Merck's multiple sclerosis drug evobrutinib didn't meet a key
goal in late-stage trials.
The German pharmaceutical company's phase 3 clinical trials for
the drug did not achieve their primary target of reducing
annualized relapse rates in people with relapsing multiple
sclerosis, it said late Tuesday. The drugmaker was aiming to match
the rate of Aubagio, an oral drug for the disease owned by
Sanofi.
"While we are very disappointed with the results, we continue to
advance our strategy in healthcare with a focus on progressing our
marketed portfolio and internal pipeline, complemented by external
innovation, with the aim of bringing more medicines to patients,
faster," said Danny Bar-Zohar, head of research and development at
Merck.
