Vertex Pharmaceuticals’ suzetrigine, previously named VX-548, is steadily advancing along its rolling submission approval pathway okayed by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for moderate-to-severe acute pain. The company announced its plans to submit an NDA following positive Phase III results from two clinical trials investigating the drug in patients who had undergone bunionectomy (NCT05553366) or abdominoplasty (NCT05558410) surgery. Both trials met the primary endpoints, and suzetrigine demonstrated a favourable safety profile with no serious adverse events reported. Vertex has started the rolling submission process and aims to finish by Q2 2024. With FDA fast track and breakthrough therapy designations already secured for the drug to treat acute pain, Vertex is now focusing on neuropathic pain, where positive Phase II results have been achieved. Following a successful end-of-Phase II meeting with the FDA, Vertex is planning a Phase III pivotal programme for patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) later ...
The Tyche model could help clinicians and researchers capture crucial information in images Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, and Massachusetts General Hospital have introduced a new artificial intelligence (AI) tool to capture the uncertainty in a medical image. Funded by the National Institute of Health, the Eric and Wendy Schmidt Center and Quanta Computer, the Tyche machine-learning model could help clinicians and researchers capture crucial information. In biomedicine, AI models help clinicians by highlighting pixels that show signs of a certain disease or anomaly. However, these types of models usually only provide one answer. “Having options can help in decision-making” and “so it is important to take this uncertainty into account,” said MIT computer science PhD candidate, Marianne Rakic. Researchers developed Tyche after modifying a straightforward neural network architecture. After feeding the tool a few examples of segmentation tasks, such ...
Breast cancer was responsible for 2.3 million diagnoses and 670,000 deaths globally in 2022 A new report led by the University of Cambridge and supported by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) has highlighted inequalities among people living with breast cancer. Published by the Lancet Commission, the report sets out several recommendations to tackle these challenges in breast cancer and builds on previous evidence, new data and patient voices. According to the World Health Organization, breast cancer was responsible for 2.3 million diagnoses and 670,000 global deaths in 2022. Despite recent improvements in breast cancer, including advances in diagnosis and treatment, many people are still disproportionately affected. The commission revealed that progress in research and cancer management has led to a decrease of over 40% in breast cancer mortality, with estimates suggesting that the global breast cancer incidence will increase from 2.3 million new cases in 2020 ...

BY SEAN WHOOLEYIceCure Medical (Nasdaq:ICCM) announced today that it submitted final data to the FDA requesting marketing authorization for its ProSense system. Caesarea, Israel-based IceCure designed ProSense to deliver cryoablation that treats breast cancer in a 20-40-minute outpatient procedure. It seeks FDA authorization for treating patients with early-stage T1 invasive breast cancer with cryoablation and adjuvant hormone therapy. ProSense already holds FDA breakthrough device designation and has clearance in the U.S. for other indications. Those include treating benign tumors of the breast, and tumors in the kidney and liver. However, the FDA in 2022 denied IceCure’s de novo classification request for ProSense to treat patients with early-stage, low-risk breast cancer. In January of this year, the FDA agreed to reopen the de novo file. An affirmative response from the FDA provided IceCure with a potential pathway to clearance. The company submitted a five-year follow-up dataset from the ICE3 study and ...
Mike Hollan The Health Cube will increase remote and virtual care options for populations living in remote areas. AI is helping to expand healthcare solutions to rural areas. While people living in or near highly populated areas tend to have more options when it comes to healthcare, the lack of options in rural areas can be a real issue. For patients living in a state like Alaska, getting access to the proper care can involve traveling long distances, delays in obtaining medication, and sometimes being unable to find the proper specialists. One way that the industry is attempting to solve this issue is by bringing more telehealth and virtual options to these areas. New technologies, such as AI, are making this easier, as the algorithms are better able to match patients with the proper care providers through virtual sessions, while also making it easier to find ways to get the ...

Dive Brief Boston Scientific has recalled an agent used to block blood flow to specific vessels due to a safety problem that has been tied to seven injuries and two deaths, the Food and Drug Administration said Wednesday in a recall notice. The company wrote to customers in February to advise against delivering the agent via a commonly used method in some patients because of a risk of reduced blood flow to the bowel. Boston Scientific’s product, Obsidio Conformable Embolic, remains on the market, but the company advised healthcare providers to ensure information on the risk is easily accessible to all users. Dive Insight The solution flows like a liquid when force is applied, and then returns to a soft solid state when the force is removed. As a soft solid, the agent blocks blood vessels. Physicians use the product to block blood supply to tumors with large numbers of ...
ENTOD Pharmaceuticals received approval from CDSCO for PresVu, a treatment for presbyopia, by the Subject Expert Committee (SEC) of the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO). PresVu is a eye drop in India designed to alleviate the need for reading glasses among individuals grappling with presbyopia. Presbyopia, characterised by blurred near vision due to the decreased flexibility of the eye’s natural lens, primarily impacts individuals aged 40 and above. PresVu offers swift relief and temporary correction of vision problems associated with presbyopia. PresVu eye drops adjust rapidly to tear pH, ensuring sustained efficacy and safety for long-term use. The company completed development of these eye drops in late 2022 after which it was subjected to clinical testing in India. Reportedly, Phase 3 clinical trials carried out in India and the US have demonstrated PresVu’s efficacy in enhancing close-up vision within minutes of application, with effects lasting up to six hours. ...
