When the FDA requires a product’s labeling to include a boxed warning (also called a “black box warning” because the text is surrounded by black border), the potential market value of the drug often drops severely. Presumably, Antares’ long-established 90-person urology sales force can achieve pull-thru of this drug product.
Novartis has shouldered its way into the in vivo gene editing category via a deal with US biotech Precision BioSciences, focused on a therapy for sickle cell disease (SCD).
