Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting

Novartis' failure injects a negative read-through into a multi-player Lp(a) race; AMGN stock moved down in after-hours trading, suggesting near-term pressure, even as olpasiran could define long-run value if data later strengthens the case for deeper Lp(a) reductions.
