| SNY REGN | Hot Stocks12:53 EDT Sanofi Regeneron announce positive results for Duxipent in Atopic Dermatitis - Sanofi (SNY) and Regeneron (REGN) have announced positive results from the Phase 3 CAFE study of Dupixent, or dupilumab, in adults with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis who are inadequately controlled with or intolerant to the broad immunosuppressant drug cyclosporine A, or CSA, or when this treatment is medically inadvisable. In the study, Dupixent with topical corticosteroids, or TCS, significantly improved measures of overall disease severity, skin clearing, itching, and patient reported quality of life measures. CSA is approved for the treatment of atopic dermatitis in most European countries and Japan; it is not approved in the U.S. for this use. The results of this study are being presented at the European Academy of Dermatology and Venerology Congress in Geneva, Switzerland. The primary endpoint of the study was the proportion of patients that achieved a 75% or greater improvement in the Eczema Area and Severity Index, or EASI-75, score at 16 weeks from baseline. 59% of patients who received Dupixent weekly with TCS, and 63% of patients who received Dupixent every two weeks with TCS achieved EASI-75, compared to 30% of those patients who received placebo with TCS. The mean percent change improvement in EASI from baseline at 16 weeks was 78% and 80% for patients who received Dupixent weekly or every two weeks with TCS, respectively, compared to 47% for those who received placebo plus TCS. Other secondary endpoints of the study included measures of the impact of Dupixent on the persistent itch caused by the disease, quality of life measures, and symptoms of anxiety and depression. No new adverse events were reported in the study.

| LSCC... | Hot Stocks09:46 EDT Week in review: How Trump's policies moved stocks - Catch up on the top industries and stocks that were impacted, or were predicted to be impacted, by the comments, actions and policies of President Trump and his administration with this weekly recap compiled by The Fly: 1. LATTICE: On Wednesday, President Trump issued an order prohibiting the acquisition of Lattice Semiconductor (LSCC) by, among others, China Venture Capital Fund, a Chinese corporation owned by Chinese state-owned entities. The President made the decision citing the potential that the foreign interest exercising control "might take action that threatens to impair the national security of the U.S." The news also weighed on MoneyGram (MGI), which has agreed to be acquired by Ant Financial, the financial-services company controlled by Alibaba's (BABA) Jack Ma. 2. ESPN: On Friday, President Trump tweeted about Disney's (DIS) ESPN, saying the sports network is "paying a really big price for its politics (and bad programming). People are dumping it in RECORD numbers. Apologize for untruth!" His tweets came after "SportsCenter" co-host Jemele Hill went on a Twitter rant earlier in the week against the president, calling him a "white supremacist" and "the most ignorant, offensive president of my lifetime." 3. HURRICANE IRMA: President Donald Trump visited Florida earlier this week, after Hurricane Irma caused still uncalculated damages across the state. On Thursday, he tweeted "Just left Florida for D.C. The people and spirit in THAT GREAT STATE is unbelievable. Damage horrific but will be better than ever!" On Monday Barclays analyst Jay Gelb had told investors that Hurricane Irma is expected to have a devastating impact on insurers, but it could have been worse if Miami suffered a direct hit. Nonetheless, Hurricane Harvey and Irma insured losses should top $100B, he argued. In his insurance coverage, Gelb expects re/insurers - including Everest Re (RE), XL Group (XL), RenaissanceRe (RNR), Validus (VR) and Aspen Insurance (AHL) - to take "the brunt of Irma losses." Primary commercial insurers with relatively less exposure likely include Chubb (CB), Travelers (TRV) and Hartford Financial (HIG), while AIG (AIG) could have greater losses among the primary insurers, the analyst contended, adding that Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) and Arch Capital (ACGL) likely have relatively modest reinsurance loss exposure, and could therefore expand their presence if pricing substantially improves. Among personal lines insurers, the analyst expects Allstate (ALL) and Progressive (PGR) to have manageable exposure. 4. SINGLE PAYER HEALTHCARE PLAN: On Thursday, President Donald Trump stated in a series of tweets: "Bernie Sanders is pushing hard for a single payer healthcare plan - a curse on the U.S. & its people... I told Republicans to approve healthcare fast or this would happen. But don't worry, I will veto because I love our country & its people." Publicly traded companies in the healthcare insurance space include Aetna (AET), Anthem (ANTM), Centene (CNC), Cigna (CI), Health Net (HNT), Humana (HUM), Molina Healthcare (MOH), UnitedHealth (UNH) and WellCare (WCG). 5. SELF-DRIVING LEGISLATION: According to a report by Reuters on Wednesday, Navistar (NAV) has asked a U.S Senate panel to add self-driving commercial trucks to an unanimously passed bill that reached the house last week to expedite the use of self-driving cars. While the current bill is only for vehicles under 10,000 pounds, the Senate is considering similar measures for large trucks. "Week in Review" is The Fly's weekly recap of its recurring series of "Trump Effect" exclusive stories.
