26 Dec, 2025Pipeline and Regulatory Update
Etripamil (CARDAMYST) nasal spray is under FDA review for PSVT with a PDUFA date of March 27, 2025; approval could enable a commercial launch and a transformative year ahead, with promotional launch expected mid-2025.

Patent estate for CARDAMYST potentially extended to 2042, supporting long-term exclusivity.
Royalty financing agreement in place, providing $75M upon approval, with expected cash runway into mid-2026.
Forward-looking statements highlight commercial, clinical, and financial plans subject to regulatory and market risks.
Market Opportunity and Patient Impact
PSVT affects over 2 million people in the U.S., with 650,000–1 million actively engaged in the healthcare system and annual costs exceeding $5 billion.
CARDAMYST is a nasal spray designed for rapid, self-administered relief, empowering patients and reducing anxiety about unpredictable episodes.
RAPID trial data show more than 2x conversion to sinus rhythm and about 40% reduction in emergency department visits versus placebo.
Safety profile is favorable, with most adverse events mild and related to nasal administration.
Cardiologists expect to prescribe CARDAMYST to the majority of unablated PSVT patients, targeting about 50% of PSVT patients with burdensome episodes.
Commercialization and Launch Strategy
Sales leadership and management team hired; sales reps to be onboarded post-approval, aiming for 50–60 reps covering 10,000–12,000 prescribers.
Three main launch goals: build awareness and demand, secure payer access, and develop strong patient support and engagement.
Payer strategy focuses on rational pricing below specialty drug levels (~$900/episode), with normal retail distribution and support for copay assistance.
Phased commercial launch planned, expanding sales force and payer engagement over three years, with no anticipated branded competition.
Pro-forma cash and investments of $76.4M as of September 30, 2024, with launch funding secured for 4+ quarters and $75M in non-dilutive royalty funding upon FDA approval.
