Eye drug study won’t sway Genentech on treatment choice
Genentech declined to seek FDA approval for Avastin to treat wet age related macular degeneration and did not back or collaborate on NEI trials comparing Avastin with Lucentis. Medicare estimates show up to 50,000-plus new cases yearly, with Lucentis costing $1.2 billion versus $60 million for Avastin. The company argues trials lack safety breadth and notes Lucentis remains the preferred option.

Ex KGB spy and defector Yuri Nosenko dies at 81
Yuri Ivanovich Nosenko, a former KGB officer who defected during the Cold War and was hailed by the CIA as its most valuable defector, died at age 81. He defected in 1964, was held in a Clinton Maryland safe house after 1965 interrogations, and spent years under a false identity after a period in a special jail amid suspicions of double agent status.
