Alkermes has achieved a significant milestone with its $2.37 billion acquisition of Avadel, as the phase 3 study of Lumryz for idiopathic hypersomnia met all primary and secondary endpoints. This positive outcome allows Alkermes to plan for FDA approval by the end of 2026, with a potential launch in early 2028. Lumryz aims to compete with Jazz Pharmaceuticals' Xywav, the only FDA-approved treatment for this condition. Alkermes anticipates Lumryz could generate sales between $350 million and $370 million in its first year.
