Week in Review | AstraZeneca's Wainua Stumbles: The Clinic Pushed Back on Pharma's Deal Boom
Published 1 week, 4 days ago
Description
AstraZeneca's Wainua missed in cardiomyopathy — one of three clinical setbacks in five days even as pharma dealmaking stayed red-hot with Vertex's ~$10B Crinetics buy and GSK's biggest oncology bet in a decade. We break down what the Wainua miss means for the ATTR cardiomyopathy race, Bausch + Lomb's BL1107 glaucoma flop, the third Hengrui/Elevar liver-cancer rejection, Corcept's misread insider sale and late-2026 Cushing's catalyst for relacorilant, plus the week ahead: Q32 Bio's bempikibart in alopecia areata, Celcuity's gedatolisib FDA decision in breast cancer, Novartis's pelacarsen, and Lilly's muted Foundayo launch.
