EyePoint's pivotal study misses its primary goal, putting the next readout in focus
EyePoint reported that its LUGANO Phase 3 study of DURAVYU did not achieve its primary endpoint in the full patient group. The treatment did reduce injection burden by 42%, an encouraging secondary result for people with wet age-related macular degeneration.
Why it matters
Attention now shifts to LUCIA, EyePoint's second Phase 3 study, expected later this year. That result will carry much more weight for the program's path toward an FDA submission.
Sanofi plans reductions at Blueprint Medicines
Sanofi notified Massachusetts of planned reductions affecting 229 Blueprint positions in Cambridge after its 2025 acquisition.
Sanofi continues hiring selectively in statistics and medical strategy. Candidates should evaluate opportunities by team and program, not as a company-wide freeze.
AstraZeneca stops a late-stage lung cancer study
An independent committee concluded that eVOLVE-Lung02 was unlikely to meet its main goals. Other Phase 3 studies of volrustomig are continuing in different cancers.
Vera's new treatment shows an encouraging early signal
TRUTAKNA's accelerated approval was based on reduced proteinuria. The ongoing ORIGIN 3 study still needs to confirm longer-term kidney benefit.
Where demand showed up
Monday's openings leaned toward commercial, data, and operational work, while specialized quality and research hiring remained active.

The takeaway
The biotech job market is selective, not inactive.
Companies are stopping trials and consolidating teams, but they are still competing for specific capabilities. Strong applications should show direct experience with the employer's therapeutic area, development stage, or operational challenge.
