387: Challenges for a crucial sickle cell treatment and the latest outlook for GLP-1s

On this week’s episode of The Readout LOUD: two starkly different financial outlooks from Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly, a psychedelics drug from Compass Pathways encountered a roadblock with the Trump White House, and a closer look at why manufacturing problems have slowed the rollout of a crucial sickle cell treatment. It’s our pre-Super Bowl show, which triggered some co-host squabbling. Adam Feuerstein is all Patriots, Elaine Chen is Team Seahawks, while Allison DeAngelis, raised in Seattle but now a Boston denizen, struggles with dual loyalties. Our special guest this week is STAT reporter Jason Mast. And if you get a chance, wish Adam a happy birthday.
