Firdapse drives Catalyst Pharmaceuticals, Inc.'s revenue with a 37% CAGR since its 2019 launch, boosted by an FDA-approved 100 mg dose expansion. Agamree targets DMD and has so far generated $46 million in its first 10 months, which does attest to its strong growth potential. However, Fycompa still faces generic competition starting May 2025. So it remains to be seen if they'll achieve a “managed and gradual” revenue decline.
