BRISTOL-MYERS SQUIBB $2PR by Bristol-Myers Squibb Co.

Over the weekend, Bristol Myers Squibb &amp; Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BMY#NYSE">BMY</a>) shared preliminary data from a Phase 1 study of CC-97540 (BMS-986353), a CD19-directed CAR T Cell Therapy Manufactured Using a Next-generation Process for severe, refractory autoimmune diseases.
Data were presented at the American College of Rheumatology 2024.

CC-97540 (BMS-986353) is an investigational CD19-targeted CAR T cell therapy that <a href="https://acrabstracts.org/abstract/a-phase-1-multicenter-open-label-study-to-establish-the-preliminary-tolerability-efficacy-pharmacokinetics-and-pharmacodynamics-of-cc-97540-bms-986353-a-cd19-directed-car-t-cell-therapy-manufa/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">expresses</a> the CD19 CAR used in FDA-approved Breyanzi (lisocabtagene maraleucel, liso-cel) but is manufactured using the NEX-TTM process, to shorten manufacturing time, improve potency, and optimize phenotypic attributes of the CAR T cell product.
Patients received a single infusion of CC-97540 2–7 days after lymphodepleting chemotherapy (3 days fludarabine [30 mg/m2], cyclophosphamide [300 mg/m2]).
Patients were treated with 10 × 10 power 6&nbsp;or 25 × 10 power 6&nbsp;CAR+ T cells in the dose-escalation phase.
Results from the first patients indicate promising preliminary safety and efficacy of CC-97540 at low doses.
The data also show encouraging CAR T cell expansion and complete B cell depletion.
The abstract notes that CC-97540, a NEX-T investigational CD19 CAR T cell product, is a more potent cellular drug product than liso-cel and can be manufactured with a more rapid processing time and greater capacity.
Goldman Sachs writes that data from 15 patients across three disease indications demonstrates a robust and compelling profile thus far, a very encouraging safety profile, and a noteworthy preliminary efficacy across multiple clinically relevant domains.
The analyst writes that NEX-T has strong potential to become a key growth driver for the company. Although Goldman Sachs has not included revenue estimates yet due to its early stage, they see a possible multibillion-dollar total addressable market across various rheumatologic disease applications.
&#8220;Along with peer commercial stage CAR-T players, we see BMY as well positioned to capitalize on structural advantages,&#8221; the analyst writes.
William Blair writes, &#8220;While there are unanswered questions on the registrational path, commercial opportunity, and competitive landscape for CD19 therapies in severe autoimmune diseases, we believe this patient vignette highlights the transformative potential of CD19 CAR-T in this setting and will further drive patient interest in these programs.&#8221;
Price Action: BMY stock is up 0.63% at $56.58 at last check Monday.

Encouraging Early Data From Next-Gen Study Puts Bristol Myers' CAR T Therapy In The Spotlight For Autoimmune Diseases

Shares of pharmaceutical companies are trading lower After President-elect Trump nominated Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead the HHS.

Last month, U.S. District Judge Jesse Furman of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York dismissed a $6.4 billion lawsuit against issuer Bristol-Myers Squibb &amp; Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BMY#NYSE">BMY</a>).
The plaintiff, UMB Bank, had not been properly <a href="https://www.milbank.com/a/web/r333FErFizuVNYcVKYmE5F/law360-bristol-myers-win-offers-lessons-for-debt-security-holders.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">appointed</a> as the trustee for the securities and therefore lacked standing to sue on behalf of the directing holders.
The issue undermined the lawsuit, filed 17 months after Bristol Myers acquired Celgene for $80.3 billion in 2019.

UMB Bank NA filed suit against Bristol-Myers in 2021. The firm alleges that the company intentionally slow-rolled the approval process for a cancer drug to dodge paying $6.4 billion owed to former Celgene shareholders under a contingent value rights agreement.
On Thursday, Bristol Myers Squibb was again hit with a $6.7 billion lawsuit. The company allegedly delayed federal approval for three drugs to avoid paying former Celgene shareholders.
The case, filed by UMB Bank, claims the delay cost &#8220;contingent value rights&#8221; (CVR) holders an extra $9 per share in cash. The drugs involved include the cancer treatment Breyanzi.
In the third quarter of 2024, Breyanzi generated sales of $224 million, up from <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/10/41655052/bristol-myers-squibb-boosts-2024-outlook-on-strong-demand-for-blood-thinner-med-new-drugs-drive-q" rel="noreferrer noopener">$92 million a year ago</a>.
Per Reuters, UMB resolved the appointment issue. The bank is now confirmed as trustee, allowing it to proceed with the lawsuit. The estimated liability has increased from $6.4 billion to $6.7 billion.
Price Action: BMY stock is down 0.19% at $58.39 during the premarket session at last check Friday.

10 Health Care Stocks With Whale Alerts In Today's Session

Syros Pharmaceuticals Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SYRS#NASDAQ">SYRS</a>) revealed on Tuesday that the SELECT-MDS-1 Phase 3 trial of tamibarotene did not meet its primary endpoint of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/11/b41920532/syros-announces-topline-data-from-select-mds-1-phase-3-trial-of-tamibarotene-in-higher-risk-myelod" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">complete response rate</a>.
The trial assessed tamibarotene in combination with azacitidine in newly diagnosed higher-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (HR-MDS) patients with&nbsp;RARA gene overexpression.
Myelodysplastic syndrome is&nbsp;a rare blood cancer that occurs when the DNA in bone marrow stem cells is damaged, preventing them from producing healthy blood cells.
In the first 190 enrolled patients, the complete response rate by intent-to-treat (ITT) in the tamibarotene/azacitidine treatment arm was 23.8% compared to 18.8% in the placebo/azacitidine control arm and was not statistically significant (p-value = 0.2084).
Bristol Myers Squibb &amp; Co&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BMY#NYSE">BMY</a>)&nbsp;markets azacitidine as Vidaza.
In the safety analysis of all enrolled patients (n=245), tamibarotene combined with azacitidine (n=160) appeared to be generally well-tolerated, with an adverse event profile similar to that seen in earlier Syros-sponsored studies.
Syros also reported, as previously disclosed in its filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the failure of the SELECT-MDS-1 trial to achieve its primary endpoint constitutes an event of default under its secured loan facility with Oxford Finance.
&#8220;We are deeply disappointed by this outcome, particularly for the HR-MDS patients who are seeking a new treatment option for this challenging disease,&#8221; said Conley Chee, CEO of Syros. &#8220;We plan to stop the study, review the clinical data more thoroughly and evaluate the next steps.&#8221;
In August, Syros Pharmaceuticals discontinued enrollment in the SELECT-AML-1 Phase 2 trial, which evaluated a triplet regimen of tamibarotene in combination with venetoclax and azacitidine compared to a doublet regimen of venetoclax and azacitidine in newly diagnosed, unfit patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and RARA gene overexpression.
The company said&nbsp;the probability of the SELECT-AML-1 study&#8217;s success in demonstrating superiority in the final analysis of 80 randomized patients <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/08/40339304/cancer-focused-syros-pharmaceuticals-stops-mid-stage-leukemia-combo-therapy-study-cites-disappoin" rel="noreferrer noopener">was considered low</a>.
SYRS Price Action: SYRS stock is down 86.43% at 37 cents at last check Wednesday.

Citigroup analyst Andrew Baum maintains Bristol-Myers Squibb (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BMY#NYSE">BMY</a>) with a Neutral and raises the price target from $55 to $60.

Citigroup Maintains Neutral on Bristol-Myers Squibb, Raises Price Target to $60

On Monday,&nbsp;AbbVie&nbsp;Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABBV#NYSE">ABBV</a>) stock plunged after two trials investigating emraclidine as a once-daily, oral monotherapy treatment for adults with schizophrenia failed&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/11/41884798/abbvies-emraclidine-for-schizophrenia-surprisingly-disappoints-analyst-says-pipeline-is-underappreciated" rel="noreferrer noopener">two Phase 2 trials</a>.
The studies did not meet their primary endpoint of showing a statistically significant improvement in the change from baseline in the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) total score compared to the placebo group at week 6.
Truist says due to the failure, Bristol Myers Squibb&nbsp;&amp; Co&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BMY#NYSE">BMY</a>) Cobenfy (xanomeline and trospium chloride, KarXT) is poised to have less commercial competition.
The analyst also adds that the update will likely raise questions about strategy in neuroscience for AbbVie, which was highlighted during their <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/10/41626490/abbvie-tops-q3-expectations-as-skyrizi-rinvoq-drive-growth" rel="noreferrer noopener">third-quarter earnings call</a>.
The analyst, with a Buy rating and $215 price target, is still positive on AbbVie&#8217;s growth prospects particularly from their immunology I&amp;I franchise.
Emraclidine was part of AbbVie&#8217;s acquisition of Cerevel last year, which also included Tavapadon, which recently reported positive Phase 3 results in Parkinson&#8217;s disease.
The trial met its primary endpoint – patients treated with tavapadon in both dose groups experienced a statistically significant reduction (improvement) from baseline compared to placebo (placebo: +1.8; 5 mg: -9.7; 15 mg: -10.2 versus placebo) in the Movement Disorder Society – Unified Parkinson&#8217;s Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) Parts II and III <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/09/41050209/abbvie-says-pivotal-trial-for-parkinsons-candidate-meets-its-primary-goal-in-patients-with-early-" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">combined score at week 26</a>.

BMO Capital Markets writes, &#8220;AbbVie core I&amp;I thesis intact, but this one stings.&#8221;
The analyst has lowered the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ABBV/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">price target from $228</a> to $208 and maintains the Outperform rating, citing confidence in the immunology portfolio.
BMO analyst writes that While Neurocrine Biosciences Inc&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NBIX#NASDAQ">NBIX</a>) mixed phase 2 data from NBI-1117568 <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/08/40632561/neurocrine-biosciences-lower-dose-data-puts-its-schizophrenia-candidate-in-the-game" rel="noreferrer noopener">showed some efficacy</a>, there was absolutely no benefit in these trials. Bristol&#8217;s Cobenfy is now poised to dominate the schizophrenia market, the analyst adds.
BMO has reduced the probability of success for emraclidine to 0%, which was previously estimated to reach a potential $3.9 billion in global unadjusted peak sales in the Schizophrenia indication.
Price Action: ABBV stock is down 0.84% at $172.96 at last check Tuesday.

This Bristol-Myers Squibb Analyst Turns Bullish; Here Are Top 5 Upgrades For Tuesday

Leerink Partners has upgraded Bristol-Myers Squibb &amp; Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BMY#NYSE">BMY</a>), stating that the company enters a catalyst-rich period in 2025-2027 beyond Cobenfy (a schizophrenia drug) and milvexian (anticoagulant).
The analyst expects upward pressure on Cobenfy (KarXT) and milvexian consensus expectations to drive stock outperformance from current levels.

Leerink has upgraded from Market Perform to Outperform, with a price target of $73, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/BMY/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">up from the previous $55</a>, and adds that Bristol-Myers stock trades a substantial discount to the Diversified Biopharmaceutical median due to constrained EPS growth through 2029.
But the U.S. pharma giant&#8217;s exposure to loss of exclusivity (LOE) pressures diminishes in 2030+ relative to peers.
On Monday,&nbsp;AbbVie&nbsp;Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABBV#NYSE">ABBV</a>) stock fell after two trials investigating emraclidine as a once-daily, oral monotherapy treatment for adults with schizophrenia failed&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/11/41884798/abbvies-emraclidine-for-schizophrenia-surprisingly-disappoints-analyst-says-pipeline-is-underappreciated" rel="noreferrer noopener">two Phase 2 trials</a>.
With AbbVie&#8217;s emraclidine Phase 2 trial failures, Leerink no longer anticipates that a competing product will launch in 2026, thus boosting long-term Cobenfy projections, including 2030E sales from $4.2 billion to $5.7 billion.
&#8220;Cobenfy appears likely to be a pipeline within a product, with limited competitive threats from stand-alone M4 candidates,&#8221; Leerink analyst writes.
Leerink analyst estimates the potential for peak Cobenfy sales of over $10 billion if it succeeds in additional indications since Eli Lilly And Co&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>) Zyprexa generated $5 billion in peak revenue in 2010 at much lower prices.
The analyst has also increased <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/23/11/35878620/analyst-assess-implications-of-bristol-myers-investigational-blood-thinner-post-bay" rel="noreferrer noopener">milvexian sales projections</a>, with 2030E sales from $3.1 billion to $3.9 billion.
&#8220;We see the potential for milvexian peak sales to be above our 2025E Eliquis sales estimate of $14.4 billion if it delivers a superior benefit-risk profile in its atrial fibrillation Phase 3 in early 2027.&#8221;
Price Action: BMY stock is down 0.74% at $59.37 at the last check on Tuesday.

Bristol-Myers Squibb Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BMY#NYSE">BMY</a>) shares are trading higher Monday. The stock appears to be reacting positively after AbbVie Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABBV#NYSE">ABBV</a>) announced that its Phase 2 EMPOWER trials did not <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/11/41881546/abbvie-9billion-schizophrenia-studies-bristol-myers-stock-surges">meet their primary endpoints</a>.
The Details: Abbvie announced that its two Phase 2 EMPOWER trials investigating emraclidine as a once-daily, oral monotherapy treatment for adults with schizophrenia did not meet their primary endpoint. 
The trials failed to show a statistically significant improvement in the change from baseline in the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) total score compared to the placebo group at week 6. While the clinical trials did not meet their primary endpoint, emraclidine was well-tolerated with a safety profile comparable to that observed in the Phase 1b trial. 
&#8220;While we are disappointed with the results, we are continuing to analyze the data to determine next steps,&#8221; said&nbsp;Roopal Thakkar, executive vice president, research and development, chief scientific officer, AbbVie. 
&#8220;We would like to extend our gratitude to the study participants and their loved ones as well as to our network of clinical investigative sites for their participation in these trials. We are confident that our innovative pipeline will continue to bring meaningful therapies to patients, and we remain committed to finding better treatments for people living with psychiatric and neurological disorders.&#8221;

AbbVie is a large pharmaceutical company with a strong focus on immunology and neuroscience, while Bristol-Myers Squibb, though smaller, emphasizes therapies in oncology and cardiovascular disease. 
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/09/40964682/bristol-myers-acquired-drug-karxt-poised-for-fda-approval-as-first-new-type-of-schizophrenia-trea">approved</a> Karuna Therapeutics&#8216; KarXT in September. It was the first schizophrenia drug to be approved since the 1950s. Bristol-Myers Squibb acquired Karuna Therapeutics for $330 per share in cash last year.

Movers

What's Going On With Bristol-Myers Squibb Shares Monday?

On Monday,&nbsp;AbbVie&nbsp;Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABBV#NYSE">ABBV</a>) stock plunged after two trials investigating emraclidine as a once-daily, oral monotherapy treatment for adults with schizophrenia failed <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/11/41881546/abbvie-9billion-schizophrenia-studies-bristol-myers-stock-surges" rel="noreferrer noopener">two Phase 2 trials</a>.
The studies did not meet their primary endpoint of showing a statistically significant improvement in the change from baseline in the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) total score compared to the placebo group at week 6.
PANSS is&nbsp;a scale used for measuring the symptom severity of schizophrenia.

Cantor Fitzgerald points out that Wall Street had anticipated positive results from both of AbbVie&#8217;s studies, though they expected the details to be mixed, such as how impressive the PANSS score might be.
Even with the negative results, Cantor Fitzgerald remains positive on AbbVie&#8217;s stock and believes the company's pipeline is undervalued.
&#8220;This is disappointing and unexpected,&#8221; the analyst added. The disappointing AbbVie&#8217;s trial results is a benefit for Bristol Myers Squibb&nbsp;&amp; Co&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BMY#NYSE">BMY</a>) approved schizophrenia drug, Cobenfy, but they raise questions about using selective muscarinic targeting for treating schizophrenia and other conditions.
The data could suggest differences between positive allosteric modulators like emraclidine and direct agonists like Cobenfy.
Cantor maintains the Overweight rating with a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ABBV/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">price target of $240</a>.
Despite this setback, the Cerevel acquisition still holds promise, with other treatments like Darigabat (for epilepsy and anxiety) and Tavapadon (Parkinson&#8217;s) continuing to progress.
Top-line results from the TEMPO-2 Phase 3 flexible-dose monotherapy trial of Tavapadon in Parkinson&#8217;s Disease are expected by the end of 2024. Results from the long-term safety study, TEMPO-4, are expected in 2025.
Price Action: ABBV stock is down 11.7% at $176.16 at last check Monday.

AbbVie's Emraclidine For Schizophrenia 'Surprisingly Disappoints,' Analyst Says Pipeline Is Underappreciated

Germany-based Evotec SE (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EVO#NASDAQ">EVO</a>) is trading on Monday after a report that suggests the company is a takeover target.
The private equity firm Triton Partners&nbsp;is reportedly considering acquiring Evotec, Bloomberg reported, citing people familiar with the matter.
In an SEC filing, Evotec <a target="_blank" href="https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1412558/000119312524254399/d872020dsc13d.htm" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported</a> that Triton had acquired a 9.99% stake in the company via several open-market transactions.
The company <a target="_blank" href="https://www.evotec.com/en/about-us/evotec" rel="noreferrer noopener">offers</a> drug discovery and development services to several biotech and pharmaceutical companies.

According to the report, the investment firm has been trying to meet with senior Evotec executives as it looks into a possible buyout.
If Triton wants to increase its stake to 10% or more, it would need approval for foreign investment, the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-11-11/triton-is-said-to-weigh-takeover-deal-for-drug-developer-evotec" rel="noreferrer noopener">report</a> added.
Any major move would also require backing from Evotec&#8217;s key shareholders, including Novo Holdings, the parent company of Novo Nordisk A/S (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVO#NYSE">NVO</a>), and the Abu Dhabi-based Mubadala Investment.
Last week, the German company reported third-quarter revenues of 184.89 million euros, down from 196.28 million a year ago, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.evotec.com/uploads/download-files/IR-ESG-DE/2024-11-06_9M_Analyst-call-presentation.pdf" rel="noreferrer noopener">noting</a> a soft market in shared R&amp;D.
It <a target="_blank" href="https://www.evotec.com/uploads/download-files/IR-ESG/Financial_Publications/Interim-Statement-9M-2024-English.pdf" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported</a> an operating loss of 26.46 million euros, compared to 12.19 million euros loss a year ago.
In its second-quarter earnings, Evotec&#8217;s CEO said the company is operating in a more challenging market environment, notably the slowdown of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/08/40376143/bristol-myers-german-partner-evotec-plans-layoffs-cites-challenging-revenues-profitability" rel="noreferrer noopener">early-stage R&amp;D spending</a>.
In October, Evotec announced advancements in its strategic partnership with&nbsp;Bristol-Myers Squibb &amp; Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BMY#NYSE">BMY</a>), which is&nbsp;focused on developing a molecular <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/10/41490865/why-is-evotec-stock-gaining-today" rel="noreferrer noopener">glue-based pipeline</a>.
Price Action: EVO stock is up 16.2% at $4.80 at last check Monday.

Private Equity Triton Partners Takes Around 10% Stake In Evotec, Reportedly Mulls Potential Takeover Deal

On Monday, AbbVie&nbsp;Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABBV#NYSE">ABBV</a>) stock is trading lower after it released data from its two Phase 2 EMPOWER trials of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/11/n41877628/abbvie-provides-update-on-phase-2-results-for-emraclidine-in-schizophrenia" rel="noreferrer noopener">emraclidine for schizophrenia</a>.
The trials investigating emraclidine as a once-daily, oral monotherapy treatment for adults with schizophrenia. The patients experienced an acute exacerbation of psychotic symptoms and did not meet their primary endpoint of showing a statistically significant improvement in the change from baseline in the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) total score compared to the placebo group at week 6.
PANSS is&nbsp;a scale used for measuring the symptom severity of schizophrenia.

&#8220;While we are disappointed with the results, we are continuing to analyze the data to determine next steps,&#8221; said Roopal Thakkar, executive vice president, research and development, chief scientific officer, AbbVie.
The EMPOWER clinical development program evaluated emraclidine in patients with schizophrenia who are experiencing an acute exacerbation in two adequately powered, placebo-controlled Phase 2 trials, EMPOWER-1 and EMPOWER-2.
The program also includes a 52-week open-label extension trial EMPOWER-3 evaluating emraclidine in people living with schizophrenia who have stable symptoms and are not currently experiencing an acute exacerbation of psychotic symptoms.
AbbVie added emraclidine via the approximately $8.7 billion acquisition of Cerevel Therapeutics.
Last year, an analyst highlighted that the Cerevel deal aligns seamlessly with its established strategy, introducing a portfolio of five clinical-stage and two preclinical candidates targeting various ailments like schizophrenia, Parkinson&#8217;s disease, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/23/12/36138732/abbvies-new-9b-neuroscience-space-deal-might-attract-ftc-scrutiny-analyst-signals" rel="noreferrer noopener">and mood disorders</a>.
This strategic move is anticipated to fuel growth from the latter part of this decade well into the 2030s.
Last month, the FDA approved&nbsp;AbbVie&#8217;s Vyalev (foscarbidopa and foslevodopa) as the first and only subcutaneous 24-hour infusion of levodopa-based therapy for motor fluctuations in adults with&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/10/41384990/fda-approves-abbvies-parkinsons-treatment-medicare-coverage-expected-next-year" rel="noreferrer noopener">advanced Parkinson's disease</a>.
Most recently, the FDA approved&nbsp;Bristol Myers Squibb&nbsp;&amp; Co's&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BMY#NYSE">BMY</a>)&nbsp;Cobenfy (xanomeline and trospium chloride, KarXT), an oral medication for&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/09/41064867/schizophrenia-treatment-revolution-fda-approves-bristol-myers-squibb-cobenfy-as-new-class-of-trea" rel="noreferrer noopener">schizophrenia in adults</a>.
