The Week Ahead In Biotech: Clinical Readouts In Focus As Earnings Wind Down

Biotech stocks went about a consolidation move last week, although a few swung wildly in either direction in reaction to some catalytic events.

Aslan ASLN tumbled after its late-stage biliary tract cancer drug candidate flunked a pivotal study. Lipocine Inc's LPCN investigational male sex hormone replacement therapy failed to win FDA nod, with the regulatory body shooting down the application for the third time.

Now, here are the key catalytic events for the unfolding week.
