Mafuta hi re my comment earlier I was wrong about breast cancer but cervical/ovarian possibly right it was Merck and GSK in September
Merck said it would end several remaining bintrafusp trials
including on lung cancer, breast cancer and bladder cancer. One
trial testing the drug against Cervical cancer would continue,
it added.
Family-controlled Merck KGaA and Merck & Co Inc, known as
MSD outside North America, share historic roots but have been
under separate ownership since World War One.
And this 18th October
Berenberg also saw stasis on returns from GSK's investments in research and development.
The analysts estimated that the company would generate a return from R&D investment of 6%, which was below its 8% cost of capital and in line with the previous two historical cohorts.
"Time is running out for management to deliver positive pipeline progress. Without Consumer Healthcare from mid-2022, "New GSK" will be increasingly exposed to its pharma R&D fortunes," they added.
The first extract re ww1 makes me twitch a bit. Given some research shared here some months ago re spanish flu and vaccines to tommies.
The second part needs an individual as you pointed out to expose r and d fortunes.
I'm expecting news here soon.
