Upcoming Specialty Products 10 > Other notable approvals include: Lupkynis — the first oral therapy approved for lupus nephritis; Orladeyo — the first oral therapy approved as prophylaxis of hereditary angioedema attacks;Cabenuva – the first long-acting injectable antiretroviral therapy intended as maintenance treatment of HIV; and Breyanzi — Upcoming Non-Specialty Products 18 the third CAR-T therapy to market for treatment of large B-cell lymphomas, with a favorable adverse effect profile relative to the two previously approved agents Kymriah and Yescarta. > Other potentially impactful FDA approvals are on the horizon, including teplizumab which would be the first Biosimilars 20 disease-modifying therapy for delaying the onset of type 1 diabetes in high-risk patients, arimoclomol as the first approved therapy for Niemann-Pick disease type C, andcasimersen as the first treatment for Duchenne muscular dystrophy that has mutations amenable to exon 45 skipping.
