(AWP Alliance News) - Takeda won US FDA clearance for MIMRYLO (rusfertide) to treat erythrocytosis in adults with polycythemia vera. The first-in-class hepcidin mimetic is designed to control hematocrit below 45% by regulating iron distribution and red blood cell overproduction.
Approval was backed by the Phase 3 VERIFY trial in 293 patients, which showed improved hematocrit control, fewer phlebotomies, and reduced fatigue versus placebo on standard care. Takeda maintained its consolidated forecast for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2027.
