Savara Announces European Medicines Agency (EMA) Validation of Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) for MOLBREEVI* in Autoimmune Pulmonary Alveolar Proteinosis (Autoimmune PAP)

LANGHORNE, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Savara Inc.(Nasdaq: SVRA) (the Company), a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company focused on rare respiratory diseases, today announced that the EMA has validated the submission of the MOLBREEVI MAA in autoimmune PAP; the submission will now be reviewed by the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP). In the U.S., the FDA is reviewing the MOLBREEVI BLA under Priority Review with an August 22, 2026 Action Date.

“EMA’s validation of the MOLBREEVI MAA confirms the submission is complete and that the review of the application has begun,” said Matt Pauls, Chair and CEO, Savara. “This milestone represents an important advancement in our regulatory strategy, and we appreciate the EMA’s guidance throughout the process to-date. Today’s announcement follows the FDA’s filing of the MOLBREEVI BLA and our recent submission of the marketing application to the MHRA. If approved, MOLBREEVI would be the first drug indicated for the treatment of autoimmune PAP in the U.S. and Europe and has the potential to fundamentally change the way this rare and chronic lung disease is treated.”

In addition to Fast Track and Breakthrough Therapy Designations, MOLBREEVI has been granted Orphan Drug Designation for the treatment of autoimmune PAP by the FDA and the EMA, as well as Innovation Passport and Promising Innovative Medicine designations by the MHRA.

Autoimmune PAP is a rare lung disease characterized by the abnormal build-up of surfactant in the alveoli. Surfactant consists of proteins and lipids and is an important physiological substance that lines the alveoli to prevent them from collapsing. In a healthy lung, excess surfactant is cleared and digested by immune cells called alveolar macrophages. Alveolar macrophages need to be stimulated by granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) to function properly in clearing surfactant, but in autoimmune PAP, GM-CSF is neutralized by autoantibodies against GM-CSF, rendering macrophages unable to adequately clear surfactant. As a result, an excess of surfactant accumulates in the alveoli, causing impaired gas transfer, resulting in clinical symptoms of shortness of breath, often with cough and frequent fatigue. Patients may also experience episodes of fever, chest pain, or coughing up blood, especially if secondary lung infection develops. In the long term, the disease can lead to serious complications, including lung fibrosis and the need for a lung transplant.
