Mesoblast Ltd

(
ASX: MSB
)

The Mesoblast share price lifted 67% to close at $1.65 on 30 June.

The ASX 200
biotech
share had a rollercoaster year, as the following chart shows.

In December 2024, Meosblast finally secured
approval
for its flagship drug, remestemcel-L, or Ryoncil, in the US.

Ryoncil treats steroid-refractory acute graft-versus-host disease (SR-aGvHD) in children.

The Mesoblast share price leapt by almost 70% between 19 December and 2 January after the approval.

The ASX 200 healthcare share peaked at a four-year high of $3.37 before commencing a gradual decline as excitement waned.

Mesoblast is now discussing an adult trial of Ryoncil with the FDA in the hope of extending the label to adult sufferers.

The biotech
has also just announced alignment with the FDA on parameters for accelerated approval
for rexlemestrocel-L (
Revascor)
.

Revascor is a treatment for patients with ischemic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and inflammation.

4.

Resmed Inc CDI (
ASX: RMD
)

The Resmed share price ascended 35% to close at $39.35 per share on 30 June.

My colleague James reckons this ASX 200 healthcare share is
a no-brainer investment
.

ResMed is a global leader in sleep apnoea treatment and is renowned for its continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) devices.

The company has a huge addressable market, with more than 1 billion people estimated to have sleep apnoea.

For a while there, investors feared that GLP-1 obesity medicines like Ozempic and Mounjaro would disrupt Resmed’s business.

But Resmed CEO Mick Farrell reckons GLP-1s have done "
the exact opposite
".

He says the remarkably effective weight loss medicines have encouraged more obesity sufferers to seek medical care, and this has resulted in higher rates of sleep apnoea diagnosis.

Resmed’s research shows a 10% increase in patients commencing CPAP therapy for sleep apnoea after being prescribed a GLP-1.

5.

Telix Pharmaceuticals Ltd


(
ASX: TLX
)

This ASX 200 healthcare share ascended 31% to close at $24.42 per share on 30 June.

Revenue from its
Illuccix
prostate cancer imaging product is growing in nations where it has approval, including the US and Australia.

Bell Potter says a new product, Zircaix, for the imaging of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), may be approved in 3Q FY26.
