Sanofi scraps a PhII IL4/IL13 de­vel­op­ment pro­gram for lung scar­ring dis­ease

The French phar­ma out­fit not­ed in their Q3 re­lease this morn­ing that they are scrap­ping a mid-stage pro­gram for the IL4/13 drug SAR156597 in id­io­path­ic pul­monary fi­bro­sis, a lung scar­ring dis­ease. There was no word on the rea­son why.
