Sanofi (NASDAQ:SNY) is one of the 11 Best 52-Week Low Stocks to Buy Right Now. On June 30, Sanofi (NASDAQ:SNY) announced that its Riliprubart has been granted orphan drug designation in Japan for chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy.
Riliprubart is a monoclonal antibody that specifically inhibits activated C1s in the classical complement pathway. The treatment is designed to block a very specific part of the immune system’s response. Orphan drug designation is a special status granted by regulatory bodies for medicines that target rare diseases or conditions where there is a high unmet medical need.
Dozens of pharmaceutical capsules piled on top of one another to show the scale of the company's drug contributions to the industry.
This is a significant achievement for Sanofi (NASDAQ:SNY) because, despite existing treatments, around 30% of patients do not respond adequately, leaving a significant unmet medical need. Sanofi (NASDAQ:SNY) presented 76-week long-term data from a phase 2 clinical trial at the Peripheral Nerve Society meeting in Edinburgh. The results suggest sustained efficacy and safety of Riliprubart in a broad range of CIDP patients. Management noted that two phase 3 studies are underway to further evaluate the treatment.
