A hypertension deal with Roche (SIX:ROG; OTCQX:RHHBY) will help Alnylam Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ:ALNY) execute on its growth strategy of moving into more prevalent diseases. On the latest BioCentury This Week podcast, BioCentury’s editors discuss what the deal does for both companies and why plans for a cardiovascular outcomes trial (CVOT) before the launch of zilebesiran are critical for maximizing the program’s commercial opportunity.
BioCentury’s editors also preview this week’s episode of The BioCentury Show, in which Washington Editor Steve Usdin speaks with Alkermes plc (NASDAQ:ALKS) Chairman and CEO Richard Pops about the politics and policy environment around drug pricing and the Inflation Reduction Act and assess the latest developments in industry litigation against the IRA and new FTC guidelines on antitrust rules.
