By Zoey Becker The recent trial flop for Ztalmy, this time in tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC)-associated seizures, leaves the company in a cost-cutting scramble as it moves to explore "strategic alternatives." |
By Zoey Becker The CDC's immunization committee voted to expand its usage recommendation for pneumococcal conjugate vaccines, a class that includes both Pfizer’s Prevnar 20 and Merck’s Capvaxive. |
By Conor Hale After receiving a green light earlier this year from FDA, Medtronic has now collected a European approval for the latest version of its TAVR implant. |
By Kevin Dunleavy Monopar Therapeutics is recovering a drug from the scrap heap of AstraZeneca’s rare disease pipeline. It licensed ALXN-1840, a candidate for the treatment of Wilson disease that was previously considered promising enough that Alexion, now an AZ subsidiary, paid $855 million to acquire it six years ago. |
By Angus Liu In a new deal potentially worth more than $1 billion, Roche is paying Dyno $50 million upfront to design novel adeno-associated virus vectors as delivery tools for gene therapies against neurological diseases. |
By Kevin Dunleavy Preliminary results from two trials showed that GSK’s RSV vaccine Arexvy has potential in a broad age range of immunocompromised and other at-risk individuals, potentially positioning the shot for a larger population. |
By Andrea Park The CDC seems to be taking an “if it ain’t broke” approach to its annual flu vaccine push. Rather than debuting an entirely new concept, this year’s campaign is instead a revamped version of last year’s “Wild to Mild” initiative. |
By Darren Incorvaia Poseida Therapeutics’ gene therapy for hereditary angioedema reduced kallikrein protein activity in a mouse model of the disease and edited a gene in the livers of nonhuman primates, the company said in an Oct. 24 release. |
By Nick Paul Taylor Moderna has identified a fundamental barrier to vaccination: many people don’t know they’re eligible. The biotech found almost one-third of people with underlying health conditions in the U.K. are unaware they could get vaccinated—and has kicked off an awareness drive to get the message out. |
By Fraiser Kansteiner In the phase 1/1b ARC-20 study of Arcus’ candidate casdatifan in metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma, the biotech’s HIF-2a inhibitor achieved a confirmed overall response rate (ORR) of 25%. Analysts at Evercore ISI were optimistic about Arcus’ data and the candidate's prospects against an approved rival. |
By Fraiser Kansteiner,Eric Sagonowsky,Angus Liu,Zoey Becker,Kevin Dunleavy In this tracker, Fierce Pharma is recording the regulatory progress of in-market products, including expansions into key geographies and new indications. Some of these updates may not meet the bar for standalone stories, but we think they are still worth mentioning. |
