The FDA has granted Priority Review to the New Drug Application for dersimelagon, an oral treatment targeting rare genetic disorders erythropoietic protoporphyria (EPP) and X-linked protoporphyria (XLP), with a PDUFA date expected by February 2027. The approval would mark the first oral systemic therapy for these conditions, supported by Phase 3 clinical data from the INSPIRE study.
