A full editorial deep dive on the three most interesting April biotech FDA setups still ahead: Replimune, Travere Therapeutics and Grace Therapeutics. Each story carries a different kind of risk. Replimune is the credibility test after a prior CRL. Travere is the commercial expansion test for a product that already sells. Grace is the classic small-cap binary setup where one approval could change the company’s profile very quickly.

TVTX is not the typical pre-PDUFA biotech where everything depends on one unproven idea and the balance sheet is already screaming for a financing. Travere enters the April 13, 2026 decision with a drug already commercial in the United States, a meaningful revenue base, a still-usable cash position, and a management team that has already taken FILSPARI from accelerated approval to full approval in IgA nephropathy. That matters. It changes the quality of the setup. It means the market is not being asked to price pure hope. It is being asked to decide how much additional franchise value belongs to FILSPARI if the FDA agrees that the FSGS package is strong enough for approval.

Travere confirmed that the PDUFA date for the FILSPARI sNDA in FSGS is January 13, 2026. In the latest corporate update (press release) and at the JPM conference, management explained that the FDA recently sent a series of additional information requests “to further characterize the clinical benefit of FILSPARI” and that Travere has now submitted complete responses, which are under review.

Today is about one thing: uncertainty around the FDA decision timing/outcome for the FILSPARI FSGS sNDA. The company explicitly highlighted FDA information requests right before the target date.
