On March 1, 2021, FibroGen issued a press release providing a regulatory update regarding the Company's product roxadustat. FibroGen disclosed "that the Cardiovascular and Renal Drugs Advisory Committee of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will hold an advisory committee (AdCom) meeting to review the new drug application for roxadustat in the U.S." and that FibroGen has "not received a confirmed AdCom meeting date from the FDA." On a conference call that same day, Enrique Conterno, FibroGen's Chief Executive Officer, stated that he was "surprised by the timing of [the FDA's] request," claiming that the FDA had on several occasions indicated it was not planning to take such a step. Analysts and industry observers noted that the FDA's decision raised significant questions about roxadustat's approval prospects.
On this news, FibroGen's stock price fell $12.26 per share, or 24.66%, to close at $38.07 per share on March 2, 2021.
