The FDA has granted IND clearance allowing Mesoblast to proceed directly to a registrational clinical trial for Ryoncil, advancing the program into pivotal testing. This regulatory milestone de-risks a key development pathway for Mesoblast and is likely to be a stock-specific catalyst, with potential to move MESO shares in the low single-digit percentage range upon investor reaction or subsequent trial updates.
