Look back at pharma news in the week to February 21, 2020
By Barbara Obstoj-Cardwell. Editor
Last week’s news featured quite a lot relating to the ongoing novel coronavirus (COVID-19) situation, including that Sanofi’s vaccine division joining the band of drugmakers linking with the USA’s BARDA in attempts to develop a vaccine against COVID-19. Elsewhere on the research front, Incyte reported a second positive study for its Jakafi (ruxolitinib) in dermatitis, but Teva Pharmaceutical Industries posted disappointing Phase II/III results for Austedo in Tourette’s syndrome. Regulatory news included Pfizer gaining European approval for its Vyndaqel in the rare condition ATTRR-CM, and BioMarin announced the US Food and Drug Administration had accepted its gene therapy ValRox for priority review.
