Roche’s investigational amylin analog, petrelintide, achieved a statistically significant 10.7% mean body weight reduction in a Phase II trial, offering a well-tolerated alternative to current obesity treatments.
In the Phase 3 AFFIRM study, SKYRIZI (risankizumab) achieved superiority in co-primary endpoints of clinical remission and endoscopic response at week 12 for subcutaneous induction in patients with Crohn’s disease.
Eli Lilly and Company has announced breakthrough results from ACHIEVE-3, a head-to-head clinical trial that establishes orforglipron as a superior oral GLP-1 receptor agonist for type 2 diabetes management. The investigational medication outperformed oral semaglutide across all primary and key secondary endpoints, delivering clinically meaningful improvements in blood sugar control and weight loss. With FDA obesity approval expected in Q2 2026 and regulatory submissions already filed in over 40 countries, orforglipron represents a significant advancement in cardiometabolic treatment options.
Johnson & Johnson announces groundbreaking long-term clinical data revealing that TREMFYA (guselkumab) maintains sustained clinical, endoscopic, and histologic remission in adults with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis through 3 years of treatment. The QUASAR long-term extension study demonstrates 80.8% clinical remission and 78.6% mucosal healing rates, setting new standards for inflammatory bowel disease management.
Novartis announced positive topline results from its pivotal Phase III RemIND trial of oral remibrutinib in chronic inducible urticaria (CIndU), demonstrating the potential to become [Read More…]
Pfizer announced positive progression-free survival results from BREAKWATER trial Cohort 3, showing BRAFTOVI combined with cetuximab and FOLFIRI achieves statistically significant and clinically meaningful progression-free survival improvement compared to chemotherapy alone in previously untreated BRAF V600E-mutant metastatic colorectal cancer patients.
Eli Lilly’s Retevmo (selpercatinib) has shown promising results as an adjuvant therapy for early-stage lung cancer. The Phase 3 LIBRETTO-432 trial revealed that Retevmo adjuvant therapy significantly reduced the risk of disease recurrence or death in patients with RET fusion-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), marking a breakthrough for this rare molecular subtype affecting 1-2% of lung cancer cases.
In a landmark announcement, Roche revealed that Gazyva (obinutuzumab) met its primary endpoint in the phase III MAJESTY trial for primary membranous nephropathy treatment. The trial data demonstrates superior clinical outcomes compared to tacrolimus, positioning Gazyva as a transformative therapy for patients with this chronic autoimmune kidney condition. With nearly 88,000 affected patients in the EU and over 96,000 in the US, primary membranous nephropathy represents a significant unmet medical need. Gazyva phase III results show the potential to become the first FDA and EMA-approved therapy specifically for this indication. The positive MAJESTY trial outcomes highlight Gazyva’s mechanism deep tissue B cell depletion via anti-CD20 targeting as an effective approach to halting disease progression and preserving kidney function in primary membranous nephropathy patients.
Groundbreaking data from the KALOS and LOGOS trials reveal that Breztri (BGF) triple-therapy significantly outperforms standard dual-combination inhalers for uncontrolled asthma. Published in The Lancet Respiratory Medicine, the study confirms a 76mL improvement in lung function and a meaningful reduction in severe exacerbations, signaling a potential shift in the global standard of care.
Final data from the Phase III ALIGN study reveals that Vanrafia® (atrasentan) effectively slows eGFR decline in IgAN patients, even when combined with SGLT2 inhibitors. Novartis moves toward traditional regulatory approval in 2026.
