Q4 2026 Biopharma Catalyst Crunch: Late-Stage Readouts and Regulatory Milestones Converge on the Ivonescimab PDUFA Date
October 2026 is dense with clinical and regulatory news. Phase 3 trials hit primary endpoints (ALOFT-IPF, RESTORE-3), long-term data came out (MIUDELLA at 6 years, QUILT-3.032), and the FDA accepted Roche's vamikibart BLA.
