Advantage BMS as AbbVie drug fails schizophrenia trials
If it does prove to be the end of emraclidine for schizophrenia, that looks set to benefit Bristol-Myers Squibb, which ended a 10-year hiatus in new-mechanism therapies for the disorder when it got FDA approval for Cobenfy (xanomeline tartrate/trospium chloride) in September. Shares in BMS rose nearly 12% after AbbVie's announcement.
