AI revolutionizes clinical trials by enhancing data collection, patient recruitment, and analysis, reducing time and costs. It enables personalized medicine, improves efficiency, and accelerates drug development. Despite challenges like data quality and ethical concerns, AI's potential in clinical trials is transformative, promising faster, more accurate outcomes.

A 10-year follow-up of the CheckMate 067 trial showed that 50% of metastatic melanoma patients treated with nivolumab and ipilimumab experienced cancer-free survival of 10 years or longer, with no new safety signals identified.

Isatuximab-irfc (Sarclisa) in combination with bortezomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone (VRd) received FDA approval for newly diagnosed multiple myeloma patients ineligible for autologous stem cell transplantation. The approval is based on the phase 3 IMROZ trial, which showed a 40% reduction in disease progression risk and superior progression-free survival compared to VRd alone.

Amgen's recent launches, like Lumakras, have underperformed, but the $28B Horizon acquisition could boost Tepezza sales. MariTide, in phase 2 for weight loss, shows promise. Amgen's pipeline includes over 30 phase 3 programs, aiming for label expansions and biosimilars. Despite recent slow organic growth, Tezspire's success and upcoming approvals suggest future growth. Amgen offers a 2.68% forward yield, making it a reliable dividend stock.

The global Biotechnology Market is projected to reach USD 6.24 trillion by 2032, driven by R&D investments, healthcare demand, and advancements in pharmaceuticals, agriculture, and environmental management.

Higher fucosylation and sialylation of serum proteins linked to worse outcomes in advanced RCC with nivolumab plus cabozantinib and sunitinib, according to CheckMate-9ER study. Serum glycoproteins involved in complement cascade and lipid metabolism may predict response to nivolumab plus cabozantinib vs sunitinib. Early exploratory work suggests glycosylation could be a focus for further biomarker development in RCC.
