 did not meet the pre-specified non-inferiority endpoint at week 8 outlined in the special protocol assessment (SPA) with the U.S. <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42214804/why-is-eye-disease-focused-outlook-therapeutics-stock-trading-lower-on-wednesday" rel="noreferrer noopener">Food and Drug Administration (FDA)</a>.
However, BCVA data across all study timepoints demonstrated an improvement in vision, increasing over time, and the presence of biologic activity.
Overall, in NORSE EIGHT, ONS-5010 demonstrated mean visual acuity improvements of +3.3 letters at week 4, +4.2 letters at week 8, and +5.5 letters at week 12.
ONS-5010 was generally well-tolerated with overall ocular adverse event rates comparable to ranibizumab.
ONS-5010/LYTENAVA (bevacizumab gamma) has been approved in the European Union and the United Kingdom. Outlook Therapeutics intends to begin launching in Europe in the first half of calendar 2025.
The company also entered into agreements for warrant inducement transactions expected to result in up to $20.4 million in gross proceeds.
The company will use the proceeds to fund its ONS-5010 clinical development programs, the European commercial launch of LYTENAVA, and working capital and general corporate purposes.

In July 2024, Pfizer announced topline results from the Phase 3 AFFINE trial of giroctocogene fitelparvovec, which demonstrated that the trial met the primary and key secondary objectives of superiority <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/07/39937203/sangamo-stock-spikes-as-pfizer-partnership-meets-goal-in-late-stage-study" rel="noreferrer noopener">compared to prophylaxis</a>.
&#8220;&#8230;we believe it is well positioned for regulatory submissions and potential commercialization,&#8221; said Sandy Macrae, Chief Executive Officer of Sangamo Therapeutics. &#8220;While we were surprised and extremely disappointed by Pfizer&#8217;s decision to end our collaboration so close to the anticipated BLA and MAA submissions&#8230;&#8221;
The collaboration and license agreement with Pfizer will terminate effective April 21, 2025. All trial participants will continue to be monitored as planned during the transition period.
Sangamo believes that its recently announced partnerships with Roche Holdings AG&#8217;s (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RHHBY#OTC">RHHBY</a>) Genentech and Astellas Pharma Inc (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALPMF#OTC">ALPMF</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALPMY#OTC">ALPMY</a>) and advanced business development discussions for its Fabry gene therapy program will allow it to chart a path forward for its neurology genomic medicine pipeline.

Roche CEO Reassures No Job Cuts Despite Challenges: Report

On Thursday, Prothena Corporation plc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PRTA#NASDAQ">PRTA</a>) released results from the Phase 2b PADOVA study of prasinezumab in early-<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/12/b42568873/roches-phase-iib-study-of-prasinezumab-missed-primary-endpoint-but-suggests-possible-clinical-bene" rel="noreferrer noopener">stage Parkinson&#8217;s disease</a>.
Partner Roche Holdings AG (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RHHBY#OTC">RHHBY</a>) conducted the 586-subject study investigating prasinezumab in early-stage Parkinson&#8217;s disease patients who had been treated for a minimum of 18 months while on stable symptomatic treatment.
Prasinezumab <a target="_blank" href="https://www.roche.com/media/releases/med-cor-2024-12-19" rel="noreferrer noopener">showed</a> a potential clinical effect in the primary endpoint of time to confirmed motor progression with an HR=0.84 and p=0.0657, missing statistical significance.
The companies said the effect of prasinezumab was more pronounced in a pre-specified analysis in the population treated with levodopa (75% of participants), HR=0.79 and nominal p=0.0431.
Pre-specified supplementary covariate-adjusted analyses of these endpoints demonstrated nominally significant effects on the primary endpoint (HR=0.81; nominal p=0.0334) and in the levodopa subgroup (HR=0.76; nominal p=0.0175).
Consistent positive trends across multiple secondary and exploratory endpoints were also observed. Prasinezumab continues to be well tolerated, and no new safety signals were observed in the study.
The Phase 2 PASADENA and Phase 2b PADOVA open-label extension studies will continue to explore the observed effects in both studies.
Roche will continue to evaluate the data and work together with health authorities to determine the next steps.
Full results from the PADOVA study will be presented at an upcoming medical meeting.
Price Action: PRTA stock is up 32.40% at $15.83 at the last check on Thursday.

Genentech's Prasinezumab Phase IIb Study Misses Primary Endpoint But Shows Potential In Early Parkinson's Disease

Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TEVA#NYSE">TEVA</a>) and Sanofi SA&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNY#NASDAQ">SNY</a>) Phase 2b RELIEVE UCCD study met its primary endpoints in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42531132/why-are-teva-and-sanofi-stocks-trading-higher-on-tuesday" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Crohn&#8217;s disease (CD)</a>.
In the RELIEVE UCCD study, 36.2% (low-dose) and 47.8% (high-dose) of patients with ulcerative colitis treated with duvakitug achieved clinical remission compared to 20.45% on placebo, placebo-adjusted rates were 15.7% (low dose) and 27.4% (high dose), at week 14.
BofA Securities raised the price target for Teva to $25 from $23 <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/TEVA/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">with a Buy rating</a>, reflecting a strong Phase 2 data update for duvakitug in inflammatory bowel disorders (IBD).
Based on the strength of the data and the emerging product prole, the analyst forecasts nominal peak sales of ~$2 billion (booked by partner), with Teva booking half the profits.
Given the anticipated impact on profits by 2030, BofA factors in the long-term strength of Teva&#8217;s innovative portfolio by applying a valuation multiple of 9.25x to 2025 estimated EV/EBITDA.
Partnership milestone payments provide reliable cash flow, and the analyst sees potential for the stock to gain value as the company shifts toward growth-focused execution.
The TL1a drug class has emerged over the last two years, led by Merck &amp; Co Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRK#NYSE">MRK</a>) Prometheus&#8217; strong Phase 2 data, which was followed by similar data from Roche Holdings AG&#8217;s (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RHHBY#OTC">RHHBY</a>) competitor asset.
BofA writes that TL1a was a class of drug that could offer a very good safety profile, on par with market-leading Takeda Pharmaceutical Co Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TAK#NYSE">TAK</a>) Entyvio, plus a high rate of efficacy across all major patient subgroups.
Data update from Teva in around 240 patients in Phase 2 showed 16%-27% placebo-adjusted MAYO remission scores in the UC population, with the high dose compared favorably to competitors.
TEVA Price Action: Teva Pharmaceutical stock is up 3.23% at $21.56 at publication Wednesday.

Teva Pharmaceutical Releases Impressive Phase 2 Candidate Data For Gastro-Related Diseases

During 2000–2020, the U.K.'s National Health Service (NHS) faced significant trade-offs in prioritizing new drug treatments, as resources allocated to these medications often came at the expense of broader population health gains.
Lancet research revealed that while newly approved drugs directly benefit certain patients, the overall impact on population health was negative due to the high costs and resulting resource reallocation.
A retrospective analysis reviewed technology appraisals conducted by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) on 332 drugs.
Of these, 276 (83%) received positive recommendations, and most were appraised within five years of regulatory approval.
The study ultimately included 183 drugs after excluding ineligible cases. While these drugs generated an estimated 3.75 million quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) across 19.82 million patients, their cost to the NHS—totaling $94.93 billion (75.1 billion pounds)—led to an estimated net loss of 1.25 million QALYs.
For example, oncology drugs demonstrated a median cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) of 30,000 pounds per QALY gained, significantly higher than the 6,478 pounds for anti-infective drugs.
Additionally, the ICER for new drug recommendations rose by 32% from 2000 to 2020, reflecting increased financial pressures on the NHS.
Despite potential long-term benefits from price reductions after patent expiration, these effects were limited. Only 19% of the studied drugs had generic or biosimilar alternatives by 2020.
For new drugs to contribute positively to population health, their initial costs would have required a median reduction of 42%.
The ongoing debate around NICE's cost-effectiveness threshold remains central to policy discussions.
A 2024 agreement retained the current threshold until 2029, but experts argue for alignment with the Department of Health and Social Care's estimate of health-opportunity costs.
Such an adjustment could ensure the NHS achieves better value for its investments in new drugs without compromising care quality in other areas.
Balancing innovation with equitable health outcomes requires nuanced policy solutions. The study <a target="_blank" href="https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(24)02352-3/fulltext" rel="noreferrer noopener">suggests</a> a lower cost-effectiveness threshold, closer to 15,000 pounds per QALY, could better align spending with health gains.
However, opposition from the pharmaceutical industry underscores the challenges of reforming pricing policies while fostering innovation.
This approach highlights how benefiting one group of patients may require deprioritizing others as existing NHS services and treatments are displaced to fund new drugs.
For instance, in 2010, NICE approved Roche Holding AG's (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RHHBY#OTC">RHHBY</a>) Herceptin (trastuzumab) for metastatic gastric cancer, deeming an ICER of 43,206 pounds per QALY gained as cost-effective.
Framing this as 2.88 QALYs forgone for every QALY gained clarifies the value placed on patients receiving the treatment versus those who might lose out on care.
At a population level, using trastuzumab in this context resulted in an estimated 4,000 QALYs lost between 2010 and 2020.
However, adopting this perspective could pose challenges for policymakers due to the established 20,000–30,000 pounds per QALY threshold.

FDA Accepts Genentech's sBLA For Columvi Combination Therapy For Relapsed Or Refractory Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma

Outlook Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OTLK#NASDAQ">OTLK</a>) revealed preliminary topline results of NORSE EIGHT, the second of two clinical trials evaluating ONS-5010 in <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/11/g42210551/outlook-therapeutics-announces-preliminary-topline-results-of-norse-eight-clinical-trial" rel="noreferrer noopener">wet AMD patients</a>.
In the NORSE EIGHT trial, ONS-5010 did not meet the pre-specified noninferiority endpoint at week 8 set forth in the special protocol assessment (SPA) with the FDA.
The pre-specified noninferiority endpoint was measured by mean change in best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) from baseline to week 8.

The difference in the means between the ONS-5010 and Roche Holdings AG&#8217;s (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RHHBY#OTC">RHHBY</a>) Lucentis (ranibizumab) in the NORSE EIGHT trial was -2.257 BCVA letters, while the lower bound of the pre-specified noninferiority margin in the SPA was -3.5; the hypothesis of noninferiority was not met (p&gt;0.025).&nbsp;
In the intent-to-treat (ITT) primary dataset, NORSE EIGHT demonstrated a mean +4.2 letter improvement in BCVA in the ONS-5010 arm and +6.3 letter improvement in BCVA in the ranibizumab arm.
However, the preliminary data from the trial demonstrated an improvement in vision and the presence of biologic activity, as well as a continued favorable safety profile for ONS-5010.
Data analysis is ongoing as month 3 data from NORSE EIGHT are being collected. The data is expected to be available in January 2025.
Upon receipt of the full month 3 efficacy and safety results for NORSE EIGHT, Outlook Therapeutics plans to resubmit the U.S. marketing application for ONS-5010 in the first quarter of calendar 2025.
ONS-5010/Lytenava (bevacizumab gamma) has already been granted Marketing Authorization in the European Union and the U.K.
Outlook Therapeutics intends to continue efforts to launch in Europe in 2025, either directly or with a licensing partner.

In its third-quarter earnings release, Poseida said it has three programs under Roche collaboration announced in August 2022, including P-BCMA-ALLO1, an allogeneic CAR-T therapy in Phase 1/1b&nbsp;development for multiple myeloma, and P-CD19CD20-ALLO1, an allogeneic dual CAR-T candidate in Phase 1 development for <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/11/n41823822/poseida-therapeutics-provides-updates-and-financial-results-for-the-third-quarter-of-2024" rel="noreferrer noopener">B-cell malignancies</a>.&nbsp;
In October, Poseida Therapeutics nominated a new development candidate under its collaboration with Roche. The nomination triggered a&nbsp;$15 million&nbsp;milestone payment from Roche to Poseida.
The new candidate is an allogeneic, dual CAR-T therapy targeting known antigens expressed in <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/10/n41378041/poseida-therapeutics-announces-nomination-of-new-car-t-development-candidate-under-collaboration-w" rel="noreferrer noopener">hematologic malignancies</a>.
The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2025.
Concurrently, Roche <a target="_blank" href="https://www.roche.com/media/releases/med-cor-2024-11-26" rel="noreferrer noopener">revealed</a> an update on the Phase 3 SKYSCRAPER-01 study of tiragolumab combined with Tecentriq (atezolizumab) compared to Tecentriq alone for PD-L1-high, locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).&nbsp;
The 534-patient study did not reach the primary endpoint of overall survival at the final analysis.
The overall safety profile observed remained consistent with longer follow-up, and no new safety signals were identified. The detailed data will be presented at a medical meeting in 2025.
Roche regularly evaluates its research programs to see if changes are needed to support ongoing studies. The same approach will be applied to this program, with more data from Phase 3 trials in various settings or tumor types expected next year.
Price Action: PSTX stock is up 227.3% at $9.36 during the premarket session at last check Tuesday.

Roche's Proposed Acquisition Of Poseida Therapeutics Poised To Establish New Core Capability In Cell Therapy For Cancer And Autoimmune Diseases: Details

SKYSCRAPER-01 is a global Phase III, randomized, double-blinded study evaluating tiragolumab plus Tecentriq compared to Tecentriq alone in 534 patients with PD-L1-high previously untreated, locally advanced unresectable or metastatic NSCLC. Patients were randomized 1:1 to receive either tiragolumab plus Tecentriq or placebo plus Tecentriq, until disease progression, loss of clinical benefit, or unacceptable toxicity. The study did not reach the primary endpoint of overall survival at the final analysis. The overall safety profile observed remained consistent with longer follow-up, and no new safety signals were identified. The detailed data will be presented at a medical meeting in 2025.

The biopharmaceutical sector showed signs of recovery in the third quarter of 2024, fueled by increased investor optimism following the U.S. Federal Reserve&#8217;s interest rate cuts in September. 
According to GlobalData, the top 20 global biopharmaceutical companies <a href="https://www.globaldata.com/media/business-fundamentals/top-20-global-biopharmaceutical-companies-witness-2-growth-in-market-capitalization-in-q3-2024-reveals-globaldata/#:~:text=As%20a%20result%2C%20the%20top,data%20analytics%20and%20research%20company.">saw</a> a 2% rise in their combined market capitalization, reaching $4.3 trillion by the end of September, up from $4.2 trillion in June. 
This rebound highlights the industry&#8217;s potential for growth despite challenges earlier in the year.
Bristol-Myers Squibb &amp; Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BMY#NYSE">BMY</a>) led the market with the largest increase in capitalization, which surged by 24.6% to $105 billion. This was largely driven by advancements in its pipeline, notably the FDA&#8217;s approval of its antipsychotic drug, Cobenfy, for treating <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/09/41064867/schizophrenia-treatment-revolution-fda-approves-bristol-myers-squibb-cobenfy-as-new-class-of-trea">schizophrenia in September 2024</a>. 
Gilead Sciences Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GILD#NASDAQ">GILD</a>) also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/41819570/hiv-drugmaker-gilead-reports-strongest-quarterly-performance-of-2024-analysts-boost">posted impressive growth</a>, rising 22.1% in market value, thanks to the accelerated FDA approval of Livdelzi, a treatment for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/08/40394698/fda-approves-gileads-seladelpar-for-inflammatory-liver-disease-acquired-via-4b-cymabay-deal">primary biliary cholangitis</a>, as well as the approval of its antibody-drug conjugate, Trodelvy, for HR-/HER2- breast cancer in Japan.
Sanofi SA (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNY#NASDAQ">SNY</a>) experienced a 19.2% jump in market capitalization, largely fueled by its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/10/41541274/sanofi-earns-5b-q3-core-profit-on-strong-dupixent-and-vaccine-sales-raises-2024-forecast">flagship drug Dupixent</a>. The drug&#8217;s strong performance in the treatment of conditions such as asthma and atopic dermatitis, coupled with its recent EMA and FDA approvals for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), further <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/09/41069388/fda-approves-regeneronsanofis-blockbuster-dupixent-for-smokers-lung-disease">boosted Sanofi&#8217;s standing</a>. 
Similarly, AbbVie Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABBV#NYSE">ABBV</a>) saw a 15.2% increase in its market cap, driven by the continued success of its immunology drugs—Humira, Skyrizi, and Rinvoq—which together generated nearly $7 billion <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/07/39960414/abbvies-q2-earnings-beat-estimates-raises-annual-profit-on-strong-sales-from-newer-immunology-and">in Q2 2024 sales</a>.
Alnylam Pharmaceuticals Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALNY#NASDAQ">ALNY</a>) joined the top 20 biopharmaceutical companies with a 14.9% rise in its market value, following its RNAi drug vutrisiran's positive results in treating ATTR <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/08/40652720/alnylam-pharmaceuticals-stock-falls-after-detailed-vutrisiran-data-for-a-condition-with-stiff-hea">amyloidosis with cardiomyopathy</a>. 
Roche Holdings AG's (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RHHBY#OTC">RHHBY</a>) market capitalization grew by 13.8%, spurred by the FDA&#8217;s approval of two key products, Ocrevus Zunovo for multiple sclerosis and Tecentriq Hybreza for oncology indications, the latter being the only approved subcutaneous <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/08/40652720/alnylam-pharmaceuticals-stock-falls-after-detailed-vutrisiran-data-for-a-condition-with-stiff-hea">PD-L1 inhibitor available</a>.
On the downside, Wegovy maker Novo Nordisk A/S (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVO#NYSE">NVO</a>) saw an 18.2% drop in its market cap after the FDA rejected its BLA filing for the once-<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/07/39732571/fda-rejects-novo-nordisks-weekly-insulin-requests-information-related-to-manufacturing-process-ty">weekly insulin icodec</a>.
Similarly, Eli Lilly &amp; Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>) reported a slight decline of 2.1%, though both companies retained their leadership in diabetes and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/10/41622207/eli-lilly-q3-earnings-mounjaro-sales-more-than-double-takes-2-98-billion-hit-to-profit-cuts-annua">weight loss drugs</a>. 
Merck &amp; Co Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRK#NYSE">MRK</a>) also faced a 8.2% fall in market value, largely due to disappointing sales of its HPV vaccine, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/41693101/mercks-gardasil-shot-challenges-to-continue-analysts-optimistic-for-newly-approved-">Gardasil, in China</a>.
&nbsp;"The biopharmaceutical industry is poised for a recovery, fueled by multiple FDA approvals leading to a rebound in companies that have seen declines in market capitalization in previous quarters, such as Gilead Sciences and Bristol-Myers Squibb,&#8221; says GlobalData analyst.
