It was yet another busy week for clinical trial news, with a range of studies for COVID-19, various cancers, fungal infections and other indications.
Six months after acquiring Kadmon Holdings, pharma giant Sanofi is closing Kadmon’s New York facility. As part of the paring down, Sanofi is also laying off 25 employees at the location.
