Mineralys Therapeutics posts Q3 loss as FDA sets December 22 PDUFA date for lorundrostat

Mineralys Therapeutics reported a third‑quarter net loss of $57.3 million, or $0.64 per share, widening year‑over‑year. Analysts expect the loss to be $0.75 per share, an improvement from the prior quarter’s $2.85 loss. The FDA has accepted the hypertension NDA for lorundrostat and assigned a PDUFA target date of December 22 2026, which is the primary near‑term catalyst. The company held about $646 million in cash and investments at the end of the first quarter, enough to fund operations into 2028.

The widened loss signals higher spending as the firm moves toward launch preparation, while the cash balance suggests it can sustain operations through 2028. The upcoming PDUFA decision will likely drive the stock’s volatility and could determine whether the drug reaches the market.
