In its May 4, 2021 Briefing Document, the FDA raised several serious concerns about the “complex” trial design, safety, and results of a late-stage drug study for avacopan, which is ChemoCentryx’s leading drug candidate for the treatment of anti-neutrophilic cytoplasmic autoantibody vasculitis.
Specifically, the FDA cited concerns about the “interpretability of the data to define a clinically meaningful benefit of avacopan.” Concerningly, the FDA report indicated that these concerns had previously been communicated to the company.
Following this news, ChemoCentryx’s stock price plummeted 45% on Tuesday, May 4, 2021, closing at $26.6 per share, causing significant harm to investors.
