FDA Grants Priority Review for BridgeBio's BBP-418 NDA, Sets Nov. 27 PDUFA Date
Summary
The FDA has granted Priority Review for BridgeBio's BBP-418 New Drug Application (NDA) for LGMD2I/R9, setting a PDUFA date of November 27, 2026. This follows positive Phase 3 results announced in March and the NDA submission later that month, as well as an 8-K filed today. Priority Review accelerates the FDA's decision timeline and signals the agency's view that BBP-418 could be a significant therapeutic advance. If approved, it would be the first treatment for LGMD2I/R9, a rare genetic muscle disorder. The PDUFA date in November is the next critical milestone.
