Listen "Ep. 61 - Vas Narasimhan: How New Data Fit Novartis’ Growth Plan"
Episode Synopsis
Differentiating on tolerability, raising the bar for efficacy and concentrating small molecule development on indications with minimal IRA exposure are all pieces of Novartis CEO Vasant Narasimhan’s strategy to break into the top pharmas by U.S. sales. Two data readouts this week — one for CML drug Scemblix at ASCO and one for inflammatory disease therapy remibrutinib at the EAACI Congress — may tee up two launches to advance that goal through a strategy focused on prioritizing blockbuster-bound programs. Narasimhan discusses the readouts with Editor in Chief Simone Fishburn on a Special Edition of The BioCentury Show.View full story: https://www.biocentury.com/article/652562#biotech #biopharma #pharma #lifescience00:00 - Intro01:12 - CML Data09:34 - Endpoints, Approval Pathway13:00 – Remibrutinib24:07 – IRA, Radioligands
