Merck announced that its experimental drug Winrevair will move into a pivotal Phase 3 trial for a rare form of heart failure, focusing on the lowest dose tested in Phase 2. The Phase 2 data showed a "pretty profound" efficacy signal at that dose, prompting the company to prioritize safety and efficacy. The upcoming trial will evaluate clinical outcomes in a globally enrolled patient cohort. If successful, Winrevair could become Merck's first approved therapy for this niche cardiovascular indication.
Nektar Therapeutics presented Phase 2b data at the 2026 American Academy of Dermatology meeting showing statistically significant EASI improvements in 393 atopic dermatitis patients and a 28.2% mean SALT reduction in alopecia areata. The results position rezpegaldesleukin as the first IL‑2‑based...
