Update: HyQvia got a favourable vote

The positive vote (15 to one) by the FDA’s Blood Products Advisory Committee (BPAC) for HyQvia should pave the way for its US approval (Q3) and its launch by Baxter, the drug’s commercial partner. Potential risk factors raised and extensively discussed by the FDA at the panel meeting could result in some label restrictions, which will be in line with the drug’s restricted approval in the EU. An FDA approval would remove one near-term risk for Halozyme. The panel vote, though positive, has only a small impact on Halozyme’s valuation, which is now $1,448m, or $11.7 per basic share, vs previously $1,445m, or $11.6 per basic share.
