Schizophrenia Trial Failure Ends Acadia’s Efforts to Expand Use of Its Flagship Drug

With pimavanserin’s Phase 3 failure in schizophrenia, Acadia Pharmaceuticals said it will no longer run clinical trials for the drug, whose lone approval is for treating psychosis from Parkinson’s disease. The FDA previously rebuffed regulatory submissions for the drug in dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. By FRANK VINLUAN An Acadia Pharmaceuticals drug that’s already approved for treating psychosis in Parkinson’s disease patients could not beat a placebo in a pivotal schizophrenia study, spelling the end of efforts to develop a medication the company once envisioned as having potential applications across a range of neurological disorders. The clinical trial failure announced Tuesday evaluated the drug, pimavanserin, as a treatment for negative symptoms of schizophrenia. The main goal was to show a change in score according to an assessment used to measure the disease’s symptoms. According to the preliminary results, the pimavanserin arm achieved a numerical change in score that was similar to ...

Rapid AST Platform Provides Targeted Therapeutic Results Days Faster Than Current Standard of Care

Bacteria are outpacing scientific advancements, leading to a worrying increase in antibiotic resistance, a situation the World Health Organization has identified as an emerging global health crisis. The key to countering this trend lies in achieving quicker diagnostic results, comprehensive susceptibility testing across various sample types, and the ability to test against a broad range of commercially relevant antibiotics simultaneously. Now, a rapid antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST) system can provide targeted therapeutic results days faster than the current standard of care. Selux Diagnostics (Boston, MA, USA) has received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its proprietary Positive Blood Culture (PBC) Separator. The addition of positive blood culture sample type expands the Selux Next Generation Phenotyping (NGP) System, making this the only FDA-cleared, single-platform technology to deliver rapid AST results for both positive blood culture and isolated colonies. The Selux PBC Separator streamlines the process for ...

Novo Nordisk Obesity Pill Flashes the Potential to Beat Wegovy in Weight Loss

An experimental Novo Nordisk obesity pill led to weight loss of 13.1% in a clinical trial, topping results posted in studies of the company’s approved injectable medication Wegovy. It’s early days and more testing is needed, but the preliminary data suggest that this pill has the potential to offer patients superior weight shedding in a more convenient oral formulation. Phase 1 data for the once-daily Novo Nordisk pill, amycretin, were presented Thursday during a company investor event. The study followed participants for 12 weeks. In that span, those who received a placebo lost 1.1% of their body weight. Wegovy, which is administered as a once-weekly injection, was not part of this clinical trial. Published clinical trial results for that drug show it led to weight loss of 5.9% measured at 12 weeks. Wegovy, whose main ingredient is the peptide semaglutide, offers one mechanism of action: activating the GLP-1 receptor to ...

Automated Multiplexing Molecular Diagnostic Platform Revolutionizes Infectious Disease Diagnostics

A new fully automated multiplexing molecular diagnostic platform offers an innovative and cost-effective testing approach by allowing customization of tests along with the ability to process and pay for desired results, thus enabling laboratories to maximize testing efficiencies. Diasorin’s (Saluggia, Italy) new LIAISON PLEX platform provides complete flexibility for the customization of syndromic panels and helps overcome the challenge of the “one size fits all” approach faced by clinical laboratory staff for infectious disease syndromic diagnostics. Custom panels enable adjustments in response to seasonal changes and updates in clinical guidelines, helping prevent unnecessary and costly over-testing – a common issue with fixed, broad syndromic panels currently in use. The user-friendly, fully automated sample-to-answer system offers a streamlined workflow and room-temperature stable consumables, simplifying storage and transport logistics. Additionally, it requires just two minutes of hands-on time per sample and can deliver results in less than two hours. The LIAISON PLEX, ...
