Ipsen (Euronext: IPN; ADR: IPSEY) has announced its decision to request a re-examination of the CHMP's unfavorable opinion regarding the marketing authorization for palovarotene, intended for treating the ultra-rare bone disease fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) in the E.U. Currently, there are no disease-modifying treatments available for FOP in this region. The CHMP's decision was based on data from the MOVE trial, which assessed palovarotene's efficacy and safety. Ipsen remains committed to addressing the concerns raised and to providing innovative treatment options for the FOP community.
Ipsen announced promising results from the Phase III NAPOLI 3 trial for its investigational Onivyde regimen, aimed at treating previously untreated metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. The trial demonstrated a significant improvement in overall survival (11.1 months for Onivyde versus 9.2 months for nab-paclitaxel plus gemcitabine) and progression-free survival (7.4 months compared to 5.6 months). Ipsen plans to file a supplemental New Drug Application with the FDA. Despite a manageable safety profile, common adverse events included diarrhea and low blood cell counts.
Ipsen has announced a definitive merger agreement to acquire Albireo for $42.00 per share, plus a contingent value right of $10.00 pertaining to potential FDA approval for Bylvay in biliary atresia. This acquisition aims to enhance Ipsen's Rare Disease portfolio, particularly through the inclusion of Bylvay®, the first approved treatment for progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC). The total consideration for the acquisition amounts to approximately $952 million. The transaction is expected to close by the end of Q1 2023.
Ipsen has provided an update regarding its liquidity agreement with NATIXIS ODDO BHF. As of December 31, 2022, the dedicated liquidity account held 24,069 shares and €2,483,094.99. Initially, 12,751 shares and €3,137,934.80 were allocated to the account.

Ipsen announced the U.S. FDA issued a Complete Response Letter (CRL) regarding the New Drug Application for palovarotene, an investigational treatment for fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP). The CRL requests additional clinical trial data previously sought in October 2022, not new efficacy or safety data. Ipsen plans to respond in Q1 2023, leading to a six-month review cycle. FOP affects fewer than 400 people in the U.S., and without approved treatments, life expectancy is limited. Palovarotene is already authorized in Canada and UAE as Sohonos™.
