Merck's Winrevair, added to background therapy, helped severe lung hypertension patients stay alive and avoid invasive care longer. The ZENITH trial's interim data showed Winrevair outperformed placebo, potentially expanding its use and peak annual earnings to $5 billion. Winrevair treats pulmonary arterial hypertension, improving walking speed and delaying complications, with the ZENITH study focusing on severe cases.

Trump's health nominees, including CDC's Dave Weldon and FDA's Marty Makary, could bring significant changes. Merck's Winrevair showed positive results in a Phase 3 trial, while Cassava's sumifilam failed in Alzheimer's treatment. FDA approved BridgeBio's Attruby for ATTR-CM, priced lower than Pfizer's drugs. Singulair linked to mental health issues. Sarclisa trials highlighted racial disparities in clinical trial composition.

Merck's Winrevair reduces death risk in pulmonary arterial hypertension patients, while Biohaven's spinal muscular atrophy treatment and Cassava Sciences' Alzheimer's drug face setbacks. Obesity drug shortages persist, with Wegovy prescriptions drawing FDA scrutiny.

Merck announced positive Phase 3 ZENITH study results for WINREVAIR in high-risk PAH patients, meeting primary endpoint of time to first morbidity or mortality event. WINREVAIR showed significant reduction in risk compared to placebo and is currently approved in the U.S. and 36 countries, with recent submission for approval in Japan.

Merck announced significant progress in its Phase 3 ZENITH study for WINREVAIR, showing a statistically significant reduction in the risk of morbidity or mortality events in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) patients. The study's positive results led to an early stop, allowing all participants to receive WINREVAIR. The treatment, already approved in the U.S. and 36 other countries, was recently submitted for approval in Japan. Merck's financial health and market position are strong, with a market capitalization of $250.89 billion and a robust gross profit margin of 76.59%.

Merck's Phase 3 ZENITH study met primary endpoint for WINREVAIR in PAH patients, showing significant reduction in morbidity/mortality events. Study stopped early; participants offered WINREVAIR. Second positive phase 3 trial supports WINREVAIR as an activin signaling inhibitor targeting PAH's underlying cause.

ZENITH study demonstrates overwhelming efficacy of WINREVAIR, an activin signaling inhibitor, in reducing risk of death, lung transplantation, or PAH hospitalizations in advanced PAH patients, prompting early conclusion and offering all participants WINREVAIR.

Merck's Phase 3 ZENITH trial of WINREVAIR met primary endpoint, showing significant reduction in PAH patients' morbidity/mortality risk. Trial stopped early due to efficacy, offering WINREVAIR in SOTERIA extension. Already approved in U.S. and 36 countries.
