September 29 edition: uniQure's four-year Huntington's readout is mixed, while its filing rests on earlier data. AstraZeneca agrees to invest $2 billion in Summit alongside a cancer-combination program, without acquiring Summit's drug rights. In the roundup: Veracyte's retrospective Decipher analysis in prostate cancer; FDA approval of Teva's Xgeva biosimilar; and Novo's license to Hengrui's early oral GLP-1/GIP program. Invivyd reports tolerability, not protection, results for VYD2311, and we examine the September 29 implementation of Section 232 drug tariffs.Alex Mercer and Maya Patel host.
