→ Clos­ing in on 3 years since Bris­tol-My­ers $BMY struck an op­tion deal to buy Prome­dior for up to $1.25 bil­lion, the biotech says that it’s gained break­through ther­a­py sta­tus for its star fi­bro­sis drug PRM-151, now in a Phase III pro­gram for IPF. Prome­dior says that reg­u­la­tors based their de­ci­sion on pos­i­tive Phase II re­sults, which set up the new­ly launched late-stage pro­gram. Re­searchers will be us­ing forced vi­tal ca­pac­i­ty as a pri­ma­ry end­point and six-minute walk dis­tance as the key sec­ondary end­point.
