Eiger sheds ~20% on abandonment of EUA request for COVID therapy

Eiger BioPharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:EIGR), a biotech focused on rare and ultra-rare diseases, slipped ~20% pre-market Wednesday after announcing it would not seek an emergency use authorization (EUA) application in the U.S. for COVID-19 therapy peginterferon lambda. The decision followed a pre-EUA meeting the company had requested from the FDA. The agency denied the request citing issues in an investigator-sponsored trial designed to assess different therapeutic agents, including peginterferon, in non-hospitalized patients with mild-to-moderate COVID-19. FDA has determined that “any authorization request based on these data is unlikely to meet the statutory criteria for issuance of an EUA in the current context of the pandemic,” the company said. Instead, the agency has suggested that EIGR consider requesting an end-of-Phase 2 meeting to run a company-sponsored pivotal trial targeted at a Biologics License Application (BLA). EIGR is weighing the next steps, including strategic options to advance peginterferon lambda against respiratory viral agents, including COVID-19. Read: In September, the FDA updated its COVID-19 test policy to cut the number of reviews of EUA requests for diagnostic tests.

Eiger falls 21% amid uncertainty over regulatory path for COVID-19 therapy

The shares of commercial-stage biotech Eiger BioPharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:EIGR) fell ~21% in the pre-market Tuesday after the company announced that the FDA is uncertain about the regulatory path for COVID-19 therapy peginterferon lambda. The update comes after the company's meeting with the regulator regarding the Phase 3 TOGETHER study for peginterferon lambda aimed at its emergency use authorization (EUA). Following the meeting, the FDA has indicated its uncertainty if the company can meet the requirements for a EUA submission for peginterferon lambda. However, EIGR remains in talks with the FDA as the regulator indicated its intention to consider any new data from the TOGETHER trial to support a EUA while the company plans to further develop the candidate in COVID-19.

Eiger BioPharmaceuticals: Undervalued Biotech With End Of 2022 Catalyst

European Commission granted marketing authorization for Zokinvy (lonafarnib) for the treatment of patients with progeria on July 20, 2022. Results from the phase 3 D-LIVR study using Lonafarnib for the treatment of patients with Hepatitis Delta Virus are expected by end of 2022. In March of 2022, a single dose of peginterferon Lambda for Covid-19, reduced the risk of hospitalization or ER visits greater than 6 hours by 50% in a predominantly vaccinated population. An Emergency Use Authorization filing from Eiger BioPharmaceuticals to the FDA for peginterferon Lambda for Covid-19 is possible in 2022. Eiger BioPharmaceuticals (EIGR) is a great speculative biotech play to look into. That's because it has a major catalyst for investors to look forward to at the end of 2022. This would be the readout of the phase 3 D-LIVR study, which is using Lonafarnib for the treatment of patients with Hepatitis Delta Virus ((HDV)). There is potential here to eventually possibly obtain approval for two combinations. These combinations include Lonafarnib and ritonavir and in combination with peginterferon alfa. In addition, this biotech had already received European approval for its treatment Zokinvy (Lonafarnib) for the treatment of patients with progeria. It is the first and only treatment approved in Europe for this specific indication. In addition, another possible catalyst would be Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for Peginterferon Lambda for Covid-19 infection. The company is engaging with the FDA and intends to submit an EUA application along with the full set of results from the TOGETHER study. It was done in a predominantly vaccinated patient population, so it remains to be seen how well it does if it is ultimately approved. Regardless, I believe EUA could act as a trade opportunity. These are the reasons why I believe that Eiger BioPharmaceuticals is a great speculative biotech play to look into. Lonafarnib Catalyst Expected End Of 2022 Lonafarnib is in clinical development for the treatment of patients with Hepatitis Delta Virus. Hepatitis Delta Virus ((HDV)) or Hepatitis D is a very small circular RNA virus. It is one of the smallest types of virus that infects humans. However, right off the bat I will tell you that it is rare. Why is it rare? That's because in order for the HDV to infect someone, they also have to be carrying Hepatitis B (HBV). That's right, HDV needs HBV in order to infect a person. That's the only way HDV can replicate in liver cells. Those who may be at risk of getting HDV are those who have gone through many blood transfusions and those who are intravenous types of drug abusers. Symptoms of those who have this virus are as follows: Abdominal type pain Nausea Fatigue Being rare, there are roughly only about less than 200,000 people in the United States who have it. Eiger estimates that an HDV product could be about a >$1 billion per year market opportunity. The good news is that this program is already ongoing and still enrolling patients. This is known as the phase 3 D-LIVR study, which is estimated to enroll about 400 patients total. At least 300 patients will be treated with Lonafarnib. There are going to be two arms in the study as follows: All oral arm of LNF (lonafarnib) boosted with RTV (ritonavir) LNF boosted with RTV combined with pegylated interferon-alfa (PEG IFN-alfa) Each of the 2 arms above are going to be compared to placebo. That means in order for this study to be successful, it just needs to meet the primary endpoint compared to placebo. The composite primary endpoint is twofold as follows: Compare composite virologic and biochemical response rate at end of treatment ((EOT)) in patients who receive 50 mg Lonafarnib/100 mg BID Ritonavir versus patients who receive placebo (over 48 weeks) Compare composite virologic and biochemical response rate at end of EOT in patients who receive 50 mg Lonafarnib/100 mg BID Ritonavir and 180 mcg QW PEG IFN-alfa-2a (over 48 weeks)

European Commission approves Eiger BioPharmaceuticals' progeria therapy Zokinvy

Eiger BioPharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:EIGR) on Wednesday said the European Commission had granted a marketing authorization to its treatment Zokinvy (lonafarnib) for progeria, which is a progressive genetic disorder that causes accelerated aging. The specific indication for which Zokinvy was approved was as a breakthrough therapy in children and young adults with Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome and processing-deficient progeroid laminopathies. The European approval for Zokinvy is valid in all 27 EU member states as well as Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway. EIGR says Zokinvy is the first and only treatment approved in Europe for progeria. The therapy was approved by the U.S. FDA in 2020. EIGR stock +2.8% to $8.73 in early trading.
