Angelini Pharma Reportedly Explores A Potential Acquisition of Catalyst Pharmaceuticals Catalyst Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NasdaqCM:CPRX) surged nearly 20% on April 27, 2026, after a report that Italy-based Angelini Pharma S.p.a. is exploring a potential acquisition of the company. The sharp move reflects renewed investor enthusiasm around merger-and-acquisition activity in the biotech sector, where mid-cap specialty drugmakers like Catalyst often become attractive targets for larger or privately held pharmaceutical groups seeking growth. According to a Bloomberg report citing sources familiar with the matter, Angelini Pharma is working with financial advisers as it evaluates a possible bid for Catalyst, which currently carries a market capitalization of $3.3 billion. While the discussions are said to be in early stages, the mere possibility of a deal was enough to trigger a strong rally in Catalyst’s shares, underscoring how sensitive biotech valuations are to takeover speculation. Angelini Pharma, part of the privately held Angelini Industries group, has been increasingly vocal about its ambitions to expand beyond its core European markets. In a statement, a company representative emphasized that evaluating growth opportunities—including acquisitions—is a central component of its long-term strategy. However, the company stopped short of confirming any specific interest in Catalyst, noting that there is no guarantee ongoing evaluations will lead to a transaction. Still, several uncertainties remain. Angelini is reportedly reviewing multiple acquisition targets, meaning Catalyst is not the only option on the table. Additionally, valuation considerations, regulatory hurdles, and strategic fit will all play critical roles in determining whether talks progress. Anuncio • Feb 26

Catalyst Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Announces National Comprehensive Cancer Network Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology Catalyst Pharmaceuticals, Inc. announced the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology (NCCN Guidelines) for Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC) now include new additions involving Lambert Eaton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS), amifampridine (FIRDAPSE), and the tests for PQ- and N-type voltage-gated calcium channel (VGCC) antibodies. The updated NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncologists for SCLC relating to LEMS now include symptom specificity--characterized by proximal muscle weakness and autonomic dysfunction. Under "Signs and Symptoms of Small Cell Lung Cancer" (SCL-A 2 of 2), the guidelines recommend diagnosis through a neurological evaluation, ideally in consultation with a neurologist, which may include testing for PQ- and N -type voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCC) antibodies. Additionally, under "Prin principles of Supportive Care" (SCL-D), the guidelines recommend that amifampridine should be considered as a treatment in consultation with neurology. Approximately 50% of LEMS cases are associated with an underlying malignancy, most commonly SCLC.ature suggests that LEMS is observed in 3% of SCLC patients. Based on an internal healthcare database analysis of SCLC claims, potentially 90% of LEMS patients with SCLC went undiagnosed. These undiagnosed LEMS patients may suffer from LEMS symptoms while undergoing treatment for SCLC. Anuncio • Aug 05

Catalyst Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Announces Sub- Licensee DyDo Pharma Launches Firapse®? in Japan Catalyst Pharmaceuticals, Inc. reported that its sub-licensee in Japan, DyDo Pharma, Inc., ("DyDo") has launched FIRDAPSE®? (amifampridine) Tablets 10 mg in Japan for the indication of improving muscle weakness in patients living with Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome ("LEMS").FIRDAPSE (amifampridine), is the only U.S. FDA approved, evidence-based therapy for the treatment of LEMS in adults and pediatric patients six years of age and older. LEMS is a rare autoimmune disorder characterized by muscle weakness and fatigue. As a cornerstone of Catalyst's commitment to serving those with rare diseases, FIRDAPSE is supported in the U.S. by a comprehensive patient support program to help ensure accessibility and assistance for eligible U.S. patients.FIRDAPSE®? (AMifampridine) tablets 10 mg is an oral, nonspecific, voltage-dependent, potassium (K+) channel blocker that causes depolarization of the presynaptic membrane and slows or inhibits repolarization. This action results in the opening of slow voltage-dependent calcium (Ca2+) channels, allowing for a subsequent influx of Ca2+. In turn, it induces the exocytosis of synaptic vesicles containing acetylcholine (ACh) to release more ACh into the synaptic cleft, enhancing neuromuscular transmission and providing for improved muscle function. Amifampridine phosphate was granted orphan drug designation by the Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare in Japan, and FIRDAPSE has previously been approved for use in the U.S. in adults and pediatric patients six months of age and older and in Europe and Canada for the treatment of adults with LEMS.

New minor risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 75% of German stocks, typically moving 7.3% a week. This is considered a minor risk. Share price volatility indicates the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. It also increases the risk of potential losses in the short term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company. Anuncio • Jan 09

New minor risk - Insider selling There has been significant insider selling in the company's shares over the past 3 months. Total value of shares sold: €294k This is considered a minor risk. There are several reasons why an insider may be selling, including to cover a tax obligation or pay for some other expense. However, we generally consider it a negative if insiders have been selling, especially if they do so below the current price. It implies that they considered a lower price to be reasonable. This is a weak signal, but if there is a pattern of unexplained selling, it can be a sign the insider believes the company's stock is overpriced. Note: We only include open market transactions and private dispositions of directly owned stock by individuals, not by corporations or trusts. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Minor Risks Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (16% net profit margin).

Catalyst Pharmaceuticals Announces Agamree® Now Commercially Available in the U.S. for the Treatment of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (Dmd) Catalyst Pharmaceuticals, Inc. announced the U.S. commercial launch of AGAMREE® (vamorolone) oral suspension 40 mg/mL for the treatment of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy ("DMD") in patients aged two years and older. Following the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") approval on October 26, 2023, AGAMREE is now available by prescription and dispensed throughout the United States through a specialty pharmacy network. Catalyst Pathways® Patient Assistance Program for AGAMREE® is a comprehensive patient support program that includes a dedicated, personalized support team that assists families throughout the AGAMREE treatment journey for eligible patients. Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, DMD, the most common form of muscular dystrophy, is a rare and life-threatening neuromuscular disorder characterized by progressive muscle dysfunction, ultimately leading to loss of ambulation, respiratory failure, and fatality. Current standard treatment for DMD involves corticosteroids, which often come with significant side effects. It is estimated that between 11,000 and 13,000 patients in the U.S. are affected by DMD, with approximately 70% of patients currently receiving a corticosteroid treatment. Steroids are expected to remain the backbone of therapy for DMD patients and dosed concomitantly with other therapies. The FDA's approval of AGAMREE® was based on the data from the pivotal Phase 2b VISION-DMD study as supplemented with safety information collected from three open-label studies, including extension studies. In these trials, AGAMREE was administered at doses ranging from 2 to 6 mg/kg/day, extending for up to 48 months. Compared with current standard-of-care corticosteroids, this novel corticosteroid treatment exhibited comparable efficacy, with data suggesting a reduction in adverse events, notably related to bone health, growth trajectory, and improved behavior.

For the period, the Company expects total revenues in 2024 within the range of $455 million and $475 million, reflecting net product revenue of approximately $295 million to $310 million for FIRDAPSE, AGAMREE net product revenue of approximately $25 million to $30 million, and FYCOMPA net product revenue of approximately $130 million to $135 million. Product revenue for FYCOMPA in 2024 will be affected by differences in variable consideration (gross-to-net) compared to 2023, when revenues were booked under Eisai’s cost arrangements with distributors and government authorities. Starting on January 1, 2024, all such costs are tied to arrangements between the Company and those distributors and government agencies, which costs are likely to be higher than Eisai’s costs, thereby increasing the gross-to-net deductions for FYCOMPA and correspondingly decreasing FYCOMPA net product revenue.

Catalyst Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Reports FDA Approval of AGAMREE® (vamorolone) for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Granted to Santhera Pharmaceuticals Catalyst Pharmaceuticals, Inc. reported that Santhera Pharmaceuticals ("Santhera") has obtained U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") approval for AGAMREE® (vamorolone) oral suspension 40 mg/mL for use in treating Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy ("DMD") in patients aged two years and older. AGAMREE offers a novel corticosteroid treatment option for DMD, addressing a significant unmet medical need. In July 2023, Catalyst secured the exclusive North American license and commercial rights for AGAMREE from Santhera for DMD and other potential indications, bolstering its neuroscience commercial portfolio with a highly synergistic neuromuscular asset. As part of that transaction, Santhera will promptly transfer the approved New Drug Application for AGAMREE to Catalyst. FDA’s approval of AGAMREE® was based on the data from the pivotal Phase 2b VISION-DMD study as supplemented with safety information collected from three open-label studies, including extension studies. In these trials, AGAMREE was administered at doses ranging from 2 to 6 mg/kg/day, extending for a period of up to 48 months. Compared with current standard-of-care corticosteroids, this novel corticosteroid treatment exhibited comparable efficacy, with data suggesting a reduction in adverse events, notably related to bone health, growth trajectory, and behavior. Upon the transfer of AGAMREE's NDA into its neuromuscular franchise, Catalyst will harness its product portfolio synergies by leveraging its well-established expertise and proven commercial capabilities. The Company plans to launch the product in First Quarter 2024, spearheaded by its seasoned and experienced U.S. commercial and medical affairs neuromuscular teams. AGAMREE was granted Orphan Drug and Rare Pediatric Disease designations status for DMD in the U.S. and will be eligible for seven years of orphan drug exclusivity upon approval date and has issued pending patents that could provide protection until 2040. In Europe, it has received Promising Innovative Medicine (PIM) status from the UK MHRA for DMD. Anuncio • Oct 24

Catalyst Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Announces FDA Acceptance of the Supplemental New Drug Application for Firapse Catalyst Pharmaceuticals, Inc. announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has accepted for review the Company's supplemental New Drug Application ("sNDA") to increase the indicated maximum daily dosage of FIRDAPSE®? (amifampridine) Tablets 10 mg from 80mg to 100mg for the treatment of Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome ("LEMS"). The Agency assigned a Prescription Drug User Fee Act ("PDUFA") action date of June 4, 2024. FIRDAPSE is currently approved in the U.S. for the treatment of LEMS for adults and for children ages six to nine. Lambert-Eaton myastenic syndrome, or LEMS, is a rare autoimmune neuromuscular disorder characterized primarily by muscle weakness of the limbs. Acetylcholine is the neurotransmitter responsible for causing muscles to contract, and the failure to release enough of this neurotransmitter results in muscle weakness in LEMS patients. Additionally, LEMS is often associated with an underlying malignancy, most commonly small-cell lung cancer, and in some individuals, LEMS is the first symptom of such malignancy. Anuncio • Aug 27

Catalyst Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Announces Abstract on Lambert Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome (LEMS) to Be Presented at the Upcoming IASLC 2023 World Conference of Lung Cancer Catalyst Pharmaceuticals, Inc. announced that an abstract assessing the prevalence of Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome ("LEMS") among patients with small cell lung cancer ("SCLC") in the United States, was accepted and will be presented at the IASLC 2023 World Conference of Lung Cancer (#WCLC23) hosted by the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer, happening September 9-12, 2023 in Singapore. The abstract details the results from a study analyzing real-world data to determine the prevalence of LEMS diagnoses among patients with SCLC in the United States. While published data estimate that 3% of patients with SCLC have a concurrent LEMS diagnosis, this analysis of oncology healthcare claims between 2017-2022 found that 0.16 - 0.24% of patients with SCL C had LEMS claims, indicating a 10-fold underdiagnosis of LEMS in patients with SCLC. The authors hypothesize non-specific LEMS symptoms, such as fatigue and weakness, may have been attributed to SCLC, leading to underdiagnosis. These data imply that the overall population of LEMS is significantly larger than previous estimates. Anuncio • Aug 10

Catalyst Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Advances sNDA Submission Plans to Increase Indicated Maximum Dose for FIRDAPSE®? from 80 Mg Per Day to 100 Mg Per Day Catalyst Pharmaceuticals, Inc. reported that it recently concluded a Type C meeting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration regarding its plans to file a supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) to increase the maximum daily dosage of FIRDAPSE® (amifampridine) from 80mg to 100mg for the treatment of Lambert Eaton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS). Based on the feedback received from the meeting, Catalyst believes it now has the information necessary to complete the submission of its sNDA for marketing approval in the U.S. early in the third quarter of 2023. FIRDAPSE® (amifampridine) Tablets 10mg is currently approved in the U.S. for the treatment of LEMS in adults and for children ages six to seventeen with an indicated maximum daily dose of 80 milligrams. Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome, or LEMS, is a rare autoimmune neuromuscular disorder characterized primarily by muscle weakness of the limbs. The disease is caused by an autoimmune reaction where antibodies are formed against voltage-gated calcium channels on nerve endings, which damages the channels. These calcium channels are responsible for the transport of charged calcium atoms that activate the biochemical machinery responsible for releasing acetylcholine. Acetylcholine is the neurotransmitter responsible for causing muscles to contract, and the failure to release enough of this neurotransmitter results in muscle weakness in LEMS patients. Additionally, LEMS is often associated with an underlying malignancy, most commonly small-cell lung cancer (SCLC), and in some individuals, LEMS is the first symptom of such malignancy.

Catalyst Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Further Strengthens FIRDAPSE® U.S. Patent Portfolio Catalyst Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Catalyst") announced that the United States Patent and Trademark Office ("USPTO") has notified Catalyst that an additional patent covering FIRDAPSE® (amifampridine) Tablets 10 mg, the Company's proprietary formulation of amifampridine, will issue on March 8, 2022, and that two additional patents will issue on March 15, 2022. FIRDAPSE is currently the only approved treatment of adults with Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome ("LEMS") in the U.S. The new patents are directed to the treatment of patients suffering from LEMS who have two N-acetyl transferase 2 (NAT2) fast alleles, one fast and one slow allele, or two slow alleles. Along with Catalyst's two current patents, the new patents cover the treatment of all amifampridine metabolizer types within the LEMS patient population. FIRDAPSE® (amifampridine) Tablets 10 mg is an oral, nonspecific, voltage-dependent, potassium (K+) channel blocker that causes depolarization of the presynaptic membrane and slows or inhibits repolarization. This action results in the opening of slow voltage-dependent calcium (Ca2+) channels, allowing for a subsequent influx of Ca2+. In turn, it induces the exocytosis of synaptic vesicles containing Acetylcholine (ACh) to release more ACh into the synaptic cleft, enhancing neuromuscular transmission and providing for improved muscle function.
