Promising Clinical Trials Coming in 2016 for IBD, Prostate Cancer and Spinal Cord Injuries
ACCESSWIRE - Tue Dec 15, 7:00AM CST
REDONDO BEACH, CA / ACCESSWIRE / December 15, 2015 / As 2015 winds to a close, a little reflection shows it was a huge year for biotechnology. Of course, this year featured the biggest tax inversion deal ever with Pfizer (NYSE: PFE) and Allergan (NYSE: AGN) agreeing to combine companies in a whopping $160 billion deal. That mega-merger pushed the total for health and pharmaceutical mergers over $550 billion in 2015, up 17 percent from a year earlier, as big pharmas look to buy companies rather than risking resources on their own research and development. As with every year before it, 2015 was a time for new drugs to come to market, including Novartis' (NYSE: NVS) heart failure drug Entresto, and clinical trials advancing to offer hope for those in need in the future. Below are some companies that will be initiating key trials in 2016.
