NAMI Oregon is proud to join Neurocrine Biosciences in supporting #TDAwarenessWeek, running from May 5-11. Tardive Dyskinesia (TD) is a condition characterized by persistent, involuntary movements affecting various parts of the body, such as the face, torso, limbs, and fingers or toes. These movements can vary from rapid and jerky to slow and writhing, significantly impacting those affected by TD. TD is often associated with prolonged use of antipsychotic medication, which may be necessary to treat mental illnesses like major depressive disorder and bipolar disorder. Approximately 600,000 Americans live with TD, and around 65% of them are undiagnosed. Let's raise awareness together and support those living with TD during #TDAwarenessWeek.

🔬 Biopharma Layoffs: Navigating Challenges in a Shifting Landscape Recent trends in biopharma layoffs have left many scientists reeling. Here are key takeaways from a recent STAT article: 67% of life science layoffs in H1 2024 were at large biopharma companies (>$1B annual sales), up from 47% in 2021-2023. Job postings in biotech dropped from 21,366 to 12,300 between early 2021 and 2024. Scientists face unique challenges in job searches, including maintaining confidentiality about previous work. Visa constraints add pressure for international workers, limiting job search time. Networking remains crucial: Some successful companies are hiring primarily through personal connections. The industry sees this as part of a cyclical pattern, influenced by patent expirations and acquisitions. Despite these challenges, opportunities still exist. Adaptability, networking, and a broader job search approach are key for scientists navigating this evolving landscape. What strategies have you found effective in weathering industry changes?

<!-- Content start --> South San Francisco, CA — July 3, 2024 — Genentech, a member of the Roche Group (SIX: RO, ROG; OTCQX: RHHBY), announced today that the Phase II/III SKYSCRAPER-06 study, evaluating tiragolumab plus Tecentriq® (atezolizumab) and chemotherapy versus pembrolizumab and chemotherapy as an initial (first-line) treatment for people with previously untreated, locally advanced unresectable or metastatic non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (nSq NSCLC), did not meet its primary endpoints of progression-free survival (PFS) at its primary analysis with a hazard ratio (HR) of 1.27 [95% CI: 1.02,1.57] and overall survival (OS) at its first interim analysis with a HR of 1.33 [95% CI: 1.02, 1.73], which was immature. The combination of tiragolumab plus Tecentriq and chemotherapy showed reduced efficacy in both PFS and OS compared to the comparator arm in the intent-to-treat population, which includes Phase II and Phase III cohorts. The overall safety profile remains consistent with the safety profile previously observed for the combination of tiragolumab plus Tecentriq and chemotherapy, and no new or unexpected findings were identified. Based on these results, patients and investigators will be unblinded and we intend to halt the study. A communication will be sent to the investigators and results will be shared with health authorities and subsequently presented at an upcoming medical meeting. “These results are disappointing as it was our hope that this combination might yield improved outcomes for people living with metastatic non-squamous lung cancer,” said Levi Garraway, M.D., Ph.D., chief medical officer and head of Global Product Development. “We are thankful to all of the patients and healthcare professionals involved in the study, and we will leverage the learnings to inform our scientific understanding of the anti-TIGIT pathway and new avenues in cancer research.” Ongoing Phase III studies are investigating treatment settings and indications distinct from SKYSCRAPER-06. Based on today’s results, we will evaluate any relevant changes needed to the ongoing tiragolumab program. About SKYSCRAPER-06 study SKYSCRAPER-06 is a global Phase II/III, randomized, placebo-controlled and double-blinded study evaluating tiragolumab plus Tecentriq® (atezolizumab) and chemotherapy as an initial (first-line) treatment versus pembrolizumab and chemotherapy in 542 people with non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer. Primary endpoints are overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). About tiragolumab Tiragolumab is an investigational novel immune checkpoint inhibitor with an intact Fc region. Tiragolumab selectively binds to TIGIT, a novel inhibitory immune checkpoint which suppresses the immune response to cancer. Based on preclinical research, tiragolumab is thought to work as an immune amplifier with other cancer immunotherapies such as Tecentriq® (atezolizumab). The TIGIT pathway is distinct but
