Ethical Profile

Mixed.

Savara, Inc. faces scrutiny with an ongoing investigation by Block & Leviton LLP for alleged securities law violations following an FDA Refusal to File letter for Molbreevi, which reportedly caused a significant stock drop. Despite this, the company demonstrates a commitment to 'Better Health for All' through its Molgramostim treatment for rare aPAP. Clinical trials showed statistically significant improvements, with fewer patients requiring whole lung lavages (7.4% vs. 13.3% placebo). Savara also has an Expanded Access Program and its treatment received Orphan Drug, Fast Track, and Breakthrough Therapy designations. However, reports confirm the company engages in animal testing for research. Its CEO-to-median employee pay ratio is 10:1, though specific data on pay equity or living wages is limited.

Better Health for All

-10

Savara's core business is developing therapies for rare respiratory diseases, specifically autoimmune pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (aPAP).

1
Their lead product, MOLBREEVI, is in Phase 3 development and has demonstrated statistically significant improvements in pulmonary gas exchange, health-related quality of life, and reduced surfactant burden in clinical trials.
2
The company also sponsors a diagnostic testing program for aPAP, which helps reduce diagnosis delays.
3
These efforts indicate a strong positive health impact, addressing a serious condition with limited comparable therapies. As a clinical-stage company, it has no revenue from commercialized products, thus no harmful revenue. In clinical trials, MOLBREEVI was well-tolerated, with 97% of patients completing the double-blind period and no discontinuations due to drug-related adverse events.
4
The company's Expanded Access Program (EAP) for molgramostim is limited to eligible patients in select countries in North America and Europe, with expansion planned through 2026, and it received a Refusal to File letter from the FDA for its BLA.
5
The company's risk transparency is limited to general statements about SEC filings containing risk descriptions, rather than comprehensive public data on risks and benefits.
6
As a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, its entire R&D is focused on health improvement.
7
The company's health equity programs are limited to a third-party specialty pharmacy offering financial and insurance assistance, with 95.45% of patients served having no unresolved barriers at their annual assessment, but there is no evidence of direct funding or company-led programs.
8
Savara provides aPAP research updates and links to patient advocacy organizations for education.
9
While the company conducts clinical trials, there is no specific information on ethical conduct beyond general policy guidance.
