Rhythm Pharmaceuticals gets FDA approval for Setmelanotide (IMCIVREE) for Chronic Weight Management in Patients with Obesity due to POMC, PCSK1 or LEPR Deficiency (Age 6 and older). The management team also gave pricing information, indicating $330/mg and blended pricing estimate of $290-300K/patient/year. The stock rose about 21% on this news and I discuss the implications and future catalysts.
