Full Phase 3 ALKIVIA data in autoimmune myositis, to be presented as a late-breaking oral presentation at ACR Convergence 2026 (argenx, GlobeNewswire, November 7, 2026, 10:00 AM ET): the study met its primary endpoint in the combined immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy (IMNM) and dermatomyositis (DM) population, with a statistically significant and clinically meaningful 15.4-point greater improvement in mean Total Improvement Score (TIS) at Week 52 versus placebo (p=0.0011; 48.0 vs 32.6), and met key secondary endpoints in the combined population including response rate, time to response, muscle strength, and disease activity. IMNM patients showed a 14.8-point greater improvement in mean TIS versus placebo at Week 52 (p=0.0048; 45.1 vs 30.2), greater improvement in Manual Muscle Testing-8 (5.4 points versus placebo), and a 43.5 percentage-point greater reduction in creatine kinase versus placebo. DM patients showed a clinically meaningful 14.5-point greater improvement in mean TIS versus placebo (p=0.1093; 51.5 vs 37.0, not statistically significant in the smaller cohort) and a 5.6-point greater improvement in skin disease (CDASI) at Week 52. Efgartigimod was generally well tolerated, with a safety profile consistent with prior studies. Based on the ALKIVIA results, argenx plans to submit a Supplemental Biologics License Application (sBLA) to the FDA for efgartigimod in IMNM by the end of 2026, supported by a Breakthrough Therapy Designation. First Phase 3 study to demonstrate statistically significant and clinically meaningful benefit in IMNM, an autoimmune myositis subtype with no approved therapies.
Positive Phase 3 ICONIC-PsA 1 data for ICOTYDE (icotrokinra, targeted oral IL-23 receptor peptide) in biologic-naive adults with active psoriatic arthritis (Johnson & Johnson, November 7, 2026), presented as a late-breaking poster at ACR Convergence 2026: the study (NCT06878404) met its primary endpoint, with 58% of patients achieving an American College of Rheumatology 20 (ACR20) response compared with 41% receiving placebo at Week 16. ACR50 was 29% versus 16% and ACR70 was 13% versus 5% at Week 16. Among patients with qualifying skin involvement, 57% achieved clear or almost clear skin (IGA 0/1) compared with 14% on placebo (nominal p<0.001), and 37% achieved PASI 90 compared with 6% on placebo (nominal p<0.001). Response rates continued to increase numerically through Week 24 (ACR20 69%, ACR50 40%, ACR70 18%; IGA 0/1 64% and PASI 90 56% among patients with qualifying baseline skin involvement). Safety data through Week 24 were consistent with the established safety profile of ICOTYDE, with no new safety signals identified. ICOTYDE is not approved for the treatment of active psoriatic arthritis.

Following FDA feedback, Satellos changed the primary efficacy endpoint in the BASECAMP Phase 2 trial of forazapadin in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (ambulatory boys ages 7, 8 or 9) to change in vastus lateralis fat fraction measured by MRI, replacing dynamometry, and submitted a protocol amendment to implement the new endpoint. The company said fat fraction, together with clinical endpoints, may support a potential accelerated approval pathway for forazapadin. Topline data from the 12-week placebo-controlled period are expected in Q1 2027. The release also reiterated open-label Phase 2 TRAILHEAD data in adults with DMD: a mean 3.7 percentage-point reduction in MRI-measured muscle fat fraction of the biceps brachii, from 49.7% at baseline to 46.0% at Day 140.

New translational data from the randomized Phase 2 OVATION 2 study of IMNN-001 in newly diagnosed advanced ovarian cancer, presented at SITC 2026 (IMUNON, November 6, 2026): analysis of paired patient biopsies showed IMNN-001 increased CD8+/Treg, CD8+/CD4+ and CD8+/IDO+ ratios in both tumor and stroma, which the company said provides an immunological mechanism for the 14.7-month improvement in final median overall survival reported in OVATION 2 (45.1 months versus 30.4 months with standard-of-care chemotherapy alone) and a three-month improvement in median progression-free survival. The pivotal Phase 3 OVATION 3 trial is enrolling. The release gives no new safety summary.
Phase 1/2 data for brenetafusp plus KIMMTRAK (tebentafusp) in HLA-A*02:01-positive metastatic uveal melanoma, presented at SITC 2026 (Immunocore, November 6, 2026): in 17 evaluable first-line patients on the combination, overall response rate was 29%, median duration of response 24.1 months, disease control rate 71%, median progression-free survival 8.1 months, and median overall survival was not reached at a median follow-up of 29 months, with overall survival rates of 88% at one year and 70% at two years and 10 patients remaining on study. In 16 evaluable patients on brenetafusp monotherapy in the second-line or later setting, overall response rate was 19%, median duration of response 14.5 months, disease control rate 63%, median progression-free survival 4.2 months and median overall survival 20.3 months. Safety was generally well tolerated with no new signals; cytokine release syndrome occurred in 77% of combination patients and 73% of monotherapy patients, mostly Grade 1 or 2, and no treatment-related adverse event led to discontinuation or death. The company is planning DUET-UVEAL, a randomized Phase 2/3 trial of the combination.
Peer-reviewed publication of first-in-human Phase 1 data for izicopan (formerly INF904), an oral C5a receptor inhibitor, in Clinical Pharmacology in Drug Development (InflaRx, November 6, 2026): in the randomized, placebo-controlled single- and multiple-ascending-dose study in 86 healthy participants, izicopan was well tolerated at single doses from 3 mg to 240 mg and at multiple doses up to 90 mg twice daily for 14 days, with adverse events mild or moderate and no serious adverse events. Single doses of at least 10 mg generally produced greater than 90% blockade of C5a-induced CD11b upregulation within two to four hours. The company noted the results were previously announced.

New biomarker data from the Phase 2 trial of personalized cancer vaccine EVX-01 in advanced melanoma (Evaxion, November 6, 2026): EVX-01-induced neoantigen-specific T cells were detected directly ex vivo, which the company said indicates strong EVX-01-induced immune responses; ex vivo responses were dominated by CD4+ T-cells, while CD8+ T-cell responses were observed in half of patients. The data also showed a significant association (p<0.001) between predictions by the company's AI-Immunology platform and actual T-cell responses. The biomarker data supplement the recently published three-year data showing 89% vaccine target precision and sustained T-cell and clinical responses (two-year objective response rate 75%, 12 of 16 patients, with four complete responses). The release gives no safety summary. Data presented in oral and poster sessions at SITC 2026 (abstract 502). Announced November 6, 2026 (GlobeNewswire, 11:00 ET).

Updated interim monotherapy data from the ongoing Phase 1/2a trial of [212Pb]lapemelanotide zapixetar (VMT01) in heavily pretreated advanced melanoma, presented at SITC 2026 (Perspective Therapeutics, November 6, 2026): among 20 patients treated across three monotherapy dose cohorts as of the September 18, 2026 data cutoff (NCT05655312), at the focus dose of 3.0 mCi two of the eight patients in the monotherapy cohort had objective partial responses, one remaining in partial response approximately 40 weeks after first treatment, with a disease control rate of 75% including two patients with long-lasting disease stabilization. Across all 20 monotherapy patients, no dose-limiting toxicities, treatment-related serious adverse events, or discontinuations due to adverse events were reported; Grade 3 or higher treatment-emergent adverse events occurred in five patients (25%), none considered treatment-related.
Clinical and biomarker data from three SITC 2026 poster presentations (Candel Therapeutics, November 6, 2026): in the Phase 2 PrTK05 trial of aglatimagene plus standard-of-care radiation in intermediate-risk localized prostate cancer, CD8+ cytotoxic T cells increased at 2-6 weeks after the first injection (p<0.05), supporting the planned BLA submission. In the Phase 2a trial of aglatimagene in progressive non-squamous NSCLC, median overall survival was 25.4 months, 23 of 46 patients (50%) were alive at 24 months, and biomarker features including increases in CD40L, NCR1, CXCL5 and granzyme B were associated with survival beyond 24 months. In the Phase 1b trial of linoserpaturev in recurrent glioblastoma, median overall survival was 12.0 months in Arms A+B (50 patients) and 14.3 months in Arm C (12 patients receiving up to six administrations).
52-week open-label extension data from the Phase 2 study of HRS/BHB-1893, a next-generation cardiac myosin inhibitor, in obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, presented at AHA Scientific Sessions 2026 (Hengrui Pharma and Braveheart Bio, November 6, 2026): after the 12-week core period and a washout period, all 42 patients (NCT06516068) restarted HRS/BHB-1893 for an additional 52 weeks in the OLE. At Week 52, peak oxygen uptake (pVO2) increased by a mean of 2.7 mL/kg/min from OLE baseline, with 70% of patients achieving a ≥1.5 mL/kg/min improvement and 50% achieving a ≥3.0 mL/kg/min improvement; Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire Clinical Summary Score (KCCQ-CSS) increased by a mean of 17.3 points, with 45% achieving a ≥20-point improvement; 60% of patients achieved NYHA Class I. At Week 52, 79% of patients (33/42) achieved a Valsalva LVOT gradient below 30 mmHg, with 90% achieving a Valsalva gradient <30 mmHg at one or more visits during the treatment period; 57% of patients (24/42) were maintained on the 40 mg twice-daily (BID) starting dose. HRS/BHB-1893 was generally well tolerated across the 52-week OLE period, with no on-treatment severe or serious adverse events, all on-treatment treatment-emergent adverse events mild or moderate in severity, and no adverse events leading to permanent study drug discontinuation; two patients had transient reductions in LVEF below 50% (48% and 49% site-measured) and both resumed treatment at a lower dose. In a separate presentation, post hoc analyses of the completed Phase 2 study in non-obstructive HCM (NCT06816251, 84 patients) showed HRS/BHB-1893 improved indices of diastolic function while preserving systolic function. A planned fixed-dose Phase 2b study in oHCM (TRUEHEART-HCM) was discussed.

New and updated Phase 1 ELIMINATE-B data for PBGENE-HBV in chronic hepatitis B, announced ahead of a late-breaking oral presentation at AASLD The Liver Meeting 2026 (Precision BioSciences, November 5, 2026): as of the September 28, 2026 data cutoff, 25 patients had received 59 administrations across four dose levels (NCT06680232). Among 12 evaluable patients with detectable pgRNA at baseline, 11 (92%) achieved pgRNA loss to undetectable, including all six evaluable patients at the go-forward dose of 0.4 mg/kg, and 100% of patients with at least six months of follow-up maintained undetectable pgRNA. Paired liver biopsies from two patients at 0.4 mg/kg showed approximately 1-log (10-fold) and 1.5-log (35-fold) reductions in cccDNA. All 24 evaluable patients had HBsAg reductions, with maximal reductions approaching 94% at 0.4 mg/kg. No dose-limiting toxicities were observed and no serious adverse events occurred at 0.4 mg/kg; the most common adverse events were infusion-related reactions. Precision selected 0.4 mg/kg as the go-forward dose and is initiating the global ELIMINATE-B2 Phase 2 study, with dosing expected in the first quarter of 2027.

Eli Lilly discontinued the Phase 2 program for mevidalen (LY3154207) in symptomatic Alzheimer's disease, disclosed in its third-quarter 2026 earnings update, which listed mevidalen among the assets removed from the pipeline (Fierce Biotech, October 29, 2026). A Lilly spokesperson told Fierce Biotech the program "did not meet our high internal bar for success"; Lilly has not disclosed detailed results from the Alzheimer's trial and has not clarified whether the decision affects mevidalen's development in other indications. The Phase 2 trial, begun in August 2024, evaluated mevidalen in 304 patients with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease dementia, assessing safety and effects on cognition, daily activities and other symptoms, and completed about six months ago. Mevidalen is a dopamine D1 receptor positive allosteric modulator; in 2021 it failed to meet primary and secondary cognitive endpoints in a separate Phase 2 trial in Lewy body dementia.
Positive results from the completed first-in-human Phase 1 healthy volunteer trial of KT-579 (oral IRF5 degrader), reported with third-quarter 2026 financial results (GlobeNewswire, October 29, 2026): the trial met or exceeded its objectives and established proof of mechanism. In the multiple ascending dose portion, KT-579 showed deep, sustained IRF5 degradation in blood, with ≥90% median degradation across multiple dose levels and saturation of degradation by dose level 3; similar reductions in IRF5 levels were observed in skin. Ex vivo-stimulated IRF5-dependent biomarkers at Day 14 (median of all MAD dose cohorts) showed inhibition of 88% of TNFα, 87% of IL-12/23p40, 94% of IL-1β, and 98% of IFNβ, with broad downregulation of inflammatory cytokine, interferon and B-cell associated gene transcripts. Safety was comparable to placebo: no serious or severe adverse events, no AEs leading to discontinuation, very few mild treatment-related AEs, and no dose-dependent pattern in treatment-emergent AEs. The LUMORA Phase 1b trial of KT-579 in approximately 30 adults with systemic lupus erythematosus (16 weeks of dosing) is planned to start by early 2027. The company also reported the last patient completed the week 16 visit in the KT-621 (STAT6) BROADEN2 Phase 2b atopic dermatitis trial, with topline data to be reported by year-end 2026, and $1.6 billion in cash, cash equivalents and investments as of September 30, 2026, with runway into 2029.

KRAS wild-type subgroup ORR was 43.3% (13 of 30) versus 11.4% (4 of 35) in KRAS-mutant disease, with both complete responses in KRAS wild-type tumors; a biomarker-enriched subgroup (KRAS wild-type, HER2 wild-type, current or former smoker) achieved a 59.1% ORR (13 of 22). Response durability and safety remained consistent with previous reports, with an updated reduced-dose lymphodepletion regimen improving the overall safety profile. Cohorts 1 and 2 are completing enrollment (approximately 80 patients expected in the final dataset) and support a planned sBLA for lifileucel in non-squamous mNSCLC in 2027; POSITILITY, a prospective biomarker-enriched cohort with registrational intent, begins enrollment in November 2026. In frontline Cohort 3A of IOV-COM-202, 6 of 7 biomarker-matched patients responded to lifileucel plus pembrolizumab (ORR 85.7%).

FDA cleared the Investigational New Drug (IND) application for exaluren for the treatment of nonsense-mutation autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) (PR Newswire, October 29, 2026). The clearance enables Eloxx to open U.S. clinical sites for EXPRESS, its global Phase 2 study of exaluren in nonsense-mutation ADPKD. EXPRESS will randomize approximately 60 adults with genetically confirmed PKD1 or PKD2 nonsense mutations 1:1 to exaluren or placebo for 52 weeks, with the annualized rate of change in height-adjusted total kidney volume (htTKV, by MRI) as the primary endpoint; first patient dosing is expected in 3Q 2027 and topline 52-week data in 1H 2029. In written pre-IND feedback, FDA indicated that a substantial and durable htTKV effect, with supporting eGFR and safety data, could support Breakthrough Therapy Designation, and FDA lists change in htTKV as a potential surrogate endpoint for accelerated approval in ADPKD. Exaluren, a small-molecule ribosomal modulator designed to promote readthrough of premature stop codons, holds orphan drug designation for ADPKD in the United States and Europe.

Positive topline results from TRANSCEND-T2D-2 (NCT06260722), a Phase 3 head-to-head trial of retatrutide vs injectable Ozempic 2 mg in adults with type 2 diabetes inadequately controlled with metformin, with or without an SGLT2 inhibitor (PR Newswire, October 28, 2026): 1,298 participants randomized 2:2:1 to retatrutide 9 mg, retatrutide 12 mg or Ozempic 2 mg. At 80 weeks retatrutide met the primary and all key secondary endpoints. Change in A1C from an average baseline of 8.3%: -2.2% (9 mg) and -2.2% (12 mg) vs -1.8% with Ozempic. Percent change in body weight from an average baseline of 102.4 kg (225.8 lbs; BMI 36.8 kg/m2): -19.5% (-20.1 kg; -44.3 lbs) at 9 mg and -20.9% (-21.5 kg; -47.4 lbs) at 12 mg vs -9.4% (-9.5 kg; -20.9 lbs) with Ozempic (p<0.001 vs Ozempic for the family-wise controlled comparisons). Retatrutide also delivered greater improvements than Ozempic across certain cardiovascular risk factors, including non-HDL cholesterol, triglycerides and systolic blood pressure. Most common adverse events with retatrutide (9 mg, 12 mg vs Ozempic) were diarrhea (28.3%, 32.7% vs 26.4%), nausea (21.2%, 23.8% vs 21.3%), constipation (14.2%, 13.1% vs 19.8%), vomiting (10.2%, 15.0% vs 13.2%) and dyspepsia (10.4%, 8.5% vs 11.6%); dysesthesia incidence was 4.8%, 6.5% vs 2.7% and urinary tract infections 5.8%, 4.2% vs 5.8%. Most events were mild to moderate. Treatment discontinuation rates due to adverse events were 4.8% (9 mg) and 7.9% (12 mg) vs 2.7% with Ozempic. TRANSCEND-T2D-2 is the sixth Phase 3 trial in which retatrutide has delivered efficacy in Lilly's program; detailed results will be presented at a future medical meeting.

Positive topline results from the global Phase 3 LiGeR-HN1 trial (NCT06525220, Business Wire, October 28, 2026) of petosemtamab (EGFR x LGR5 bispecific antibody) in combination with pembrolizumab versus pembrolizumab alone in first-line PD-L1 positive recurrent/metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC): at the first interim analysis assessed by an independent data monitoring committee (IDMC), the combination met both dual primary endpoints, demonstrating a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in overall survival (OS: HR 0.50 (95% CI, 0.37, 0.67); p<0.0001, a 50% reduction in the risk of death) and objective response rate (ORR: odds ratio 3.17 (95% CI, 2.06, 4.89); p<0.0001) versus pembrolizumab, regardless of HPV status. The safety profile of petosemtamab in combination with pembrolizumab was generally well tolerated and consistent with the previously reported safety profiles of the individual agents, with no new safety signals identified. Genmab plans to engage global regulatory authorities and will submit the full results for presentation at a future medical meeting.
Discontinued the Phase 3 IMpactMF trial of imetelstat in JAK inhibitor relapsed/refractory myelofibrosis (GlobeNewswire, October 28, 2026): Geron announced the decision to discontinue IMpactMF based on a recommendation from the independent Data Monitoring Committee (DMC). The independent DMC advised Geron that the trial was unlikely to meet its primary endpoint of overall survival. There were no new safety signals observed in the trial that change the known safety profile of imetelstat or require additional safety monitoring. IMpactMF evaluated 327 patients with intermediate-2 or high-risk myelofibrosis who were relapsed or refractory to a JAK inhibitor, randomized 2:1 in an open-label, controlled trial designed to evaluate a potential improvement in overall survival compared to best available therapy; patients in the imetelstat arm received 9.4 mg/kg IV every three weeks. A detailed analysis of the data will be conducted and study findings will be shared with the scientific community at a future date. Imetelstat is marketed as RYTELO, approved in the U.S. and EU for certain patients with lower-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (LR-MDS).
Interim clinical data from the TREGCHECK program evaluating tagmokitug, its investigational cytolytic CCR8 antibody, in combination with toripalimab, with or without chemotherapy (GlobeNewswire, October 28, 2026): First-line ESCC (Phase 1b TREGCHECK 102 Cohort C; tagmokitug 700 mg plus toripalimab, 5-fluorouracil and cisplatin; as of October 14, 2026, 10 patients safety evaluable and 8 efficacy evaluable): confirmed ORR 75% (6/8) irrespective of PD-L1 status and 100% in PD-L1 positive patients; subsequent to the data cutoff, two additional partial responses were confirmed, increasing the confirmed ORR to 89% (8/9); 1 confirmed complete response. Second-line ESCC (Cohort B; randomized tagmokitug 300 mg or 700 mg plus toripalimab; 17 safety evaluable, 8 efficacy evaluable): in the 700 mg arm, clinical benefit rate 33.3% (2/6), confirmed ORR 16.7% (1/6) and median PFS 5.5 months. Other cohorts: 2L HNSCC HPV-positive confirmed ORR 13.0% (3/23) and CBR 26.1% (6/23); 2L upper GI (GC/GEJ/EAC) at 700 mg confirmed ORR 23.5% (4/17); 4L+ non-liver-metastatic MSS CRC confirmed ORR 5.9% and CBR 11.8%. Safety: in more than 120 patients treated with tagmokitug in combination with toripalimab, no new safety signals beyond those associated with PD-1/immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy and no Grade 5 treatment-related adverse events; overall immune-related adverse events 40% (all grades) and 20% Grade 3-5; most common treatment-related adverse events were infusion-related reactions (25.0%), fatigue (19.2%) and rash (15.8%); monotherapy in 33 patients showed no dose-limiting toxicities through 1200 mg every three weeks. Coherus plans to expand enrollment in first-line and second-line ESCC cohorts. Tagmokitug is being evaluated in Phase 1b/2a trials TREGCHECK 101 (NCT05635643) and TREGCHECK 102 (NCT06657144).
Positive interim clinical results from the ongoing BB-301 Phase 1b/2a first-in-human study (NCT06185673) in dysphagic patients with oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy (OPMD) (GlobeNewswire, October 28, 2026): updated analyses include 12-month post-treatment follow-up for all six patients in Cohort 1 (low dose) and available follow-up for all three patients in Cohort 2 (high dose; 9 months for the first patient, 3 months for the second and third). 100% of patients treated with BB-301 across both doses are formal Responders to therapy (all six Cohort 1 and all three Cohort 2 patients). At the 3-month post-treatment time-point, 67% of Cohort 1 and 100% of Cohort 2 patients met the statistical criteria for response for improved throat emptying ability (videofluoroscopic evaluation of post-swallow food and liquid residue), and 17% of Cohort 1 and 67% of Cohort 2 patients met the criteria for improved functional swallowing capacity (Cold-Water Timed Drinking Test); 100% of patients in both cohorts met the criteria for improved total Sydney Swallow Questionnaire score and 67% in both cohorts for improved throat closing ability. There have been no Serious Adverse Events in any patient treated with BB-301 to date. Benitec is advancing toward a pivotal study in mid-2027.

Positive topline results from the Phase 3 Study 3601 (VP-VLY-686-3601) of NEREUS (tradipitant), an oral neurokinin-1 (NK-1) receptor antagonist, for prevention of vomiting associated with GLP-1 receptor agonist therapy (PR Newswire, October 27, 2026): randomized, placebo-controlled study using a single 1 mg semaglutide dose without titration (n=142 tradipitant, 164 placebo). The study met its primary endpoint (any vomiting): 43.0% (61/142) vs 58.5% (96/164) on placebo (p=0.006, adjusted for site), a 27% relative reduction. Key secondary (any vomiting with worst nausea >=3): 33.1% (47/142) vs 50.6% (83/164) (p=0.002), a 35% relative reduction. Frequent multi-day vomiting (>2 episodes on more than one day): 6.3% vs 15.9% (p=0.008), 60% relative reduction; extreme vomiting (>10 total episodes): 2.8% vs 14.6% (p=0.0003), 81% relative reduction (higher-burden analyses post hoc/supportive). Generally well tolerated, safety consistent with prior studies, no new safety signals. Vanda plans to discuss the results with the FDA and is planning a supplemental NDA (sNDA) for prevention of vomiting associated with GLP-1 receptor agonist therapy. Announced October 27, 2026 (06:50 ET, PR Newswire).

Positive clinical and molecular results from the first five patients to complete treatment in the expanded access study (NCT06478641) of tafenoquine-containing combination regimens (tafenoquine plus atovaquone and other antimalarial or antibiotic medications) in relapsing babesiosis in immunosuppressed patients (GlobeNewswire, October 27, 2026): all five completed patients (100%) reported being much improved or very much improved on study-completion forms and had negative conventional PCR test results for Babesia documented during treatment or subsequent follow-up; four of the five (80%) were also nonreactive on a highly sensitive blood-donor nucleic acid amplification test (NAT) for Babesia performed on blood collected 66-120 days after completion of tafenoquine treatment, while the remaining patient had a reactive blood-donor NAT despite a negative follow-up conventional PCR result from Mayo Clinic. Two additional patients remain on treatment, bringing total enrollment to seven, and the study remains open pending potential discussions with the FDA. The Company plans to pursue accelerated approval if the efficacy section of its registration dossier is based primarily on data from immunosuppressed patients with relapsing babesiosis, proposing post-treatment blood-donor NAT nonreactivity as a surrogate endpoint; the separate randomized, placebo-controlled study of tafenoquine added to standard of care in patients hospitalized for babesiosis (NCT06207370) is expected to unblind in January 2027, after which the Company intends to request a pre-sNDA meeting. Tafenoquine is FDA-approved for malaria prophylaxis as ARAKODA but is not FDA-approved for babesiosis.

Positive topline results from the Phase 3 MagnetisMM-32 study of ELREXFIO (elranatamab) monotherapy in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (Business Wire, October 27, 2026): at the pre-specified interim analysis for efficacy, the trial met its primary endpoint of progression-free survival (PFS) by blinded independent central review, demonstrating a statistically significant and clinically meaningful reduction in the risk of disease progression or death versus investigator's choice of elotuzumab, pomalidomide and dexamethasone (EloPd), pomalidomide, bortezomib and dexamethasone (PVd), or carfilzomib and dexamethasone (Kd). The study enrolled 523 adults across 26 countries who had received at least one prior line of treatment with anti-CD38 therapy (daratumumab or isatuximab) and lenalidomide. Median PFS was not yet reached; more than 75% of patients receiving ELREXFIO had not experienced disease progression or death at the time of the analysis, with an estimated 68% PFS at 18 months. Overall survival, a key secondary endpoint, was immature, with follow-up continuing to the next pre-specified OS analysis. Safety was consistent with the known profile of ELREXFIO and no new safety signals were identified; Grade 3 or higher infections occurred in 27.5% of patients receiving ELREXFIO vs 18.1% on investigator's choice, and Grade 5 infections in 0.8% vs 1.6%. Pfizer plans to submit these data to global health authorities.
Updated data from Cohort 4 of the Phase 1/2 GOBLET study of pelareorep in combination with atezolizumab (Tecentriq) in second-line or later squamous cell anal cancer (SCAC) (GlobeNewswire, October 27, 2026): median overall survival had not yet been reached, and median duration of response was approximately 15 months, versus a historical 9.5 months for FDA-approved retifanlimab monotherapy in a similar population; all patients who responded survived beyond 12 months, including multiple patients surviving over 24 months. The release reports no objective response rate, patient count, or safety figures for the cohort. More than 90% of SCAC cases are associated with human papillomavirus (HPV). Following recent FDA interactions and receipt of Fast Track designation, the Company plans to explore additional clinical studies with a potential checkpoint inhibitor partner to support registrational development in SCAC, believes the durable responses may support an accelerated approval pathway with overall survival supporting full approval (subject to FDA agreement), and sees potential expansion into HPV-associated head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, where HPV accounts for approximately 70% of oropharyngeal cancers in the United States and pelareorep has not yet been evaluated in combination with a checkpoint inhibitor.
Novartis discontinued the Phase III study of remibrutinib (oral BTK inhibitor, marketed as Rhapsido) in generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG) following a futility analysis which indicated the treatment was unlikely to meet its efficacy objectives, disclosed in the R&D update of its third-quarter 2026 results release (GlobeNewswire, October 27, 2026). No safety concerns were identified, and Novartis said there is no impact on remibrutinib studies in other indications. The gMG study is the Phase 3 RELIEVE trial (NCT06744920), a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of remibrutinib versus placebo on stable standard of care, with change in MG-ADL total score at Month 6 as the primary measure. Remibrutinib remains in development in relapsing multiple sclerosis after the positive Phase III REMODEL-1 and REMODEL-2 results and is FDA-approved in chronic spontaneous urticaria and symptomatic dermographism.

Updated Phase 1/2 data for BEAM-301, an in vivo base editor correcting the R83C mutation in glycogen storage disease type Ia (GSDIa), presented at ESGCT 2026 (data cutoff August 17, 2026; updates the October 13, 2026 release, data cutoff June 26, 2026): 6 patients received a single infusion (3 at 20 mg, 3 at 40 mg), median follow-up 7.6 months (range: 1.9–16.6 months). Dose-dependent improvements in time to fasting hypoglycemia: median increased from 2.9 hours at baseline to 4.3 hours at Day 36 in the 20 mg cohort and from 2.5 hours to 15.0 hours in the 40 mg cohort; 2 of 3 patients in the 40 mg cohort achieved the protocol-defined maximum controlled fasting duration of 15 hours and achieved a 100% reduction in daily starch requirements, no longer requiring starch supplementation. Safety consistent with LNP-based therapies: no dose-limiting toxicities, Grade 4 or 5 treatment-emergent adverse events, or treatment discontinuations; 4 of 6 patients experienced serious TEAEs considered related to BEAM-301, including 3 Grade 3 infusion-related reactions; other serious TEAEs of diarrhea and rhabdomyolysis resolved; transaminase elevations were mostly Grade 1 (one Grade 2 AST) and resolved. Beam is advancing into the 60 mg dose cohort (enrollment underway) and plans to engage the FDA on a potential path to approval. Announced October 27, 2026 (07:00 ET, GlobeNewswire).
Artiva discontinues development of AlloNK (AB-101) and evaluates strategic alternatives (GlobeNewswire, October 27, 2026): updated clinical data continued to show deep B-cell depletion and clinical activity consistent with previously reported findings, but longer-term follow-up showed durability of clinical response did not meet the threshold the Company required to support continued development of AlloNK plus rituximab in rheumatoid arthritis and other B-cell-driven autoimmune diseases. Two recent Grade 5 events were reported: a Phase 2a basket-trial participant experienced fatal leukoencephalopathy following study treatment (lymphodepletion with cyclophosphamide and fludarabine), assessed by the investigator and an independent safety review as likely related to fludarabine-associated neurotoxicity; Artiva reported it to the FDA, investigators and the DSMB, after which the FDA asked Artiva to pause enrollment and dosing in the Phase 2a study, and the Company also paused planned Phase 3 enrollment and dosing. A second participant experienced sudden death approximately two months after initiating study treatment, assessed as unrelated to AlloNK or any other component of the study treatment, with the cause of death not determined. No additional patients will be dosed in any ongoing AlloNK clinical study and the planned Phase 3 pivotal trial will not be initiated; the clinical development program will be closed out in coordination with the FDA, investigators and IRBs. Artiva is reducing its workforce by approximately 94% and has engaged Leerink Partners as financial advisor for an evaluation of strategic alternatives, which may include a merger, business combination, sale or licensing of assets, or dissolution and liquidation. Cash, cash equivalents and investments were approximately $319.1 million as of September 30, 2026 (preliminary and unaudited). The previously announced ACR Convergence 2026 data presentation will not proceed and the investor webcast scheduled for November 9, 2026 is cancelled.
Positive primary analysis results from the Phase 1b proof-of-concept (POC) trials of ATI-052 (anti-TSLP/IL-4Ralpha bispecific antibody) in atopic dermatitis (AD) and asthma (GlobeNewswire, October 27, 2026; also furnished as EX-99.1 to the October 27, 2026 8-K, accession 0001104659-26-118952). Both trials achieved the primary objective (safety and tolerability). AD trial: randomized (3:1), double-blind, placebo-controlled, 14 patients with severe AD given five weekly 480 mg doses of ATI-052 or placebo (weeks 0-4), primary analysis at day 57 (4 patients excluded from the prespecified per-protocol analysis). EASI: 45% placebo-adjusted mean change from baseline at day 57 (absolute change 58% in the active arm vs 13% on placebo); 78% placebo-adjusted EASI-50 at day 57. Itch (PP-NRS): 43% placebo-adjusted mean improvement at day 57 (38% absolute improvement in the active arm vs a 5% worsening on placebo), with relief emerging in the first week. Pharmacodynamics: 95% normalization in the lesional skin proteome at week 8. Asthma trial: randomized (3:1), double-blind, placebo-controlled, 16 patients with mild-to-moderate asthma and baseline FeNO of at least 35 ppb given a single 480 mg dose, endpoints through day 29. FeNO: 59% mean absolute reduction (45 ppb) at day 15 vs 15% on placebo, and a 40% reduction at day 29; 58% of ATI-052 patients achieved FeNO normalization (<=25 ppb) at day 15. FEV1: placebo-adjusted and absolute mean improvement of 200 ml at day 15; in a post hoc subgroup with baseline FEV1 <80% and reversibility, absolute mean FEV1 improvement was 350 ml at day 15 vs a worsening of -140 ml on placebo. Safety: treatment-emergent adverse events were predominantly Grade 1, there were no Grade 3 or 4 TEAEs and no adverse events led to study discontinuation; injection site reactions were transient, almost exclusively Grade 1 and at low frequency; no conjunctivitis was observed. Aclaris intends to prioritize Phase 2b development of ATI-052 initially in eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), with a Phase 2b trial planned to initiate early next year.

Positive Phase 3 SANOVO full results presented at ESMO 2026 (Proffered Paper session, abstract LBA69): ORPATHYS (savolitinib) + TAGRISSO (osimertinib) showed a statistically significant and highly clinically meaningful improvement in progression-free survival vs TAGRISSO alone in treatment-naive EGFR-mutated locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC with MET overexpression in China (n=326), with median PFS 24.9 vs 13.8 months in the intention-to-treat population (HR 0.56, p<0.0001) and 24.8 vs 11.1 months in the high-MET (IHC 3+) population (HR 0.45), and median OS 44.5 vs 34.9 months (HR 0.48). No new safety concerns were reported, and a supplemental NDA in China is planned for the first-line setting.
Positive results from the pivotal Phase 3 ARTEMIS-011 trial of risvutatug rezetecan (Ris-Rez), a B7-H3-targeted antibody-drug conjugate licensed from Hansoh Pharma, in patients in China with osteosarcoma that had progressed or relapsed after at least two prior lines of systemic therapy (GSK, October 26, 2026), presented as a late-breaking abstract in a Presidential Symposium session at ESMO Congress 2026: the trial met its primary endpoint of Independent Review Committee-assessed progression-free survival (PFS) versus chemotherapy (gemcitabine plus docetaxel), reducing the risk of disease progression or death by 67% after a median follow-up of 7.1 months (HR 0.33; 95% CI 0.20-0.55; p<0.0001), with median PFS of 5.5 months on Ris-Rez versus 1.4 months on chemotherapy. Patients were randomised 1:1 to Ris-Rez 12.0 mg/kg every 3 weeks or gemcitabine 1,000 mg/m2 on days 1 and 8 plus docetaxel 75 mg/m2 on day 8 every 3 weeks. Safety was consistent with prior findings in this tumour type: Grade 3 or higher treatment-related adverse events occurred in 93% of patients receiving Ris-Rez and 83% receiving chemotherapy, most commonly haematologic events, and treatment-related adverse events led to discontinuation in 4% versus 2%. The results will support a regulatory submission by Hansoh in China. GSK holds exclusive rights to Ris-Rez outside mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan, and its global Phase 2 trial in advanced osteosarcoma and soft tissue sarcoma is ongoing. This is Hansoh's second positive Phase 3 study for Ris-Rez in China.

Final positive data from the Phase IIa clinical study of namodenoson (selective A3 adenosine receptor agonist) in advanced pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (GlobeNewswire, October 26, 2026), presented at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress 2026: the single-center, open-label study enrolled 20 patients who received namodenoson 25 mg twice daily (14 third-line, three second-line, three fourth-line) and achieved its primary safety endpoint, with only five adverse events in three patients considered related or possibly related to namodenoson, all mild to moderate (Grade 1-2), no Grade >=3 treatment-related adverse events and no treatment-related serious adverse events. In a post hoc exploratory analysis of eight third-line patients who survived beyond two months, median overall survival was 6.28 months and median progression-free survival was 2.27 months; one second-line patient achieved progression-free survival of 16.39 months and overall survival exceeding 20.7 months as of the September 23, 2026 data cutoff. The company noted the subgroup was selected based on survival with no randomized comparator, so the findings are hypothesis-generating.
Topline results from the DYNASTY-Breast02 global Phase 3 trial (NCT06018337, GlobeNewswire, October 26, 2026): trastuzumab pamirtecan met its primary endpoint with a statistically significant, yet modest improvement in progression-free survival (PFS) versus investigator's choice of chemotherapy in chemotherapy-naive patients with HR+/HER2-low metastatic breast cancer who progressed on endocrine therapy (541 patients randomized 1:1). At the interim analysis, overall survival data were not mature. A higher rate of interstitial lung disease (ILD) was reported versus prior trials, mostly Grade 1 and 2, with severe and fatal events (Grade 3-5) in a small proportion of patients; otherwise the safety profile was consistent with prior trials and no new safety signals were observed. The companies said the available data suggest the potential benefit to patients would be limited in the current HR+/HER2-low metastatic breast cancer treatment landscape and that they will discuss the data and determine next steps.

Positive prespecified interim results from the Phase 3 V012 trial (NCT05908084) of the acellular tissue engineered vessel (ATEV) vs arteriovenous (AV) fistula for hemodialysis access in female patients with end-stage kidney disease, presented as a late-breaking oral at ASN Kidney Week 2026 (GlobeNewswire, October 23, 2026): interim analysis of the first 80 patients (trial designed to enroll approximately 150, randomized 1:1) met the primary endpoint of catheter-free days from access creation through 365 days, with women implanted with the ATEV averaging 220.4 catheter-free days vs 129.3 days with AV fistula (+91 days; p<0.001, superiority); because the trial met its primary endpoint, enrollment was stopped. Median time to functional access was 1.7 months with the ATEV vs 5.3 months with fistula, and only approximately 65% of AV fistulas achieved functional maturation by Month 12. Safety was comparable to fistula: dialysis access infections of approximately 6 per 100 patient-years with the ATEV vs 23 per 100 patient-years with fistula, none of the ATEV infections related to the vessel itself, and no spontaneous ruptures in either group. Humacyte targets submission of a supplemental BLA to expand the Symvess (ATEV) label to AV access for hemodialysis this quarter.

Randomized Phase 2 AMPLIFY-7P results for camupepimut (ELI-002 7P) vs observation in mutant KRAS-driven pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma following completion of standard locoregional therapy (144 patients enrolled across 24 U.S. sites), presented as a late-breaking oral at ESMO Congress 2026 and simultaneously published in Nature Medicine (GlobeNewswire, October 23, 2026): the study did not meet its pre-specified primary disease-free survival (DFS) endpoint in the intent-to-treat population (HR 0.85), in the context of a baseline imbalance in ctDNA positivity, a strong predictor of recurrence, which was more prevalent in the camupepimut arm (20.8% vs. 12.5%). In the 93 patients with baseline ctDNA-negative status, median DFS was not reached in the camupepimut arm vs. 21.2 months in the observation arm (HR 0.51; nominal p=0.0280), with recurrence or death in 27.4% (17/62) vs. 48.4% (15/31); in the ctDNA-positive subgroup (n=26), median DFS was 4.3 months vs. 1.9 months (HR 0.57; nominal p=0.0489); in patients without prior radiation (n=106), median DFS was 23.8 months vs. 10.4 months (HR 0.59; nominal p=0.0221). A multivariable model adjusting for baseline factors estimated adjusted HR 0.47 (p=0.0086). Safety: generally well tolerated, no new safety signals; Grade 3 or higher adverse events in 10.4% of camupepimut patients vs. 14.6% under observation, serious adverse events in 6.3% and 8.3% respectively, and no adverse events led to withdrawal of study medication. Elicio plans to discuss the findings with the FDA to inform a potential Phase 3 study in adjuvant pancreatic cancer.
Clinical data from Eikon's PARP1-selective and WRN helicase programs presented at the ESMO Congress 2026 in Madrid (GlobeNewswire, October 23, 2026). EIK1003 (Phase 1/2 trial EIK1003-001, NCT06253130, in advanced solid tumors with HRR gene mutations) monotherapy Cohort 1A ORR was 14.3% (7/49; 31.3% in PARP-naive participants) with disease control rate 38.8% (19/49) and median duration of response 6.3 months in confirmed responders; EIK1003 combinations showed ORR 20.8% (5/24) with abiraterone in metastatic prostate cancer (PSA response 30.8%, 12/39) and ORR 26.4% (14/53) with weekly paclitaxel in platinum-resistant ovarian or HER2-negative breast cancer (DCR 79.2%). Initial EIK1004 monotherapy data (Phase 1/2 trial EIK1004-001, NCT06907043, in ovarian, breast, prostate and pancreatic cancers) showed ORR 12.1% (7/58) and DCR 62.1% (36/58), generally well tolerated with Grade 3 or higher TEAEs in 17.6% (12/68), no dose-limiting toxicities and minimal hematologic toxicity. Preliminary EIK1005 data (Phase 1/2 trial EIK1005-002, NCT07262619, WRN helicase inhibitor in advanced solid tumors including MSI-H/dMMR) showed no dose-limiting toxicities, stable disease in 6 of 8 evaluable monotherapy participants (all MSI-H/dMMR) and a partial response in the single pembrolizumab-combination participant, with a half-life of about 9.4 days supporting weekly dosing.

Top-line results from the Phase 2a ASSIST-SSc trial (NCT02682511, PR Newswire, October 23, 2026, 16:05 ET) of oral ifetroban, a thromboxane prostanoid receptor antagonist, in systemic sclerosis (SSc). In the 12-month pilot trial, 31 subjects received ifetroban (22 with diffuse cutaneous SSc and 9 with SSc-associated pulmonary arterial hypertension) and 10 received placebo (9 dcSSc and 1 SSc-PAH); the trial's purpose was to evaluate safety. Ifetroban was generally well tolerated, with a safety profile consistent with prior experience: gastrointestinal adverse events were more frequent than with placebo and were mostly mild and resolved, bleeding-related adverse events showed a modest increase and were predominantly mild, and no serious adverse event during the 12-month treatment period was assessed by the medical monitor as related to study drug. The trial was not designed or powered to evaluate efficacy, and limited disease progression in both groups reduced the ability to detect a treatment difference, so no efficacy conclusions were drawn. Next steps are submission of the clinical study report to the FDA, correlative biomarker studies, and evaluation of cardiac imaging from patients continuing on the open-label extension, which together will inform further development of ifetroban in SSc.

Positive initial Phase 1b data for brezosiran (ALN-HTT02) in Huntington's disease (Business Wire, October 23, 2026): single ascending intrathecal doses across the first five cohorts showed dose-dependent reductions of mutant huntingtin protein (mHTT) in cerebrospinal fluid, with a mean reduction from baseline of 60-64% at month 3 in the highest dose group evaluated to date and a maximum individual reduction of 83%; data include individuals followed for up to 12 months, with an encouraging safety and tolerability profile and no dose-dependent increases in CSF inflammatory markers, CSF neurofilament light chain (NfL) or brain ventricular volume. Data were presented at the European Huntington's Disease Network (EHDN) Clinical Research Congress 2026. Alnylam plans to initiate a placebo-controlled pivotal study in 2027, pending regulatory alignment.
FDA approved a subcutaneous (SC) induction regimen for SKYRIZI (risankizumab-rzaa) for adults with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease (PR Newswire, October 23, 2026, 15:33 ET), based on the Phase 3 AFFIRM trial (NCT06063967). SC induction is 720 mg delivered by on-body injector (OBI) at weeks 0, 2, 4 and 8, followed by maintenance OBI dosing every eight weeks from week 12; intravenous induction (600 mg at weeks 0, 4 and 8) remains an option. At week 12 in the total population, SC SKYRIZI met both co-primary endpoints versus placebo: clinical remission (CDAI <150) 56% vs 30% (p<0.001) and endoscopic response 43% vs 15% (p<0.001); endoscopic remission was 26% vs 11% (p<0.001). In patients without prior advanced therapy failure, clinical remission was 74% vs 27% and endoscopic response 60% vs 15%; in patients with prior advanced therapy failure, clinical remission was 45% vs 31% and endoscopic response 33% vs 15%. Safety for SC induction was generally consistent with the known SKYRIZI profile in Crohn's disease, with no new safety risks identified. The FDA also approved updated tuberculosis warning language in the U.S. Prescribing Information across all SKYRIZI indications, allowing clinicians to use clinical judgment on whether TB testing is needed before treatment.

Final two-year results from the Phase 3 TELIGAN trial of telitacicept in adults with IgA nephropathy (IgAN), conducted in China by collaborator RemeGen and presented in an oral presentation (TH-OR111) at ASN Kidney Week 2026 (GlobeNewswire, October 22, 2026): TELIGAN met the Stage B primary endpoint of annualized eGFR slope through 104 weeks, -0.6 mL/min/1.73 m²/year (95% CI: -1.7 to 0.4) for telitacicept versus -5.7 mL/min/1.73 m²/year (95% CI: -7.0 to -4.5) for placebo, a between-group difference of 5.1 mL/min/1.73 m²/year (95% CI: 3.5 to 6.7; p<0.001). Telitacicept was associated with an 89% lower risk of confirmed ≥30% eGFR decline (HR 0.11) and an 81% lower risk of confirmed ≥40% eGFR decline (HR 0.19) relative to placebo; no patient in the telitacicept group experienced a prespecified composite kidney failure endpoint event, compared with five in the placebo group, including two who required dialysis. At Week 104, 24h-UPCR decreased 60.3% from baseline in the telitacicept group compared with a 0.9% increase in the placebo group (placebo-adjusted reduction of 60.7%); 44.0% of telitacicept-treated patients achieved 24h-UPCR <0.5 g/g versus 8.2% in the placebo group. Serum galactose-deficient IgA1 decreased 47.79% from baseline with telitacicept, compared with a 19.06% increase with placebo. Safety: treatment-emergent adverse events occurred in 95.0% of telitacicept-treated patients and 89.3% of placebo-treated patients; serious adverse events occurred in 8.2% versus 18.2%; overall infections were reported in 67.3% of each group, and serious infections in 1.9% versus 4.4%; injection-site reactions were more frequent with telitacicept (56.0% versus 18.9%), with most mild to moderate in severity. TELIGAN enrolled 318 adults randomized 1:1 to telitacicept 240 mg or placebo, administered subcutaneously once weekly through Week 39, followed by every-other-week dosing from Week 40 through Week 104. Telitacicept received conditional approval in China in June 2026 for the reduction of proteinuria in adults with primary IgAN at risk of disease progression; Vor Bio holds exclusive rights outside Greater China.

Positive topline results from the Phase 3 INTREPID study (NCT06468228) of lutikizumab, an investigational dual-variable-domain IL-1α/1β antagonist, in adults and adolescents with moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) (PR Newswire, October 22, 2026, 09:00 ET): 1,400 patients randomized 1:1 to lutikizumab SC or placebo. The study met its primary endpoint of HiSCR75 at Week 16 (31.4% vs 23.4% placebo; p≤0.001) and 8 ranked secondary endpoints, including NRS3 HS-related skin pain response at Week 8 (26.2% vs 15.0%; p<0.0001), NRS30 at Week 8 (36.0% vs 22.8%; p<0.0001), and fewer HS flares over the first 16 weeks (18.4% vs 28.1% of patients; p<0.0001). Lutikizumab was generally well tolerated with no new safety concerns: any AE 53.4% vs 53.7%, serious AE 3.0% vs 2.9%, AEs leading to discontinuation 1.7% vs 1.9%; no deaths in the lutikizumab group (one death on placebo). Additional data including the 36-week blinded extension are expected in 2027 and will support regulatory submissions for lutikizumab in HS in the second half of 2027.
FDA lifted the clinical hold on the IND for ARD-101 for hyperphagia in Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS): clinical development may resume. Aardvark voluntarily paused dosing in the Phase 3 HERO trial and its open-label extension (OLE) on February 27, 2026 after reversible ECG changes in a separate healthy-volunteer study; FDA placed the hold in May 2026. The company then ran a thorough ECG study in additional healthy volunteers (no cardiac events at 200 mg and 400 mg twice daily) and an in vitro cardiac sodium channel (NaV1.5) study in alignment with FDA. Aardvark plans to resume development in PWS after further FDA alignment on the Phase 3 design, and will host a webcast on Friday, October 23, 2026 at 8:00 a.m. ET to review the available dataset from the terminated HERO and OLE trials.

FDA accepted the resubmission of the New Drug Application (NDA) for oxylanthanum carbonate (OLC), the Company's investigational oral phosphate binder for the treatment of hyperphosphatemia in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) on dialysis (GlobeNewswire, October 21, 2026). The NDA was resubmitted following a Complete Response Letter (CRL) received in June 2026. The FDA has deemed the OLC resubmission a Class II with a six-month review period from the resubmission date, and set a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) target action date of March 25, 2027. This resubmission includes Chemistry, Manufacturing, and Controls (CMC) data from a new drug product (DP) manufacturing vendor; the new vendor's facility was last inspected by the FDA in March 2024 and received 'No Action Indicated' status. The Company does not know whether the FDA will decide to conduct a pre-approval inspection of the new third-party DP vendor; additionally, if the original third-party manufacturing vendor is inspected in the near term and finds that its facility complies with current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP), the Company plans to seek FDA alignment on a shorter approval timeline.

European Commission (EC) approved Cosentyx (secukinumab) for the treatment of adults with polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) who have had an inadequate response to glucocorticoids or who experience relapse during glucocorticoid taper (GlobeNewswire, October 21, 2026, 11:00 ET). Cosentyx becomes the first and only interleukin-17A (IL-17A) inhibitor approved in Europe for adults with PMR. The approval is based on the Phase III REPLENISH trial, which showed Cosentyx doubled sustained remission rates vs placebo at Week 52; safety results were consistent with the established Cosentyx profile. The recommended dose for adults with PMR is 150 mg by subcutaneous injection with initial dosing at Weeks 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4, followed by monthly maintenance dosing, in combination with a tapering course of glucocorticoids; based on clinical response the maintenance dose can be increased to 300 mg. Additional regulatory reviews of Cosentyx in PMR are ongoing globally, including in the US and Japan.

Full one-year data set from KYSA-8, the registrational Phase 2 trial of miv-cel (mivocabtagene autoleucel, KYV-101) in stiff person syndrome (SPS), presented at MS Toronto 2026 (GlobeNewswire, October 21, 2026, 07:15 ET). The primary endpoint and all key secondary endpoints were previously reported achieved at AAN 2026; at one year (n=26), median improvement in the timed 25-foot walk (T25FW) was 49% (vs 46% at the Week 16 primary endpoint measurement; p<0.0001), with 77% (20/26) achieving a clinically meaningful >=20% T25FW improvement (81%, 21/26, at Week 16). Of the 12 patients requiring a walking aid before treatment, 67% (8/12) no longer required assistance; 92% (24/26) remained free of chronic immunotherapies for SPS. All secondary endpoints continued to be met, with significant mean improvements in Modified Rankin Scale (-1.0, p=.0003), Hauser Ambulation Index (-1.7, p<0.0001), Distribution-of-Stiffness (-1.6, p<0.0001) and Heightened Sensitivity Scale (-2.8, p<0.0001); median 6-minute walk improvement deepened from 89 meters at Week 16 to 119 meters at one year. Safety was described as well tolerated.

FDA granted Orphan Drug Designation to onvansertib, an oral PLK1 inhibitor, for the treatment of chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) (GlobeNewswire, October 21, 2026, 16:05 ET). CMML is difficult to treat with limited options; 40-50% of patients with myeloproliferative CMML have RAS-pathway mutations linked to more aggressive disease. A Phase 1 investigator-initiated study of onvansertib in relapsed/refractory CMML reported preliminary results at the 2025 ASH Annual Meeting, including tolerability as monotherapy and preliminary efficacy in about 40% of myeloproliferative CMML patients. The designation covers a rare condition affecting fewer than 200,000 people in the U.S. and can provide clinical-trial tax credits, exemption from certain FDA user fees, and up to seven years of market exclusivity upon approval.
FDA approved the supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) for the oral pellet formulation of once-daily ORLADEYO (berotralstat) for prophylactic therapy in adults and adolescents aged 12 years and older (GlobeNewswire, October 21, 2026, 07:00 ET). The new 150 mg ORLADEYO pellet formulation provides an alternative administration option for adults and adolescents who may have difficulty swallowing, prefer not to take a capsule, or choose to remain on a pellet formulation beyond age 12; the sprinkle-like pellets can be poured directly into the mouth and swallowed immediately with water or milk, or sprinkled over a spoonful of soft, non-acidic food. ORLADEYO is the first and only targeted oral prophylactic therapy for patients with hereditary angioedema (HAE) aged 2 and above; the capsule formulation was approved in December 2020 for patients 12 years and older.
FDA granted accelerated approval of ULTOMIRIS (ravulizumab), Alexion/AstraZeneca Rare Disease's long-acting C5 complement inhibitor, to reduce proteinuria in adults with primary immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) at risk for disease progression (AstraZeneca press release, October 21, 2026) - the first and only C5 inhibitor approved for IgAN and the fifth ULTOMIRIS indication; the approval followed FDA Priority Review. The indication is approved under accelerated approval based on reduction of proteinuria; it has not been established whether ULTOMIRIS slows kidney function decline in IgAN, and continued approval may be contingent on the ongoing I CAN Phase III trial (NCT06291376). In the prespecified interim analysis of I CAN, ULTOMIRIS reduced 24-hour urine protein creatinine ratio (UPCR) from baseline by 46.6% (95% CI: 39.0%, 53.2%) at week 34 versus 5.6% (95% CI: -4.9%, 15.0%) on placebo, a placebo-adjusted treatment effect of 43.4% (95% CI: 33.5%, 51.8%; p<0.0001); the proteinuria reduction was observed as early as week 10 (36.7% vs 8.5% for placebo) and sustained through week 34, consistent across subgroups. The trial continues to week 106, where the primary endpoint of change from baseline in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) will support traditional approval; late-breaking I CAN results will be presented at the American Society of Nephrology Kidney Week on October 23, 2026. ULTOMIRIS is given intravenously every eight weeks after a loading dose. Safety was consistent with the known profile, with no new safety concerns; the most common adverse events on ULTOMIRIS were upper respiratory tract infection (11.3%), nasopharyngitis (9.2%) and infusion-related reactions (8.4%), versus upper respiratory tract infection (10.2%), nasopharyngitis (9.0%) and hypertension (6.6%) on placebo. IgAN affects more than 200,000 people in the US, and regulatory submissions based on the interim analysis are also under review in Japan and additional countries.

Positive 52-week efficacy results from ORCA-OL, a long-term open-label trial of cytisinicline 3 mg three times daily for cigarette smoking and e-cigarette (vaping) cessation, presented at CHEST 2026 (GlobeNewswire, October 21, 2026, 08:30 ET). ORCA-OL enrolled 479 adults (475 dosed; 84.6% cigarette smokers, 12.8% exclusively vaped, 2.5% both), all of whom had already made a counseling-supported quit attempt in a prior ORCA trial and were still smoking or vaping. Four-week sustained abstinence rates increased from 25.5% at Weeks 9-12 to 30.3% at Weeks 21-24 to 31.2% during Weeks 49-52 in the total population; among participants who had received placebo in their prior trial, abstinence was 26.3% at Weeks 9-12 and 39.4% at Weeks 49-52, and among those previously treated with cytisinicline it was 27.8% at Weeks 49-52. At the end of the year, 32.8% of participants who exclusively smoked and 24.6% of those who exclusively vaped had quit. Median cytisinicline exposure was 361 days and 69.7% (334/479) completed the 52-week study.

New Phase 2b long-term extension data for duvakitug (anti-TL1A monoclonal antibody, co-developed with Sanofi) in moderately-to-severely active ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD), presented at UEG Week 2026 (GlobeNewswire, October 20, 2026, 08:00 ET). RELIEVE UCCD LTE (NCT05668013): patients who responded to the 14-week induction study (n=130; 72 UC, 58 CD) were re-randomized to duvakitug 450 mg or 900 mg subcutaneously every four weeks for 44 weeks of maintenance. UC at Week 44 - 450 mg (n=34): clinical remission (modified Mayo Score) 47%, clinical response 82%, endoscopic improvement 59%; 900 mg (n=38): clinical remission 58%, clinical response 87%, endoscopic improvement 63%. CD at Week 44 - 450 mg (n=27): endoscopic response (50% or greater decrease in SES-CD) 41%, clinical response (CDAI) 81%, clinical remission 81%; 900 mg (n=31): endoscopic response 55%, clinical response 87%, clinical remission 84%. Efficacy was numerically higher at 900 mg in both diseases, consistent with a dose response. Duvakitug was generally well tolerated with a safety profile consistent with the induction phase and no new safety concerns; discontinuations due to adverse events were UC 4% (450 mg) and 2% (900 mg), and CD 6% in each arm. Biomarker analyses from the RELIEVE UCCD induction study (NCT05499130) were also presented. Phase 3 programs SUNSCAPE-1/-2 (UC) and STARSCAPE-1/-2 (CD) are ongoing.

FDA approved HIBSAGO (bepirovirsen), a first-in-class antisense oligonucleotide (ASO), for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B (CHB) virus infection in combination with nucleos(t)ide analogue reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NrtI) therapy in adult patients without cirrhosis, receiving NrtI therapy for at least 6 months, who have suppressed HBV DNA, and with HBsAg levels <=3000 IU/ml as determined by an FDA-authorised test (GSK press release, October 20, 2026) - the first FDA-approved ASO for CHB, granted under FDA Priority Review and Breakthrough Therapy Designation, ahead of the October 26, 2026 PDUFA date. The approval was supported by the pooled B-Well 1 and B-Well 2 Phase 3 trials (1,834 patients combined): functional cure (HBV DNA and HBsAg undetectable for at least 24 weeks after stopping all treatment) was achieved by 19% of bepirovirsen patients (233 of 1,220) versus 0 of 614 on placebo; in the key secondary subgroup with HBsAg <=1000 IU/ml the functional cure rate was 26% (200 of 768) versus 0 of 393 on placebo. Bepirovirsen also reduced HBsAg to <=100 IU/ml in 49% of participants (598 of 1,220) overall and 62% (476 of 768) in the <=1000 IU/ml subgroup as of the week 72 visit. Treatment is a six-month once-weekly subcutaneous course with the option of self-administration after the first dose. The FDA also authorised Roche's Elecsys HBsAg II quant II RxDx assay as a companion diagnostic. The most frequently observed adverse events were injection site erythema, local pain and a temporary rise in a liver enzyme. Bepirovirsen was licensed from Ionis Pharmaceuticals; it is approved in Japan and under regulatory review in China and Europe, and GSK expects peak annual sales of more than GBP 2 billion.

Phase 2 SUNRISE-PD results for bezisterim (NE3107) in early Parkinson's disease (NCT06757010; randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, n=57 patients naive to carbidopa/levodopa, 20 mg twice daily vs placebo for 12 weeks), presented at the 151st Annual Meeting of the American Neurological Association (GlobeNewswire, October 20, 2026, 08:00 ET). Primary pharmacodynamic endpoint was the effect on hematologic inflammatory biomarker indices (MLR, SIRI, NLR, SII, PLR, AISI); clinical endpoints were secondary/exploratory and prespecified in the SAP. In the prespecified subgroup with higher baseline systemic inflammation (above-median platelet counts above 230 x 10^9/L, approximately half the trial population), bezisterim improved MDS-UPDRS Part I (non-motor) scores -1.62 vs +1.86 for placebo (Cohen's d = -1.33; p=0.0124), Part III (motor) scores -1.32 vs +1.26 (Cohen's d = -0.92; p=0.0265), and Total Scores -1.23 vs +1.21 (Cohen's d = -1.45; p=0.0006). In the overall modified intent-to-treat population, the Composite Benefit Score favored bezisterim (Cohen's d = -1.61; p=0.0004); patients receiving bezisterim were 6.25-fold more likely to achieve clinically meaningful improvement on the CBS than placebo (25% vs 4%), and the risk of clinically meaningful worsening was approximately 70% lower with bezisterim (14% vs 46%; relative risk 0.30). Well tolerated: TEAEs 39.3% on bezisterim vs 51.7% on placebo, no severe or serious adverse events in either group, and only one potentially treatment-related adverse event in each treatment arm.

FDA approved a new manufacturing process (Process 2.0) for SIMLANDI (adalimumab-ryvk), Alvotech's biosimilar to Humira (GlobeNewswire, October 20, 2026, 04:30 ET; dateline Reykjavik, Iceland and London, UK). The approval allows Alvotech to introduce Process 2.0 for manufacture of adalimumab drug substance in its DSM2 manufacturing suite in Reykjavik, Iceland. The new process more than doubles drug substance output per batch without changing the upstream manufacturing scale, with demonstrated comparability to the previously approved process while maintaining product quality, safety and efficacy. Alvotech said producing the same quantity in fewer batches frees capacity in Reykjavik for other products in its biosimilars portfolio.

Positive Phase 1 multiple ascending dose (MAD) topline results for ZP9830, a novel Kv1.3 ion channel blocker (first-in-human, single-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 1 trial, NCT06682975): the MAD part evaluated safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics in 32 healthy male and female participants over a 4-week treatment duration with safety follow-up until day 41. Multiple doses were safe and well tolerated, with no serious or severe adverse events and no dose-limiting safety findings; all treatment-emergent adverse events in participants receiving ZP9830 were non-serious and mild in severity, and no clinically relevant safety findings were observed in vital signs, 12-lead ECG recordings, physical examinations or safety laboratory parameters. Pharmacokinetic parameters support continued development in trials of longer duration. A Phase 1b trial in people with plaque psoriasis has recently been initiated, and a Phase 2 trial in an additional autoimmune disease is planned for initiation in H1 2027. Announced October 19, 2026 (GlobeNewswire, 01:00 ET).
Positive Phase 2 final efficacy results from the investigator-sponsored TASKIN trial (NCT05201352) of vilamakitug (Natrunix, XB2001; anti-IL-1alpha monoclonal antibody) plus trifluridine/tipiracil with or without bevacizumab in refractory metastatic colorectal cancer (GlobeNewswire, October 19, 2026): the study met its pre-specified primary efficacy success criterion, with 61.3% of evaluable patients in the vilamakitug arm alive at 12 months (49/80) versus 55.7% in the control arm (44/79), above the protocol threshold of 42 survivors. Median PFS was 5.9 vs 5.6 months (12-month PFS rate 25.0% vs 21.0%, log-rank p=0.42). In a prospective exploratory subgroup of right-sided primary tumors (n=37), vilamakitug reduced the risk of death by 62% versus control (HR 0.38, 95% CI 0.14-0.99, log-rank p=0.038).
FDA granted clearance under the IND application to proceed with the SUMMIT clinical trial of treprostinil SMI (soft mist inhaler) in pulmonary hypertension associated with COPD (PH-COPD) (Business Wire, October 19, 2026).

Negative topline results from LUCIA (NCT06683742), the second pivotal Phase 3 trial of DURAVYU (vorolanib intravitreal insert) in wet age-related macular degeneration (wet AMD) (GlobeNewswire, October 19, 2026, 07:00 ET): randomized, double-masked trial enrolling 475 patients, 1:1 DURAVYU 2.7 mg every 24 weeks versus on-label aflibercept 2 mg every 8 weeks (supplemental aflibercept as needed per pre-specified criteria, after 3 monthly loading doses). DURAVYU did not achieve the primary endpoint of statistical non-inferiority in the average change from baseline in best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) at blended Weeks 52 and 56 versus on-label aflibercept, despite demonstrating visual improvement; the release reported no numeric BCVA change values for either arm. Key secondary endpoints were met, including a superior 38% reduction in treatment burden (nominal p-value <0.0001), with 52% of eyes supplement-free and 71% receiving zero or one supplement up to Week 56, as well as strong anatomic control at Week 56, consistent with the first Phase 3 LUGANO trial (which also missed non-inferiority in August 2026). Safety: continued favorable safety profile for DURAVYU with redosing. EyePoint will complete additional analyses of the LUCIA and pooled Phase 3 datasets to assess next steps for DURAVYU in wet AMD.
Strategic prioritization following the LUCIA Phase 3 wet AMD topline miss (GlobeNewswire, October 19, 2026, 07:15 ET): EyePoint will conclude the pivotal Phase 3 wet AMD trials early, without full completion of the second year of each trial, and reduce its workforce by approximately 53% (substantial majority in Q4 2026, completed H1 2027), to focus resources on DURAVYU in diabetic macular edema (DME). Estimated annualized savings approximately $30 million; estimated one-time separation charges approximately $9 million; cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments approximately $118 million as of September 30, 2026. The DME Phase 3 program (COMO, NCT07449936; CAPRI, NCT07449923; 551 patients total) is expected to read out topline data in Q4 2027.

Phase 2 ADDRESS-LC results in Long COVID (NCT06847191), presented at the American Neurological Association annual meeting (GlobeNewswire, October 19, 2026, 08:00 ET): randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled signal-finding trial, n=203, bezisterim 20 mg twice daily vs placebo for 12 weeks, 22 clinical outcome measures with no single endpoint designated as primary. The trial did not achieve statistical significance on any endpoint in the overall intent-to-treat population (trend toward improvement across most measures). In pre-specified subgroups with higher baseline symptom burden (about 78% of participants in at least one domain), results favored bezisterim: among the most fatigued half at baseline (PROMIS Fatigue T-score >=65), mean improvement in PROMIS Fatigue at Week 12 was 8.93 points with bezisterim vs 5.30 points with placebo (p=0.02), with statistically significant differences also on PGI-Severity Fatigue, PGI-Change Fatigue, PGI-Change Overall and CGI-Change Overall; in the high post-exertional malaise subgroup (DSQ-PEM >=67.5), statistically significant differences in objective global cognition, processing speed and identification/attention; in the greater objective cognitive impairment subgroup (Cogstate Composite Global z-score <=0.130), statistically significant differences in objective global cognition, verbal learning, verbal memory and processing speed. Safety comparable to placebo: treatment-emergent adverse events 41.6% bezisterim vs 55.9% placebo, drug-related TEAEs 18.8% vs 25.5%, no serious TEAEs with bezisterim vs one with placebo. Biomarker data pending. Company says findings inform design of a confirmatory Phase 3 study.

First topline from Phase 2/3 AHEAD-MERIT (NCT04534205) in 1L unresectable recurrent/metastatic HPV16+ HNSCC expressing PD-L1: BNT113 + pembrolizumab did NOT demonstrate a statistically significant improvement in progression-free survival vs pembrolizumab alone; PFS is one of two dual primary endpoints (with overall survival). IDMC recommended the trial continue as planned to evaluate OS; under the pre-specified design a statistically significant OS improvement would establish a positive trial outcome despite the PFS miss. BioNTech remains blinded. Announced October 13, 2026 (06:45 ET, GlobeNewswire).
Phase 1 GLP-131 results (NCT07223216) for BMF-650, an oral small-molecule GLP-1 receptor agonist, in overweight/obese healthy adults: mean Day 29 weight reduction 1.5% to 3.2% across outpatient MAD Cohorts 1-4 vs 0.1% for pooled placebo; a fifth confined cohort with one-week titration to 400 mg QD showed 6.1% mean reduction, which the company said should be read separately because confined placebo participants also lost similar weight on reduced food intake. Across the five MAD cohorts (n=40) all TEAEs were mild or moderate, with no severe or serious TEAEs and no TEAE-related discontinuations. Company said further development needs longer toxicology work and it is positioning the program for a strategic partnership, with primary focus remaining on icovamenib. Announced October 13, 2026 (16:08 ET, GlobeNewswire).
