Pipeline Watch is a weekly snapshot of selected late-stage clinical trial events and approvals announced by pharmaceutical and biotech companies at medical and industry conferences, in financial and company presentations, and in company releases and statements.

The new indication represents the third one for Sanofi/Regeneron's IL-4/IL-13 inhibitor, after atopic dermatitis and moderate to severe asthma.

The third quarter could bring US approvals for a range of novel drugs, including the first treatment for a common eye disease, the first US approval of PD-1/L1 inhibitor from a Chinese firm, and the first oral therapy for postpartum depression.
