Larimar Pipeline Development Efforts

Larimar Therapeutics is a clinical-stage biotech company developing nomlabofusp, a potential treatment for Friedreich’s ataxia (FA). The company recently submitted the first module of a rolling Biologics License Application (BLA) to the FDA for accelerated approval.

The remaining modules of the application are slated to be filed in the second half of the year.

Earlier this month, H.C. Wainwright initiated coverage of Larimar with a ‘Buy’ rating and a $10 price target, highlighting the firm’s regulatory progress for nomlabofusp as a key driver of value.

The analyst expects Larimar to submit its full Biologics License Application (BLA) for nomlabofusp later this year. The note stated the filing is likely to receive priority review from the FDA, which could shorten the standard review timeline and speed up a potential approval decision.

H.C. Wainwright forecasts a commercial launch of nomlabofusp in 2027, with first-year U.S. sales of $47.9 million. The firm projects peak annual sales could exceed $1.1 billion by 2040, reflecting strong commercial potential in the rare disease space.
