Top Stories Tuesday, September 12, 2017 Onxeo’s Livatag has failed to beat the active control in a phase 3 hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) trial. The setback wiped about 50% off Onxeo’s share price as investors adjusted to the diminished expectations for the doxorubicin-loaded nanoparticle candidate. Tuesday, September 12, 2017 Alexion is slashing its workforce by around 20% and closing sites in a bid to save $250 million a year, with R&D bearing the brunt and accounting for around two-thirds of the cost cutting. Monday, September 11, 2017 When it comes to healthcare we know that consumers actively participate in social media to seek information and find support. More than 40% say that information from social media affects how they cope with a chronic condition, their approach to diet and exercise, the physician they select and even their decision to seek a second opinion1. Tuesday, September 12, 2017 Erytech is preparing to move eryaspase into a pivotal trial after full data from a phase 2b affirmed earlier top-line results. The red-blood-cell-encapsulated L-asparaginase improved overall survival and other outcomes in metastatic pancreatic cancer patients, emboldening Erytech to consider swinging for first-line use in phase 3.

Tuesday, September 12, 2017 Tiny Aldeyra Therapeutics says it has seen “statistically and clinically significant improvements” in a midstage trial for its experimental eye med ADX-102, although not all data points were positive. Tuesday, September 12, 2017 Following a sales fraud investigation that led to major executive changes, Alexion’s new management is rolling out its first corporate overhaul.
