Bayer Granted Priority Review For Asundexian In Secondary Stroke Prevention

Bayer said the U.S. FDA accepted its NDA and granted Priority Review for Asundexian, its investigational oral Factor Xla inhibitor for secondary stroke prevention. The regulatory milestone improves the drug's near-term approval odds and is a positive development for Bayer's pipeline, though no approval has been granted yet. The news is supportive for the stock but is not likely to be a major market-wide catalyst.
