Sequana Medical FIRST LOOK: 100 day meeting shifts alfapump PMA approval to 1Q25 launch timing unchanged

Sequana announced the agreed outcome of the day 100 meeting with the FDA following receipt of the day 90 letter in relation to the PMA submission for the alfapump in liver ascites. The FDA requested additional work related to non-clinical aspects, and Sequana now expects FDA approval before end of 1Q25 (previously 3Q24). While the shift in the timing for PMA approval (1Q25 vs. 3Q24) is not ideal, timeline for US commercial launch remains unchanged (2H25). We note that the FDA was satisfied with the clinical and safety profile of the alfapump, and based on our conversations with management we believe the requests are manageable. We reiterate our BUY rating and € 6 TP
