Amicus Therapeutics: AT-GAA Approval Delayed, I Will Continue Holding
Amicus Therapeutics' AT-GAA approval in Pompe Disease has been pushed back by 3 months. However, the stock seems buoyant enough. I will continue holding, taking profits where I can. In my previous coverage in May, I wrote the following desultory text: Amicus Therapeutics, Inc. (FOLD) stock is not able to get to its proper potential despite the company's excellence in running its business. Every time I revisit the company, I am astounded by the compelling thesis, the value-market mismatch, and the ensuing opportunity - and yet the stock fails to deliver. I am happy to report that the stock is up 50% since then, despite the FDA extending the review period "by 90 days for the Biologics License Application (BLA) for cipaglucosidase alfa and the New Drug Application (NDA) for miglustat, the two components of AT-GAA." The AT-GAA BLA is fraught with risk because the trial backing the BLA actually failed to meet the primary endpoint. However, here's what I said before about the PROPEL trial: …although PROPEL missed statistical significance in the combined population of patients for motor function, it achieved stat sig for lung function or FVC, which is the more critical symptom… The funny thing about both the COMET and PROPEL trials is that COMET's primary endpoint was FVC, and 6MWT was its secondary endpoint; in PROPEL, it was the other way round. 6MWT was the primary, and FVC was the secondary endpoint. The funny thing, as I was saying, is that COMET missed the FVC primary endpoint but did better with 6MWT; and PROPEL missed the 6MWT primary endpoint but did better with FVC. Now, Sanofi got an approval from the COMET trial, although it failed its primary endpoint. So I expect AT-GAA to be approved as well. More importantly, COMET failed FVC but got approval on secondary endpoint 6MWT. However, as I noted before, FVC is the more important cause of mortality in Pompe patients. Here, PROPEL met stat sig in FVC, despite failing in 6MWT, its primary endpoint. Thus, its chances of approval seem more than Sanofi's Nexviazyme. So why was the PDUFA delayed by 3 months? According to the press brief, they released on May 10: The FDA extended the PDUFA dates to allow additional time to review information submitted by the Company as part of its ongoing reviews. The extension of the review timeline was not related to requests for any additional clinical data. The Company also expects that the additional time will allow for the completion of the pre-license approval inspections necessary at the WuXi Biologics manufacturing site in China.
