The lead cancer drug candidate of Foghorn Therapeutics is now under a partial clinical hold following a patient death. According to the biotech, the patient may have experienced a side effect that is a known complication of leukemia drugs.
Closing cancer health equity gaps require medical breakthroughs made possible by new funding approaches.
Eli Lilly is building its cancer drug pipeline via a research alliance with Foghorn Therapeutic, a biotech whose technology discovers drugs addressing targets in a cellular system that regulate the way genes are turned on and off. In paying its new partner $380 million up front, Lilly is also placing yet another bet on targeted protein degradation drugs.
