Aug 5, 2026·read at Endpoints ↗DealNeutral

Novo Nordisk CEO Maziar Mike Doustdar said on a media call that the pharma industry is tough for those who dislike setbacks and failure.

He highlighted recent disappointments in the company's pipeline, noting that several late-stage programs have not met expectations.
