    October 27, 2017 Snippet roundup: CETP kaput and Biogen buys into amyloid Edwin Elmhirst Welcome to your weekly roundup of EP Vantage’s snippets – short takes on smaller news items. This week, October 23 to 27, 2017, we had thoughts on the following: Amgen puts another CETP out of its misery; Stryker buys Vexim without waiting for US approval; How much is aducanumab worth? At least $8bn, Biogen reckons; Alcon delay puts dampener on Novartis; Soliris sitting pretty with complementary new indication; Smith & Nephew acquires, but divestments could follow; Global Blood drops IPF programme. These snippets were previously published daily via twitter. Amgen puts another CETP out of its misery October 26, 2017 If the once-promising CETP drug class lives on, it might only be in a rather restricted group of heart disease patients with a very specific mutation. Amgen became the last big biopharma group to cancel work on a drug in the HDL-raising class when it announced plans to seek a partner for AMG 899, following the lead of Merck & Co, which recently terminated its work with anacetrapib after disappointing results in the Reveal trial. Although big pharma groups obviously believe that it is unlikely for a CETP inhibitor to succeed commercially, it is not out of the realm of possibility that a partner could emerge for AMG 899 – Roche licensed its project, dalcetrapib, to the Canadian group Dalcor Pharmaceuticals, which has been researching its use in a genetic subtype, patients with an AA polymorphism at the rs1967309 location in the ADCY9 gene. Amgen will write off the $300m it paid for AMG 899’s originator, Dezima Pharma, in 2015, which at the time was seen as a cheap bet on the CETP sector.
