GlaxoSmithKline (LSE:GSK) revealed that the FDA’s Oncologic Drugs Advisory Committee recently voted against the proposed benefit-risk profile of Blenrep combinations for treating relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma at the current dosage. Despite this setback, GSK remains optimistic about Blenrep’s prospects and continues working closely with the FDA, underscoring the urgent need for new therapies in this difficult-to-treat cancer. Blenrep combinations have gained approval in various countries, including the UK and Japan, and are undergoing regulatory review in multiple other regions.
This development underscores the complexities faced in advancing treatments for multiple myeloma, a disease with limited curative options and high patient demand.
GSK’s shares are underpinned by strong financial results and encouraging commentary from recent earnings calls, particularly driven by specialty medicines and consistent shareholder returns. Nevertheless, short-term technical signals show limited momentum, while debt levels pose some concerns. Valuation metrics remain fair, with a reasonable dividend yield but no clear signs of undervaluation.
