Endpoints News is an American digital news publication focused on the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries. Founded in 2016 by John Carroll and Arsalan Arif, it reports on drug development, regulatory affairs, and biotech investment.

Drew Armstrong was appointed executive editor in 2022 after serving as Bloomberg’s senior editor for health care[3].
Media Appearances
In 2023, the Financial Times acquired a majority stake in Endpoints News. Reuters[1] reported that the acquisition reflected the FT’s strategy to expand into the U.S. and biopharma markets, while Axios[4] published an interview with FT executive Matt Fottrell on the motivations for the deal. The media industry outlet A Media Operator[5] analyzed the potential implications of the acquisition for Endpoints News’ subscription model.
Endpoints News reporting has been cited by mainstream and pharmaceutical news organizations. In 2025, the outlet first reported on FDA official Vinay Prasad’s departure[6] and subsequent return[7], coverage later referenced by Reuters[8], The Guardian[9][10], and Fierce Pharma[11].
