Has trial result burst BMS' Cobenfy bubble?

1 day ago | pharmaphorum.com | Phil Taylor

Sky-high sales prospects for Bristol Myers Squibb's new schizophrenia treatment Cobenfy may have to be scaled down after a trial designed to expand the label of the recently approved drug failed. Cobenfy (xanomeline tartrate and trospium chloride) was approved last year as a monotherapy for people with schizophrenia, in itself a large potential market, but the new study was hoping to support use as an add-on to standard atypical antipsychotic medications.

Data readout puts J&J's bladder cancer drug back on track

2 days ago | pharmaphorum.com | Phil Taylor

Johnson & Johnson's confidence in its bladder cancer therapy TAR-200 – dented by a negative phase 3 readout last year – seems to be justified. New data from the SunRISe-1 study of TAR-200 in patients with high-risk, non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (HR-NMIBC) that has not responded to standard BCG treatment build the case for the drug as it heads towards an FDA decision on a marketing application in NMIBC later this year.
