Bristol Myers Squibb (BMY) secured accelerated FDA approval for Zenbexus (iberdomide) for adult patients with multiple myeloma. This is a significant positive catalyst as Zenbexus is the first FDA-approved CELMoD, a new class of protein degraders, and demonstrated superior efficacy in clinical trials. The approval is expected to drive substantial revenue growth for BMY, with analysts forecasting over $1 billion in annual sales by 2031.
