What's next for Akeso and Summit Therapeutics after their cancer immunotherapy outperformed Merck's Keytruda in a large Phase 3 clinical trial? Who's the iconoclastic outsider behind Summit's success? Why can't Moderna turn a profit? And should we be giving weight loss drugs to kids?
We talk about all that and more on this week's episode of "The Readout LOUD." STAT reporter Matt Herper joins us to break down all the angles of this week's tumultuous week in cancer immunotherapy, including his up-close look at Summit co-CEO Bob Duggan. We also discuss the latest news in the life sciences, including Moderna pruning its pipeline and its spending, plus results from a study that tested a GLP-1 drug in children.
