Today's major developments are headlined by a trio of significant FDA approvals, including the first treatment for Hepatitis D (Hepcludex), a new therapy for agitation in Alzheimer's, and datopotamab deruxtecan for triple-negative breast cancer. In late-stage pipeline news, Eli Lilly set a new benchmark in obesity with Phase 3 data showing its drug retatrutide achieved approximately 25% weight loss. Additionally, positive Phase 3 results were reported for Merck/Kelun's ADC in breast cancer and BioMarin's Voxzogo for a form of dwarfism, reinforcing strong momentum in oncology and rare diseases.
