Novartis AG's U.S.-listed shares experienced a significant decline, shedding 13% to close at $139.01 on Tuesday. The drop was triggered by the failure of del-desiran, a drug developed as part of a recent acquisition, to advance in trials for a rare neuromuscular disease. This clinical trial setback indicates potential headwinds for the company's pipeline and investor sentiment.
