Key claim: The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit issued an opinion on June 26, 2026 in Ardelyx, Inc. v. Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a challenge involving HHS/FDA action affecting the company.

Abstract

U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit opinion decided 2026-06-26.

Why this matters

D.C. Circuit rulings on HHS/FDA drug-approval decisions shape the administrative-law boundaries within which the agency reviews and denies new drug applications, with downstream effects on patient access and manufacturer investment. The Ardelyx line of litigation has been closely watched as a test of judicial deference to FDA scientific judgments in the post-Loper Bright era.
