Status Update summary
8 Jul, 2026Bitopertin regulatory and commercial update
NDA for bitopertin in EPP accepted for FDA review under the Commissioner's National Priority Voucher Program, with potential approval and launch by end of January 2026.
Bitopertin selected for FDA's CNPV program, enabling a 1-2 month review period and potential accelerated approval.
Accelerated commercialization efforts include hiring a 24-person sales force, ensuring drug supply readiness, and ongoing commercial readiness activities.
Launch preparations include reimbursement strategies, potential startup programs, and further launch details to be shared at the JP Morgan Healthcare Conference in January 2026.
Ongoing collaboration with FDA for bitopertin review and APOLLO confirmatory trial enrollment.
DISC-0974 RALLY-MF phase II interim data
Interim data from the RALLY-MF study show significant and durable improvements in anemia, including hemoglobin levels, transfusion burden, and fatigue, across all patient cohorts.
Treatment with DISC-0974 led to over 75% reduction in hepcidin and increased serum iron, resulting in improved anemia measures.
Overall response rates exceed 60%, with major response rates notably higher than historical benchmarks; 63% of non-transfusion dependent patients achieved a hemoglobin increase of ≥1 g/dL for ≥12 weeks.
Safety profile remains favorable, with most adverse events non-serious and no treatment-related serious adverse events or early withdrawals.
Phase III pivotal trial is planned, with an end-of-phase II FDA meeting anticipated and additional data expected in H2 2026.
DISC-3405 and pipeline expansion
DISC-3405 is in phase II for polycythemia vera and phase I-B for sickle cell disease, with rapid enrollment and initial data expected by end of 2026.
The mechanism of DISC-3405 is differentiated, aiming to induce endogenous hepcidin and address diseases with iron overload or erythrocytosis.
Targeting high unmet need markets: ~150,000 US PV patients and ~120,000 US SCD patients.
Additional pipeline efforts include a planned phase II study in anemia of inflammatory bowel disease and development of a long-acting antibody, DISC-0998.
Continuing first-in-patient studies for DISC-3405 and exploring additional indications.
