Among last week’s important news, three sets of clinical trial results attracted attention. First, there were positive trial results for Swiss pharma giant Roche’s Hemlibra in hemophilia prophylaxis. Then we heard of another success for Merck & Co’s Keytruda in lung cancer, and there was also good news for AbbVie with a Phase III study of Imbruvica in combination with Roche’s Gazyva.
