The Week Ahead In Biotech (April 3-April 9): BioXcel FDA Decision, Neurology Conference Presentations Take The Spotlight

ArticleFeaturedTickersList12345!!!

Biopharma stocks outperformed the broader market in the week ending April 2, thereby recouping the losses from the previous week. Clinical readouts and FDA decisions were among the chief catalysts that moved stocks during the week.

Longeveron Inc. (NASDAQ:LGVN) jumped over 100% after the biopharma announced the publication of positive Phase 1 data for its Lomecel-B in Alzheimer's disease. Clovis Oncology, Inc. (NASDAQ:CLVS) also benefited from a positive data readout.

On the other hand, Akebia Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:AKBA) and Amylyx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMLX) came under selling pressure due to adverse regulatory tidings. The former's vadadustat was rejected by the Food and Drug Administration as a treatment option for anemia in chronic kidney disease patients, while the latter's amyotrophic lateral sclerosis treatment candidate wasn't recommended for approval by an Adcom panel.

Here are the key catalysts for the unfolding week:

Conferences

The American College of Cardiology, or ACC,'s 71st Annual Scientific Session & Expo: April 2-4, in Washington, DC

American Academy of Neurology, or AAN, Annual Meeting: April 2-7, in Seattle, Washington

Goldman Sachs The New Guard: Privates Leading The Disruption In Healthcare conference: April 7

American Association for Cancer Research, or AACR, Annual Meeting 2022: April 8-13, in New Orleans, Louisiana

PDUFA Dates

The FDA is scheduled to rule on BioXcel Therapeutics, Inc.'s (NASDAQ:BTAI) new drug application for BXCL501, an investigational, proprietary, orally dissolving thin film formulation of dexmedetomidine for the treatment of agitation associated with neuropsychiatric disorders. The PDUFA goal date is scheduled for Tuesday, April 5.
