NHS reduces long waits for cancer care and achieves faster ambulance responses

For the second month in a row, the NHS has met the 28-day faster diagnosis target for cancer The NHS has announced, for the second month in a row, that it has met the 28-day faster diagnosis target for cancer as well as faster ambulance responses to call outs compared to March 2024. The announcement builds on targeted national support for NHS trusts in reducing variation across the country and speeding up diagnosis for patients, while also bringing down the backlog of patients waiting for diagnosis or treatment from the COVID-19 pandemic. New published data has shown that the number of patients waiting more than 62 days for care is now at its lowest ever since the end of April 2020, reducing by almost 20,000 patients since the post-pandemic peak. In addition, almost 77% of people referred or screened received a definitive diagnosis or were all clear within four weeks, ...

MHRA’s AI Airlock to address challenges for regulating AI medical devices

The sandbox will help to inform future AI Airlock projects and influence future AlaMD guidance The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has launched AI Airlock, a new regulatory sandbox, to address the challenges of regulating medical devices that use artificial intelligence (AI). In alignment with the regulator’s goal for the UK to be a science and technology superpower by 2030, the new sandbox builds on the MHRA’s strategic approach to AI in April, which was set out to respond to a white paper published by the government in 2023. It highlighted that the regulator is considering the opportunities and risks of AI from three perspectives: as a regulator of AI products, as a public service organisation delivering time-critical decisions and as an organisation that produces evidence-based decisions that impact public and patient safety, where evidence is often supplied by third parties. The new sandbox for AI as a ...

NHS still faces waiting list challenges

Commenting on the publication today of the NHS monthly performance statistics, Tim Gardner, Assistant Director of Policy at the Health Foundation, said: ‘While the pressure of winter has eased, today’s data shows urgent and emergency care is still feeling the strain. Over 42,000 patients spent more than 12 hours in A&E before being admitted to a bed last month, and 1 in 10 with a serious condition such as a stroke or chest pain waited over an hour for an ambulance. ‘There are some positive signs in areas of cancer care but following several months of progress, the overall waiting list in March 2024 has remained broadly flat. Fewer than expected referrals into specialist care means the recent fall in the waiting list was largely driven by fewer patients joining the list, rather than because substantially more are being treated. The reality is the waiting list is still 7.5 million, ...

How stricter EtO regs could shape the medtech industry

The Environmental Protection Agency recently implemented new regulations to limit emissions of a common but cancer-causing medical device sterilant, after years of health meetings, lawsuits and debate about how to handle the issue. Medical device companies will need to comply with new requirements governing ethylene oxide (EtO) emissions, and some device sterilizers are searching for suitable alternatives. In April, the EPA published a final rule that sets new limits for medical device sterilizers that use EtO. Now, companies will have three years to comply with the new standards. The agency is also working on a separate set of requirements to reduce EtO exposure for workers in sterilization plants. Long-term exposure to the chemical can increase a person’s lifetime cancer risk. In the meantime, the Food and Drug Administration has been evaluating other ways of sterilizing medical devices and changes companies can make to reduce EtO emissions. It has also launched ...

RAPT terminates Phase II trials for lead candidate following clinical hold

RAPT Therapeutics has announced plans to terminate two Phase II trials for its lead candidate, zelnecirnon (RPT193), three months after the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) placed a clinical hold on them. In February, the US regulatory agency placed a clinical hold on the Phase IIa (NCT05935332) and Phase IIb trials (NCT05399368) that evaluated zelnecirnon in atopic dermatitis and moderate to severe asthma, respectively. The hold was placed after a patient in the atopic dermatitis trial suffered liver failure possibly caused by zelnecirnon. Following the trial termination news, RAPT’s stock was down by 41.7% at market close on 9 May, compared to market close on the previous day. Since the clinical hold was announced on 20 February, the company’s stock has dropped by over 82% compared to its peak before the news.
