The U.K.&#8217;s Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) on Thursday authorized GSK plc&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GSK#NYSE">GSK</a>) Blenrep.

This&nbsp;U.K.&nbsp;regulatory authorization <a target="_blank" href="https://otp.tools.investis.com/generic/regulatory-story.aspx?cid=410&amp;newsid=1931677" rel="noreferrer noopener">marks</a> the first in the world for&nbsp;Blenrep&nbsp;in this treatment setting.

Efficacy results from the pivotal DREAMM-7 and DREAMM-8 phase 3 trials in relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma support MHRA authorization of&nbsp;Blenrep&nbsp;combinations.
These include statistically significant and clinically meaningful progression-free survival (PFS) results for&nbsp;Blenrep&nbsp;combinations versus standards of care in both trials and overall survival (OS) in DREAMM-7.
DREAMM-7 and DREAMM-8 showed statistically significant and clinically meaningful PFS improvements for the Blenrep combinations compared to standard of care triplet combinations in the second line or later treatment of multiple myeloma.
In DREAMM-7, the&nbsp;Blenrep&nbsp;combination nearly tripled median PFS versus the daratumumab-based comparator (36.6 months versus 13.4 months, respectively.
<ul>
<li>DREAMM-7 also met the key secondary endpoint of OS, showing a statistically significant and clinically meaningful 42% reduction in the risk of death at a median follow-up of 39.4 months, favoring the Blenrep combination (n=243) versus the daratumumab-based <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/12/42420807/gsks-blood-cancer-drug-shows-improved-survival-compared-to-johnson-johnsons-darzalex" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">comparator (n=251)</a>.</li>
<li>The three-year OS rate was 74% in the Blenrep combination arm and 60% in the daratumumab combination arm. </li>
</ul>
In DREAMM-8, at a median follow-up of 21.8 months, the median PFS was not yet reached with the&nbsp;Blenrep&nbsp;combination compared to 12.7 months in the bortezomib combination.
Blenrep&nbsp;combinations are currently under review in 14 countries, including the&nbsp;U.S., with a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) date of 23 July 2025.
In 2022,&nbsp;GSK withdrew&nbsp;the U.S. marketing authorization for Blenrep following the FDA request, based on the previously announced outcome of the DREAMM-3 Phase 3 confirmatory trial,&nbsp;which did not meet the requirements of the FDA&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/11/41986367/gsk-raises-prospects-for-withdrawn-blood-cancer-drug-blenrep-to-return-to-us-market-heres-why" rel="noreferrer noopener">Accelerated Approval regulations</a>.&nbsp;

<h3>Evaluating Loews P/E in Comparison to Its Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Loews has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 17.47 of the Insurance industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1744912875_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.
