🔮The Pre-Market Download

ASH Finale: The conference closed with high-impact "Late-Breaking" data. Syndax (SNDX) and Incyte (INCY) were the standout winners, validating their respective platforms in leukemia and lymphoma.
Obesity Aftershock: The "Obesity Pivot" trade continues. Wave (WVE) and Structure (GPCR) held gains yesterday, signaling institutional accumulation despite the secondary offerings.
Macro Watch: The main event today is the CPI Inflation Print (8:30 AM ET). A hot number could pressure the XBI, which has rallied hard this week.
Deal Flow: Teleflex (TFX) divested its OEM unit for $1.5B to private equity, streamlining its portfolio for higher-growth medtech assets.

📊 Chart of the Week: The "Obesity Gap"

Visualizing how the market is repricing the next generation of weight loss (Quality vs. Quantity).

Asset (Company)	Modality	3-Month Efficacy Data	The "Edge"
Aleniglipron (Structure)	Oral Pill	~6.5% (Weight Loss)	Convenience. No needles; scalable manufacturing.
WVE-007 (Wave)	siRNA	-9.4% (Visceral Fat)	Quality. Precision fat loss while sparing muscle.

The Insight: While legacy injectables (Wegovy/Zepbound) lead on raw numbers (~15%), investors are paying a premium for Wave's "Quality" (Fat > Muscle) and Structure's "Convenience" (Oral). These are the keys to capturing the massive "Maintenance Market" in 2026.

🏛️ The Regulatory Radar: Week of Dec 8

Your logistics planner for the week ahead.

🔴 Wednesday (Today): CPI Inflation Print. A "Hot" number could delay Fed cuts, pressuring the XBI.
🟢 Thursday (Dec 11): BioCryst (BCRX) PDUFA for pediatric Orladeyo. Approval likely; focus is on the label breadth.
🔴 Friday (Dec 12): Amgen (AMGN) Uplizna PDUFA date (NMOSD indication). A key expansion for their rare disease franchise.

💬 Reader Poll: The Results Are In

Yesterday, we asked which modality wins the "Post-Injectable" obesity era. The results were incredibly tight.

Winner: Oral Small Molecules (36.9%)
Runner Up: RNA/siRNA (33.2%)
The Takeaway: Convenience is King. While the muscle-sparing benefits of RNA are compelling, the majority of you believe a "Daily Pill" (Structure) is the ultimate commercial winner over injections.

🗳️ New Poll: The "Chemo-Free" Future

With Incyte's strong Phase 3 win in Follicular Lymphoma, do you believe "Chemo-Free" regimens will become the standard of care in 2nd Line treatment by 2026?
