Overview

A near-term U.S. regulatory catalyst emerged as the FDA began/accepted review of Bristol Myers Squibb’s “celmod” protein degrader in multiple myeloma, while a broader industry roundup in the same news cycle paired that milestone with a rare-disease regulatory setback for Disc and a separate European approval for Cytokinetics’ heart-disease therapy.
