Hello everyone, I’m a pharmacist and I’d like to share some recent news from the pharmaceutical world in a way that’s easy to understand. Let’s start with Novo Nordisk. They’ve launched a new pill version of their popular weight loss drug, Wegovy. The news is good so far, with a lot more prescriptions being written than expected. In fact, the number of prescriptions has gone up a lot in just one week. This is great news because it means more people might be able to manage their weight with this new option. And don’t worry, the original injectable form of Wegovy is still doing well too. Novo Nordisk’s stock has also gone up recently, which shows that people are confident in this new development. Now, let’s talk about Terns Pharmaceuticals. They’ve made a change to their agreement with a Chinese company, Hansoh Pharmaceutical, about a leukemia drug they’re developing called TERN-701. Terns has paid a small fee to be able to work with other companies on this drug without having to ask Hansoh for permission first. This is important because it could help Terns find partners to help bring this drug to market faster. Some experts think this drug could be a big deal in the treatment of leukemia. Next up is Corcept Therapeutics. They’ve been testing a new drug called relacorilant for ovarian cancer. The results are promising, with people taking this drug along with chemotherapy living longer than those taking chemotherapy alone. This is really exciting news because it could mean a new treatment option for people with ovarian cancer. The FDA is expected to make a decision about this drug by July 11. Lastly, let’s talk about BioMérieux, a French company that helps make sure medicines are safe and effective. They’ve bought the rest of a company called Accellix, which helps speed up the making of cell therapies. This is important because it could help bring new and innovative treatments to patients faster. That’s all for now. I hope this helps you understand what’s been happening in the pharmaceutical world lately. Always remember to talk to your doctor or pharmacist about any concerns you have regarding your medications.
