BerGen­Bio nar­rows R&D to fo­cus on NSCLC and Covid-19; Oral SERDs see an­oth­er set­back as G1 drops pro­gram

BerGen­Bio said it will pri­or­i­tize its pipeline to fo­cus on first-line non-small cell lung can­cer and Covid-19 with its lead drug be­m­cen­tinib. That means work in acute myeloid leukemia, MDS and ovar­i­an can­cer has been put on pause.

The com­pa­ny said the nar­rowed R&D work pro­vides the “op­ti­mal path to­wards trans­lat­ing BerGen­Bio’s strong sci­en­tif­ic foun­da­tion” and the shift comes a month af­ter the biotech named for­mer IQVIA VP of on­col­o­gy Cristi­na Oli­va as its CMO.
