Denali to Sell Rare Pediatric Disease Voucher for $195M Cash Infusion
Summary
Denali Therapeutics has entered an agreement to sell a Rare Pediatric Disease Priority Review Voucher for $195 million. This significant non-dilutive cash infusion follows the FDA accelerated approval of AVLAYAH for Hunter syndrome in March, which likely generated the voucher. The sale substantially boosts the company's cash reserves and financial flexibility, monetizing a key regulatory asset.
