Daprodustat was approved with a boxed warning of the increased risk of increased risk of death, myocardial infarction, stroke, venous thromboembolism, and thrombosis of vascular access. The FDA accepted the NDA for zuranolone for the treatment of major depressive disorder and postpartum depression and set a PDUFA date for 8/5/2023. Mesoblast resubmitted a BLA for remestemcel-L to treat pediatric steroid-refractory acute graft versus host disease. Roche discontinued development of ipatasertib and gantenerumab due to lack of efficacy. In February 2023, Vistagen proposed changes to the PALISADE-2 study protocol to the FDA. Vistagen is also designing a new Phase III trial that would include multiple doses of PH94B and use the the Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale (LSAS) as the primary endpoint. The outcome of a meeting with the FDA will determine when the PALISADE-2 trial would be restarted.
