3rd Annual Guggenheim Healthcare Innovation Conference summary
9 Nov, 2026Programs and clinical progress
Late-stage metabolic rare-disease programs target refractory hypoglycemia associated with congenital and tumor-associated hyperinsulinism; ersodetug is a fully human monoclonal antibody designed for all forms of the condition.
Phase III for congenital hyperinsulinism is complete; top-line Phase III results for tumor-associated hyperinsulinism were expected soon.
In tumor-associated disease, the FDA worked with the sponsor to streamline the Phase III design to a single-arm, open-label study; the stated primary threshold is a 50% reduction in glucose infusion requirements for at least 50% of patients.
Expanded-access experience over three years included more than a dozen tumor patients in the U.S. and Europe; reported benefits included reduced hypoglycemia, hospital discharge, resumed cancer therapy, and return to normal activities.
For congenital disease, CGM analyses were reported to show a 50%-75% difference between placebo and treatment arms in the worst-case scenario; after reviewing raw data, the FDA advised proceeding with the BLA process, without declaring the treatment approvable.
Regulatory plans and timing
A congenital BLA filing was planned for the middle of next year; the FDA discussion on the path for both indications was expected in the first part of next year.
The conservative regulatory sequence envisioned a congenital PDUFA date in Q1 2028, followed roughly nine months later by a tumor sBLA PDUFA date; timing could change after FDA discussions.
The timing of disclosure after the pre-BLA meeting will depend on the meeting outcome; prior clear FDA feedback was announced before meeting minutes were received.
A congenital pediatric rare-disease priority review voucher was a stated objective; the plan was to seek congenital approval first while discussing whether tumor review could proceed sooner given its unmet need.
Market and commercial outlook
Estimated addressable populations were 1,500 pediatric congenital patients non-responsive to diazoxide, with additional patients potentially migrating from diazoxide; total congenital TAM was estimated at 2,000.
Tumor estimates comprised 2,500 insulinoma patients with recurrent refractory hypoglycemia and hospitalization, plus 1,500 NICTH patients; total tumor TAM was ~4,000 and combined population ~6,000.
Expanded-access experience included patients on treatment for more than two years; treatment duration was expected to be longer for insulinoma than NICTH.
The stated total addressable market opportunity was well north of $5 billion; pricing was expected to be weight-based and linear from congenital to tumor, with ultra-rare pricing and minimal payer budget impact.
A lean field footprint was envisioned: 10-15 salespeople for congenital, with a possible separate tumor team; patient support, market access, and commercial operations would support identification and reimbursement.
