Eli Lilly (NYSE: LLY) has announced negative top-line results from the Phase III SEQUOIA trial, evaluating pegilodecakin plus Folfox (folinic acid, 5-FU, oxaliplatin) as a therapy for certain people with pancreatic cancer.

The study did not meet its primary endpoint of overall survival (OS). Shares in the company are down over 1% after morning trading in New York.
