This was only slightly above the 17 announcements for the second quarter and two-thirds of the 33 reports in the first three months of this year. The largest announcement in the most recent quar

The Danish drugmaker is paying $300 million upfront to China’s Hengrui Pharma for a preclinical GLP-1/GIP dual receptor agonist.
