Novartis is closing MorphoSys sites in Munich and Boston, resulting in approximately 330 layoffs, as part of its integration strategy following the €2.7 billion acquisition earlier this year. The decision aligns with a focus on prioritizing R&D programs, particularly the delayed approval pathway for the oncology candidate pelabresib. This trend of post-acquisition job cuts has been observed across several major pharma companies in recent years.
Roche has received EU approval for a prefilled syringe (PFS) of its ophthalmology drug Vabysmo, designed to treat neovascular age-related macular degeneration, diabetic macular edema, and macular edema following retinal vein occlusion. This PFS offers a convenient administration method for over 9 million affected individuals in the EU and is the first of its kind containing a bispecific antibody for these conditions. Following strong sales growth, the approval is expected to further enhance Roche's revenue amid increasing competition in the ophthalmology market.
AbbVie's schizophrenia drug emraclidine failed two mid-phase trials, performing no better than placebo, resulting in a $40 billion market cap loss for the company. This setback follows the recent approval of Bristol Myers Squibb's Cobenfy, the first new schizophrenia drug in decades, which boosted BMS's share price by 12%. The failure raises concerns for other companies developing similar drugs in the same class.
Gilead Sciences has appointed Dietmar Berger, M.D., Ph.D., as its new chief medical officer, recruiting him from Sanofi to replace Merdad Parsey. Berger, a cancer specialist with extensive experience at Genentech and Sanofi, will oversee Gilead's oncology pipeline, which is crucial for the company's growth strategy. He is set to start on January 2, 2024, as Gilead aims to enhance its oncology business amid significant clinical developments.
ICER's annual report criticizes major pharmaceutical companies, including Gilead, J&J, and Novartis, for "unsupported" price increases on ten drugs, leading to an additional $815 million in U.S. payer costs last year. Gilead's Biktarvy topped the list with a 5.9% hike, costing $359 million. Companies have pushed back, claiming ICER's methodology overlooks crucial clinical evidence and could hinder the development of new treatments.
Gilead Sciences has received several price target increases from analysts, with Oppenheimer and JPMorgan raising their targets to $105, while BMO Capital Markets set theirs at $102. Despite a "Moderate Buy" rating, top analysts favor five other stocks over Gilead. Insider trading activity shows significant sales, with insiders offloading over 63,000 shares in the past ninety days.

Key drivers include advances in cancer research, rising cancer prevalence, and increasing demand for personalized medicine, while challenges include high drug costs and stringent regulations. The market is segmented into cytotoxic, targeted, and hormonal drugs, with targeted therapies expected to dominate due to their effectiveness and reduced toxicity.
Corporate borrowers are seizing the opportunity in the US bond market, raising over $50 billion this week, driven by favorable conditions following Donald Trump's election victory. With corporate borrowing costs at their lowest in decades, companies are accelerating bond issuance, particularly in the financial sector. The surge in stock prices has also led to increased activity in equity capital markets, with private equity firms raising about $6 billion through follow-on sales since the election.
The global healthcare services market is projected to grow from $8,348.44 billion in 2023 to $8,963.64 billion in 2024, driven by advancements in medical technology, an aging population, and health insurance expansion. By 2028, it is expected to reach $10,908.99 billion, with key trends including telemedicine integration and patient-centered care. Shared medical appointments are gaining traction as a cost-effective model for managing chronic conditions, enhancing patient outcomes through collaborative care.
