Dear Reader :

🪔Wishing you and your family a very Happy and Prosperous Diwali!🪔

This month’s newsletter, co-developed by the IPA and Citeline, talks about important R&D advances in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and also Sandoz’s aspirations in the antibody-drug-conjugate (ADC) segment.

Boehringer Ingelheim’s nerandomilast has met its primary endpoint in a pivotal Phase III study, the first such hit in IPF in a decade, while we also outline why Sandoz believes it has what it takes for a splash in ADCs.

There’s also a piece on deal-making trends as we head towards the close of the year.
