Latecomer Sanofi looks to catch next wave of cancer therapies
Sanofi (SASY.PA) missed the boat on immune system-boosting cancer drugs. The French drugmaker has hired John Reed, the former top scientist at oncology market leader Roche (ROG.S) to head its group research operations. Dmitri Wiederschain, head of Sanofi's immuno-oncology research, acknowledged the company had failed to capitalise on the takeoff of immunotherapy - drugs that activate the body's immune system to attack tumour cells - in the early 2010s.

In China, Baijiu and HPV Vaccines Have Something in Common
At first blush, HPV vaccines and Chinese rice wine don’t have much in common. For a start, shares in both have been on a tear. Kweichow Moutai is up 65 percent over the past 12 months, while Zhifei Biological, Merck & Co.’s exclusive sales agent in China, has risen 135 percent. The China Food and Drug Administration has accelerated approvals for new vaccines: While Merck’s Gardasil, which protects against four strains of human papilloma virus, took 1,421 days to get the nod, Gardasil 9, which protects against nine types of HPV, got the regulatory stamp from Beijing in just eight days.
