Welcome to the Bowtied Biotech Podcast, where we dive into the pulse of the biotech industry, unpacking the stories shaping science, medicine, and markets. In today’s episode, we dissect the fallout from Neumora Therapeutics’ Phase 3 trial failure for its depression drug, navacaprant, which sent the company’s stock plummeting over 80%. We’ll explore the ripple effects of this "worst-case scenario" outcome, what it means for major depressive disorder treatments, and the trends reshaping drug development. Plus, we’ll connect the dots to the broader industry landscape, from Pfizer’s retreat in gene therapy to Roche’s $1 billion ADC deal in China. Stick around for insights you won’t want to miss!
