The latest update is out from CASI Pharmaceuticals ( (CASIF) ).

CASI Pharmaceuticals announced a leadership change, reporting that Chief Executive Officer and director David Cory has resigned from both roles, effective March 31, 2026. Executive chairman Dr. Wei-Wu He, Ph.D., will assume the role of the company’s principal executive officer, a move that consolidates strategic control at the board level and may signal a shift in corporate priorities and execution for shareholders and partners.

Leadership continuity through Dr. He’s expanded responsibilities could help maintain momentum in the company’s core programs, but the CEO departure may prompt investor scrutiny of governance, succession planning, and the company’s long-term strategic direction.
