Incyte (Nasdaq:INCY) today announced final 24-week data from the Phase 3 TRuE-AD4 study evaluating the efficacy and safety of Opzelura® (ruxolitinib) cream in adults with moderate atopic dermatitis (AD) who had an inadequate response, intolerance or contraindication to topical corticosteroids (TCSs) and topical calcineurin inhibitors (TCIs). These data were presented (Abstract ID: P0851) today at the 2026 European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology (EADV) Symposium, being held May 7–9, 2026, in Athens, Greece. As previously reported, the TRuE-AD4 study met both of its co-primary endpoints at Week 8, with a statistically significantly higher proportion of patients on Opzelura versus vehicle cream achieving EASI75 (≥75% improvement in Eczema Area and Severity Index score from baseline) and, separately, IGA-TS (Investigator's Global Assessment Treatment Success, defined as an IGA score of 0 [clear] or 1 [almost clear] with at least a two-point improvement from baseline).1 Patients who
Rapid Medical™’s TIGERTRIEVER™ 13 Demonstrates Promising 90-Day Outcomes in DISTALS Trial, Reinforcing Pivotal Safety and Efficacy Findings7.5.2026 15:03:00 EEST | Press release
Rapid Medical™, a leading developer of advanced stroke treatment devices, today announced full results from the DISTALS randomized clinical trial, presented at the 11th European Stroke Organisation Conference (ESOC) in Maastricht, Netherlands, showing that TIGERTRIEVER™ 13 can safely restore blood flow to the brain and may improve clinical outcomes in patients with distal and medium vessel occlusion (DMVO) stroke. These findings build on earlier results showing a threefold improvement in restoring blood flow compared with medical management alone (p<0.0001), with no cases of serious brain bleeding observed in the treatment group. “These results show we can now safely restore blood flow and suggest this will make a meaningful difference for the right patients,” said Jeffrey L. Saver, MD, UCLA, and Principal Investigator of DISTALS. “What’s important is that both the device and the trial were designed specifically for distal stroke. By using a device built for these small vessels and mea

Altasciences and Certara Announce Strategic Partnership to Accelerate Early Drug Development7.5.2026 15:00:00 EEST | Press release
Altasciences, a fully integrated drug development solution company, andCertara (Nasdaq: CERT), a global leader in model-informed drug development (MIDD), today announced a strategic partnership to accelerate early-phase development programs. Fewer than half of preclinical drug candidates successfully reach first-in-human trials. Failures are driven by toxicity, poor pharmacokinetics, lack of efficacy, and challenges translating results from animals to humans. Many of these risks can be mitigated through a fully integrated model-informed drug development approach. Building on Altasciences’ Acceleration Platform, the integration of Certara’s strategic drug development services and biosimulation technology enables sponsors to establish proof of mechanism earlier, design more efficient studies, and make informed go/no-go decisions with greater confidence. By embedding modeling insights and digital workflows directly into development execution, study designs are optimized, dosing strategies
