Featured Story

Intra-Cellular pulls off $150M funding as it preps schizophrenia drug filing

Intra-Cellular Therapies raised its target of $150 million from a new public offering that will help it prepare for an FDA filing for lead drug lumateperone in schizophrenia next year.

Top Stories

Cullinan bags $150M to build broad slate of cancer assets

Cullinan Oncology has raised $150 million to build a portfolio of cancer R&D programs. The idea is to manage the risks inherent in drug development by placing bets on eight to 10 early-stage assets and selling those that show promise in the clinic. 

Ablynx files for $150M IPO to build on phase 3 boost

Ablynx has moved quickly to capitalize on the boost to its prominence and prospects provided by recent phase 3 data. The Belgian biotech has joined the reopened path from Europe to Wall Street in pursuit of $150 million (€128 million) to support its commercialization and clinical trial activities.

[Sponsored] End-to-End Drug & Diagnostic Development Support For A New Immuno Oncology Agent

Learn how one company sought support at multiple junctures—from manufacturing to biomarker evaluation to market access—to enable a faster and more effective launch of their new programmed death receptor-1 (PD-1)-blocking antibody.

Celgene pens pact to join Bristol-Myers, Pfizer in R&D race

Celgene has secured an option on two preclinical assets in development at Nimbus Therapeutics. The deal gives Celgene a chance to move into the slipstreams of Bristol-Myers Squibb and Pfizer in the race to bring a TYK2 inhibitor to market.

Asian trial backs Takeda and Myovant’s relugolix in uterine fibroids

A body of evidence is building behind Takeda and Myovant’s hormonal therapy in uterine fibroids, with late-stage Japanese data reinforcing positive phase 2 results with the drug in the U.S.

Experimental Calithera compound cripples key lung cancer mutations

Scientists at New York University’s Perlmutter Cancer Center have discovered that two commonly mutated genes in lung cancer may make some tumor cells especially vulnerable to CB-839, an experimental drug from Calithera Biosciences. They believe their findings could lead to more precise patient targeting in the ongoing clinical trials—and not just in lung cancer.
