Plus Elevar's complete response letter for rivoceranib and camrelizumab in first-line liver cancer over a manufacturing inspection, Summit's ivonescimab survival update ahead of its November decision, Sun Pharma's $11.75 billion Organon approval, Scribe Therapeutics' gene editing IPO, Ipsen's Bylvay failure in biliary atresia, and the FDA peptide panel that voted yes on thin evidence.
