AI Summary
The EMA CHMP issued a positive opinion for Jaypirca (pirtobrutinib) in adults with CLL across all lines, sending the file to the European Commission with a decision likely in 1-2 months. Lilly also anticipates an FDA decision for US CLL indication in H2 2026. If approved in Europe, Jaypirca could broaden Lilly's CLL franchise and lift investor sentiment in the near term.
