AstraZeneca Ends Phase III Lung Cancer Trial
x/astrazeneca
— Aug 17, 2026
AstraZeneca reports a setback as its Phase III trial of volrustomig plus chemotherapy in PD-L1 negative metastatic non-small cell lung cancer is halted after an independent data review found it unlikely to meet primary endpoints, while another late-stage study in cervical cancer and other indications continues. In a positive contrast, AZN and partners SAFFRON showed that Tagrisso combined with Orpathys significantly improved progression-free and overall survival, underscoring a mixed near-term outlook but ongoing strength in its immuno-oncology pipeline.

Novartis Phase 3 Pelacarsen Trial Misses Cardiovascular Endpoint
x/novartis
— Sep 5, 2026
Novartis reported that the Phase III Lp(a)HORIZON trial did not meet its primary endpoint, showing that lowering Lp(a) with pelacarsen reduced levels but did not significantly reduce cardiovascular events in approximately 8,000 patients on guideline-directed therapy; the company said full data will be presented at a future medical congress. Meanwhile, Royalty Pharma outlined its financial stance on the pelacarsen investment, noting the trial’s failure won’t derail its recovery of invested funds and that royalties on Spinraza remain a key part of its portfolio as it pursues its 2030 receipts target, with Ionis royalties potentially reverting after a defined cap. The developments reflect a broader scientific and market reevaluation of Lp(a)-targeted therapies and their commercial prospects.

Lancet study finds 45% of dementia cases could be prevented despite diagnosis delays
x/the-lancet
— Sep 6, 2026
A Lancet study suggests as many as 45% of dementia cases could be prevented or delayed through modifiable risk factors such as smoking, diet, exercise, hearing/vision care, and social engagement, reinforcing the idea that heart and brain health are tightly linked. Meanwhile, reports from the UK highlight long delays in dementia diagnosis and the strain on families, even as a Phase III trial explores biomarker-based prevention before symptoms appear, underscoring the need for scalable diagnostic infrastructure and timely support.
