Monday, March 11, 9:34 AM The National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) adds the combination of carfilzomib, which is sold by Onyx Pharmaceuticals (ONXX), lendalidomide (made by Celgene (CELG)) and dexamethasone to its guidelines as an option for treating multiple myeloma patients who are also transplant candidates.

The FDA hasn't approved carfilzomib for these uses, so Onyx won't market carfilzomib for them. Comment! [Healthcare]

Sunday, March 3, 4:02 AM Celgene's (CELG) Apremilast anti-inflammatory treatment reduced the symptoms of psoriasis, an autoimmune skin disease, by 75% in a third of patients in a Phase III trial.
