United StatesAstraZeneca announced the failure of a major clinical trial for its experimental heart disease drug, which showed no additional benefits for patients already using a different type of medication. The drug, referred to as a 'silencer,' was tested on patients with ATTR-CM, a progressive condition, but failed to show improvement when combined with existing 'stabilizers.' Meanwhile, a U.S. appeals court upheld the FDA's decision that diabetes and obesity drugs from Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly are no longer in shortage, limiting the ability of compounders to legally produce generic versions of these medications.
