The U.S. FDA has approved Bristol Myers Squibb's schizophrenia drug, Cobenfy (KarXT), which offers a treatment option with fewer common side effects. Acquired through a billion-dollar takeover of Karuna Therapeutics, the drug aims to drive growth as patents on older drugs expire. In studies, Cobenfy reduced symptoms in over a third of patients, with fewer side effects like weight gain. Analysts project U.S. sales of $1.5 billion by 2030.
