NICE recommends two AI-powered software tools for stroke diagnosis in NHS

The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) has recommended two artificial intelligence (AI)-powered software tools for use in the NHS for stroke diagnosis. The two softwares – e-Stroke and RapidAI – were selected after the health technology assessment agency found some evidence of faster and better access to treatment after using the software. Currently the leading cause of disability, responsible for more than 100,000 cases in the UK every year, a stroke is a life-threatening medical condition that occurs when the blood supply to parts of the brain is cut off.

The institute also noted that some form of AI was deployed in 99 out of 107 stroke units in England. e-Stroke, developed by Brainomix, was implemented in hundreds of hospitals in the UK, as ...

Gilead’s Tecartus gets revised safety demand amid FDA’s push for CAR-T boxed warnings

The FDA’s letter demanding a labeling change for Gilead Sciences’ Tecartus temporarily went missing on the agency’s website Tuesday. Turns out, the FDA didn’t drop the CD19 CAR-T from a classwide safety alert list. Instead, the agency has adjusted the wording of a proposed boxed warning. In a revised letter (PDF) dated Jan. 23, the FDA is still pressing Gilead’s cell therapy unit Kite Pharma to include new language about the risk of T-cell malignancies in the black-box warning section of Tecartus’ label. But unlike its proposed boxed warning for other commercial CAR-T therapies, the FDA’s updated letter for Tecartus no longer names Tecartus patients specifically as having experienced T-cell malignancies. The FDA apparently took some time before uploading the new letter after taking down the original one, dated Jan. 19. The missing letter for Tecartus caused a brief period of confusion because the FDA says in all letters to ...
