Merck Hosts Investor Event Highlighting CV Portfolio and Pipeline
Here is a brief preview of this blast: Yesterday, Merck hosted an investor event (view presentation replay; view slides; view fact sheet) providing an overview of the company’s CV portfolio and pipeline. During the event, Merck highlighted eight potential new approvals across its CV pipeline, including its ongoing late-stage clinical programs in ASCVD, HF, PAH, thrombosis, and ESRD. In particular, Merck discussed its oral PCSK9i (MK-0616), currently in Ph2 development for hypercholesterolemia, as well as vericiguat (Verquvo) for symptomatic chronic HF. Below, FENIX provides highlights and insight from the call, including thoughts on Merck’s seemingly renewed focus on its CV business.
