The company also now plans to start at least 20 Phase 3 trials this year, up from the 10 that it had disclosed at the beginning of 2026.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe are step-by-step building a set of potential best-in-class products across our core therapy areas,\u201d Miels said, a list that includes some newer target areas \u2014 like oncology and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.statnews.com\/2026\/05\/28\/hepatitis-b-treatment-gsk-clinical-trials\/\">liver disease<\/a> \u2014 as well as longtime GSK focuses like vaccines and HIV.
