Summitâs Ivonescimab: Geography Fail or Just Lost in Translation?
Summit Therapeutics' latest blockbuster lung cancer drug, ivonescimab, might need a GPS because apparently, location is its kryptonite. While the science is cooking, the geography is burning. This isnât just a minor hiccupâthink less stumble, more faceplant in pharma global checkers. The exact locations causing market headaches werenât spelled out, but Summit's apparently trying to launch a drug thatâs playing hide-and-seek with success. Matrix-level plot twist: lung cancer patients donât appreciate geography lessons mid-treatment. If lungs had a Yelp, ivonescimabâs would get a one-star 'Wrong address, bad delivery' review. Someone tell Summit that even cancer prefers consistent zip codes.

Summitâs lung cancer drug ivonescimab is trying to fix lungs but forgot to Google Maps its own launch. Nothing like a geography crisis to remind you pharma really is just adult hide-and-seek with human lives.
Ivonescimabâs real side effect? Making Summit Therapeutics realize geography matters. Cancerâs tough, but apparently confusing markets across borders is even tougher.
Summit wiped maps off their to-do list while making ivonescimab. Next step: figuring out if cancer cares what side of the border youâre on.
