Dupixent wins FDA OK for asthma; Seres poaches new CMO from AstraZeneca
→ Sanofi and Regeneron won FDA approval to market Dupixent for asthma. “Dupixent is now approved in the U.S. for two important groups of uncontrolled asthma patients – those who are moderate-to-severe with an eosinophilic phenotype or those with oral corticosteroid-dependent asthma,” said George Yancopoulos, president and CSO of Regeneron.
→ AstraZeneca vet Kevin Horgan is jumping over to Cambridge, MA-based Seres as its new CMO. “Kevin is an accomplished drug developer with extensive experience successfully leading numerous mid- and late-stage clinical programs to approval.
