Current report
Refusal To File Letter
Current report
On May 27, 2025, Savara received an RTF letter from the FDA for the BLA of MOLBREEVI as a therapy to treat patients with autoimmune PAP. Upon preliminary review, the FDA determined that the BLA submitted in March 2025 was not sufficiently complete to permit substantive review and requested additional data related to Chemistry, Manufacturing, and Controls. The RTF was not the result of safety concerns, and the FDA did not request or recommend additional efficacy studies.
Current report
The RTF does not impact previous designations granted by regulators for MOLBREEVI in autoimmune PAP. MOLBREEVI in autoimmune PAP has been granted Fast Track and Breakthrough Therapy Designations by the FDA, Orphan Drug Designation by the FDA and the European Medicines Agency (EMA), as well as Innovation Passport (IP) and Promising Innovative Medicine (PIM) designations by the UK’s Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA).
Current report

This increase is primarily due to the performance of tasks related to our MOLBREEVI program, which includes approximately $3.8 million of costs related to our chemistry, manufacturing, and controls activities, primarily driven by initiatives to establish our additional drug substance manufacturer, $3.4 million of costs related to regulatory affairs and quality assurance, $0.1 million other departmental overhead, partially offset by $1.8 million of clinical costs.

BLA Submission Complete
Previous report
On March 26, 2025, Savara announced that it had completed its submission of the BLA to the FDA for MOLBREEVI for the potential treatment of aPAP, a chronic and debilitating rare lung disease characterized by the abnormal build-up of surfactant in the alveoli of the lungs. This follows our reporting, in June 2024, of top line results from our pivotal IMPALA-2 trial for the treatment of aPAP that demonstrated improvement compared to placebo in gas exchange, as measured by diffusing capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide, or DLCO, and clinical benefit, as measured by St. George’s Respiratory Questionnaire, or SGRQ, and exercise capacity, measured in peak METs. MOLBREEVI was well tolerated throughout the 48-weeks and no unexpected safety signals were seen. Previously, on December 18, 2024, the Company announced that it had initiated a rolling submission of a BLA to the FDA for MOLBREEVI. MOLBREEVI was also granted Fast Track and Breakthrough Therapy Designations by the FDA in 2019 for the treatment of patients with aPAP.

As of March 31, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $19.6 million and short-term investments of $152.9 million. We will continue to require additional capital to continue our clinical development and potential commercialization activities.

The amount and timing of our future funding requirements will depend on many factors, including the pace and results of our clinical development efforts. Failure to raise capital as and when needed, on favorable terms or at all, would have a negative impact on our financial condition and our ability to develop our product candidate.
