Episode Details

In this week’s episode of "The Top Line," we take a deep dive into the top-line performance of the biopharma industry in the third quarter. 

After a slow start to the year, U.S. drugmakers in particular have recovered, led by Eli Lilly. We examine which companies are hot and which are not. We also look at trends that emerged in the third quarter, such as the shortfall in vaccine sales, especially in the U.S., and companies’ sales projections for the rest of the year.

Fierce Pharma’s Kevin Dunleavy and Eric Sagonowsky discuss their observations from the third quarter and put the industry’s performance in perspective compared with previous quarters. They also examine the biopharma outlook for the fourth quarter.
