Postpartum Depression Marketed Therapies
Zuranolone (SAGE-217) is an investigational, oral, novel medicine in development for postpartum depression (PPD). It is given once daily, a 2-week therapy neuroactive steroid (NAS) GABAA receptor positive allosteric modulator (PAM) specifically designed to relieve several depression disorders, including PPD, major depressive disorder (MDD), and treatment-resistant depression. The GABA system is the major inhibitory signaling pathway of the brain, and the central nervous system (CNS) significantly regulates CNS function. SAGE-217 has been optimized for selectivity to synaptic and extrasynaptic type a γ-aminobutyric acid (GABAA) receptors and a pharmacokinetic profile for daily oral dosing.
ZULRESSO: Sage Therapeutics
ZULRESSO is a proprietary IV formulation of brexanolone. Brexanolone is chemically identical to allopregnanolone, a naturally occurring neuroactive steroid that acts as a positive allosteric modulator of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptors indicated for treating PPD in adults. Brexanolone is available to patients only through a Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) program and must be administered at a certified healthcare facility. In addition, patients must be monitored continuously during the drug infusion due to the risk of serious side effects. Notably, ZULRESSO (brexanolone) is the first drug approved by the US FDA specifically for PPD in adults. The mechanism of action of brexanolone in treating PPD in adults is related to its positive allosteric modulation of GABAA receptors. Brexanolone potentiated GABA-mediated currents from recombinant human GABAA receptors in mammalian cells expressing α1β2γ2 receptor subunits, α4β3δ receptor subunits, and α6β3δ receptor subunits.
Postpartum Depression Emerging Therapies
Ganaxolone: Marinus Pharmaceuticals
Ganaxolone (CCD-1042) is a lead clinical-stage drug candidate that brings a GABAA receptor modulating mechanism and an extensive safety database with exhibited anti-epileptic (antiseizure), anxiolytic (anti-anxiety) and anti-depressive activity in development by Marinus Pharmaceuticals. It is being developed in three different dosage forms (IV, capsule, and liquid) to maximize therapeutic reach to adult and pediatric patients in acute and chronic care settings with severe PPD. Unlike benzodiazepines, ganaxolone exhibits antiseizure and anti-anxiety activity via its effects on synaptic and extrasynaptic GABAA receptors. Ganaxolone has been designed with an added methyl group that prevents back conversion to an active steroid, which unlocks ganaxolone's potential for chronic use. In preclinical studies, ganaxolone exhibited potency and efficacy comparable to allopregnanolone.

Postpartum Depression Market Outlook
Antidepressants, such as Abilify (aripiprazole), Zoloft (sertraline hydrochloride), Spravato (esketamine), Prozac (fluoxetine capsules), Celexa (citalopram hydrobromide), Luvox CR (Fluvoxamine Maleate), and Paxil CR (paroxetine) form the mainstay in the Postpartum Depression treatment. Although these drugs are approved for treating depression-related disorders such as major depressive disorder (MDD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), treatment-resistant depression (TRD), etc., they are being used as off-label drugs for the treatment of PPD. The type of medication prescribed by the doctors largely depends on the set of symptoms, severity and the specific type of PPD the patient is suffering from. The primary concern about antidepressants is the uncertainty in the outcomes and their side effects on new born due to breastfeeding. Though antidepressants are not necessarily a permanent cure for PPD, they are an important aspect of managing depression symptoms and restoring quality of life.

Graft vs Host Disease Pipeline 2025: FDA Approvals and Clinical Trials Landscape with MOA and ROA Highlights by DelveInsight

(Las Vegas, Nevada, United States) As per DelveInsight's assessment, globally, Graft vs Host Disease pipeline constitutes 45+ key companies continuously working towards developing 50+ Graft vs Host Disease treatment therapies, analysis of Clinical Trials, Therapies, Mechanism of Action, Route of Administration, and Developments analyzes DelveInsight. ' Graft vs Host Disease Pipeline Insight, 2025" report by DelveInsight outlines comprehensive insights into the present clinical development scenario and growth prospects across the Graft vs Host Disease Market. The Graft vs Host Disease Pipeline report embraces in-depth commercial and clinical assessment of the pipeline products from the pre-clinical developmental phase to the marketed phase. The report also covers a detailed description of the drug, including the mechanism of action of the drug, clinical studies, NDA approvals (if any), and product development activities comprising the technology, collaborations, mergers acquisition, funding, designations, and other product-related details. Some of the key takeaways from the Graft vs Host Disease Pipeline Report: Companies across the globe are diligently working toward developing novel Graft vs Host Disease treatment therapies with a considerable amount of success over the years. Graft vs Host Disease companies working in the treatment market are Abbisko Therapeutics, Theriva Biologics, Seres Therapeutics, Cellestia Biotech, Pfizer, Chia Tai Tianqing Pharmaceutical, Regimmune Corporation, Syndax Pharmaceuticals, MaaT Pharma, Medac, Equillium, Xenikos, and others, are developing therapies for the Graft vs Host Disease treatment Emerging Graft vs Host Disease therapies in the different phases of clinical trials are- ABSK021, SYN-004, SER-155, CB103, Glasdegib, TQ 05105, RGI-2001, Axatilimab, MaaT013, MC 0518, Itolizumab, T-Guard, and others are expected to have a significant impact on the Graft vs Host Disease market in the coming years. In April 2025, The California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM) has granted $8 million to biotech firm Tr1X to advance its Phase I/IIa clinical trial of TRX103. This therapy aims to prevent graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) in blood cancer patients receiving mismatched stem cell transplants. TRX103 is an allogeneic, engineered type 1 regulatory (Tr1) Treg cell therapy designed to reduce transplant-related complications and improve patient outcomes. In March 2025, Orca Bio's investigational T-cell immunotherapy for blood cancers significantly improved outcomes, more than doubling the rate of patients who remained free from moderate-to-severe chronic graft-versus-host disease (GvHD). According to results from the Phase III Precision-T trial (NCT05316701), 78% of patients treated with Orca-T (TRGFT-201), the company's lead allogeneic T-cell therapy, were GvHD-free after one year, compared to only 38% in the group receiving standard allogeneic stem cell transplants. In January 2025, MaaT Pharma (EURONEXT: MAAT), a clinical-stage biotech company specializing in Microbiome Ecosystem Therapies™ (MET) aimed at improving survival outcomes in cancer patients through immune system modulation, has announced positive topline results from its pivotal Phase 3 ARES trial. This single-arm, open-label, multicenter study conducted across Europe assessed the safety and efficacy of MaaT013 in patients with acute Graft-versus-Host Disease involving the gastrointestinal tract (GI-aGvHD) who are in third-line treatment — meaning they are resistant to steroids and either refractory or intolerant to ruxolitinib. The trial successfully achieved its primary endpoint, with a 28-day gastrointestinal overall response rate (GI-ORR) of 62%, significantly surpassing the expected rate of 38%. These outcomes, evaluated by an Independent Review Committee (IRC), exceeded the predefined efficacy threshold and underscore the strong clinical potential of MaaT013 in treating third-line GI-aGvHD. In December 2024, The FDA has granted approval to Mesoblast's allogeneic bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC) therapy, remestemcel-L, for treating steroid-refractory acute graft versus host disease (GvHD) in pediatric patients aged two months and older. Significantly, this marks the first FDA-approved MSC-based therapy. The treatment will be commercially available under the brand name Ryoncil. Graft vs Host Disease Overview Graft versus Host Disease (GvHD) is a medical condition that can occur after a stem cell or bone marrow transplant, where the donor's immune cells (graft) recognize the recipient's body (host) as foreign and attack it. GvHD commonly affects the skin, liver, and gastrointestinal tract. It is classified into acute and chronic forms, with symptoms ranging from mild rashes and diarrhea to severe organ damage. Management typically involves immunosuppressive therapies to reduce the immune response.

PFE's New & Acquired Drugs Hold Key to Revenue Growth Amid Headwinds

PFE's New & Acquired Drugs Hold Key to Revenue Growth Amid Headwinds

With the end of the pandemic, sales of Pfizer 's PFE COVID products, Comirnaty and Paxlovid, have declined. Though COVID revenues are declining, Pfizer's non-COVID operational revenues improved in 2024 and so far in 2025, driven by its key in-line products like Vyndaqel, Padcev and Eliquis, new launches and newly acquired products like Nurtec and those from Seagen. Year 2023 was a record year for Pfizer in terms of new drug approvals. It received nine new medicine/vaccine approvals in 2023 that have begun to contribute to top-line growth. In 2024, it gained approval for some interesting new products like two gene therapies for hemophilia, Hympavzi (marstacimab) and Beqvez/Durveqtix (fidanacogene elaparvovec). The December 2023 acquisition of Seagen strengthened Pfizer's position in oncology by adding four antibody-drug conjugates or ADCs — Adcetris, Padcev, Tukysa and Tivdak. The acquired Seagen products contributed meaningfully to Pfizer's revenues in 2024 and the first quarter of 2025. Seagen also has some next-generation ADC candidates in its pipeline. Pfizer faces its share of challenges, including declining sales of its COVID-19 products, U.S. Medicare Part D headwinds, the upcoming loss of exclusivity cliff, uncertainties around tariffs and a volatile macro environment. However, its new products/late-stage pipeline candidates and newly acquired products, including those acquired from Seagen, position it strongly for operational growth in 2025 and beyond. Competition in the Oncology Space Other large players in the oncology space are AstraZeneca AZN, Merck MRK and Bristol-Myers BMY. For AstraZeneca, oncology sales now comprise around 41% of total revenues. Sales in its oncology segment rose 13% in the first quarter of 2025. AstraZeneca's strong oncology performance was driven by medicines such as Tagrisso, Lynparza, Imfinzi, Calquence and Enhertu (in partnership with Daiichi Sankyo). Merck's key oncology medicines are PD-LI inhibitor, Keytruda and PARP inhibitor, Lynparza, which it markets in partnership with AstraZeneca. Keytruda, approved for several types of cancer, alone accounts for around 50% of Merck's pharmaceutical sales. Bristol-Myers' key cancer drug is PD-LI inhibitor, Opdivo, which accounts for around 20% of its total revenues. PFE's Price Performance, Valuation and Estimates Pfizer's stock has declined 4.4% so far this year compared with an increase of 3.1% for the industry. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research From a valuation standpoint, Pfizer appears attractive relative to the industry and is trading below its 5-year mean. Going by the price/earnings ratio, the company's shares currently trade at 7.97 forward earnings, lower than 15.54 for the industry and the stock's 5-year mean of 10.91. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2025 earnings has risen from $2.98 per share to $3.06 per share, while that for 2026 has gone up from $3.00 to $3.09 per share over the past 60 days.

Create a Portfolio of Passive Income: 3 High-Yielding Dividend Stocks That Pay More Than 5%

Dividend income offers a great way to strengthen your overall financial position. It can potentially make you less dependent on the income you earn from a job, maybe even allowing you to work less or retire earlier than planned. Money doesn't buy happiness, but being less dependent on work to fund your lifestyle could be a contributor to a happier, less stressful life. A great way to build up dividend income is to invest in high-yielding dividend stocks that also happen to be lower-risk investments. Pfizer (NYSE: PFE), Realty Income (NYSE: O), and Bank of Nova Scotia (NYSE: BNS) are three attractive investments that you'll want to consider if you want to create a strong portfolio of income-generating stocks. Pfizer If you're looking for a high-yielding stock to hold for the long term, Pfizer is one you'll want to strongly consider. At 7.4%, its yield right now is more than five times what you'd get with the average stock on the S&P 500, which pays about 1.3%. Pfizer's stock is trading down more than 10% this year (as of the end of last week), as it can't seem to catch a break. While its valuation is modest -- it trades at 17 times its trailing earnings -- concerns about healthcare reform and the company's future growth prospects have made investors uneasy about the business and investing in it. But the healthcare company is still doing well and is on track to hit its guidance, which calls for revenue between $61 billion and $64 billion this year (comparable to how it did last year). It is also slashing costs to improve its bottom line. And it has been less than two years since it acquired oncology company Seagen, which may unlock more long-term growth for Pfizer in the future. Last year, the company also obtained approval from regulators for its first gene therapy in the U.S. -- Beqvez, a treatment for a genetic bleeding disorder. There's some uncertainty and risk with Pfizer, but there are opportunities as well. And at such a modest valuation, now can be an excellent time to add it to your portfolio. Pfizer has been a big name in healthcare for decades, and I don't think that's likely to change anytime soon. Realty Income One dividend stock I think all income investors should consider owning is Realty Income. This is a real estate investment trust (REIT) that not only offers a high yield of 5.8%, but it also pays a dividend every month. There's no need to wait around for multiple months, as is the case with other dividend stocks; with Realty Income, you're getting a much more regular stream of cash flow. The REIT has a diverse mix of tenants, which makes it an ideal option for long-term investors. It's diversified across industries and geographies, with more than 1,500 clients across 91 industries. The dividend remains well supported -- the REIT reported funds from operations (FFO) per share of $1.05 during the first three months of the year (versus $0.94 a year ago). That averages out to $0.35 per share per month, which is higher than the rate of its monthly dividend of $0.2685. REITs use FFO to assess how much they can afford to pay in dividends, and with Realty Income's financials looking solid, there aren't any significant risks with its payout. Share prices of Realty Income are up 5% this year, and this can be a great income-generating investment to add to your portfolio for the long haul. Bank of Nova Scotia Rounding out this list of high-yielding dividend stocks is Canada-based Bank of Nova Scotia, also known as Scotiabank. At around 6%, that's a high payout for a top bank stock that is known for long-term stability. It declared its first dividend back in 1833 and has continued making regular payments since then. The bank increased its provision for credit losses in its most recent quarter, in a sign of growing concern about macroeconomic conditions. Scotiabank's net income totaled over $2 billion Canadian dollars for the period ending April 30, which was nearly identical to its bottom line in the prior-year period. There are concerns about how the Canadian economy may perform in the near future due to tariffs, but in the grand scheme of things, that may prove to be a short-term concern for investors who are willing to hang on for years. Scotiabank's impressive track record and resilience over the years should inspire some confidence in the business. The bank stock has increased its dividend by more than 22% in four years and can be an excellent option to hang on to for the long term. Not only can you collect a high yield today, but the dividend income you get from this investment can rise over the years. Should you invest $1,000 in Pfizer right now?
