Palo Alto, Calif.-based Varian Medical Systems Inc. has joined the ranks of other companies in withdrawing its guidance even as at least one analyst saw positive news for the second quarter. For her part, BTIG’s Marie Thibault noted that the company missed on Americas oncology gross order metric, while falling short on consensus non-GAAP earnings per share (EPS) by five cents.
TG Therapeutics Inc. got a dose of good news when the independent data safety monitoring board recommended that the UNITY-CLL study be stopped early for superior efficacy after an interim analysis showed its umbralisib and ublituximab combination (U2) helped patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).
