New Tests to Help Predict Disease Progression in Ulcerative Colitis

Ulcerative colitis, a type of inflammatory bowel disease, progressively damages the gut lining. It leads to inflammation and ulcers in the colon and rectum. Currently, the initial treatment for mild-to-moderate cases typically involves 5-Aminosalicylates (5-ASA), while more advanced stages are managed with steroids, immunosuppressants, and biological drugs. There is an urgent need for accurate biomarker-based methods to quickly identify the most effective treatment plans post-diagnosis. Now, a new collaboration aims to personalize treatments for ulcerative colitis, ultimately enhancing the quality of life for those affected by the condition. RCSI University of Medicine and Health Sciences (Dublin, Ireland) and diagnostics company Serosep Ltd. (Limerick, Ireland) have joined forces to expedite the development of innovative tests to predict disease progression in individuals with ulcerative colitis. This initiative will focus on developing technology to identify patients whose condition is likely to worsen. The goal is to ensure individuals receive the most beneficial care ...

First of Its Kind Software Uses AI and ML for Personalized Disease Prediction

Currently, no artificial intelligence (AI) or machine-learning tools are available for investigating and interpreting the complete human genome, particularly for non-experts. Now, a first-of-its-kind software combines AI and machine-learning approaches to understand the importance of specific genomic biomarkers to predict diseases in individuals. The IntelliGenes software created by researchers at Rutgers Health (New Brunswick, NJ, USA) combines conventional statistical methods with cutting-edge machine learning algorithms to generate personalized patient predictions and provide a visual representation of the biomarkers significant to disease prediction. IntelliGenes has been designed in such as way that the platform can be used by anyone, including students or those lacking strong knowledge of bioinformatics techniques or access to high-performing computers. In a study, the researchers demonstrated how IntelliGenes can be deployed by a wide range of users to analyze multigenomic and clinical data. In another study, the researchers applied IntelliGenes to discover novel biomarkers and predict cardiovascular ...

The stock offering marks the first biotech IPO of 2024. CG was able to raise much more than planned. In preliminary financial terms set earlier this week, the company projected selling 17 million shares in the range of $16 to $18 each, which would have raised $289 million at the pricing midpoint.

Key Trends from the 2024 J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference

Key trends such as the resilience of the emerging biopharma space, the complexities of Medicare, and the revolutionary role of data and AI are shaping the future of the industry. By SUJAY JADHAV Beneath the Californian sunshine (and a few showers) at JP Morgan, a revolution simmers. Not a political one, but a healthcare revolution propelled by necessity and fueled by innovation. Imagine a future where groundbreaking therapies reach patients years sooner, personalized treatments offer hope for chronic diseases, and healthcare costs become more manageable for everyone. This isn’t science fiction; it’s the promise of the cutting-edge trends made at the annual J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference earlier this month. For those that attended JPM in early 2023, you may recall it was quite gloomy coming off of a soft 2022 and an interest rate burdened 2023. JPM 2024 had an air of optimism.

With record year, Samsung Biologics bucks CDMO industry’s troublesome 2023

Last year proved a challenging year for contract manufacturers across the board, but Korea’s Samsung Biologics appears to have bucked the losing trend by charting what it called an “exceptional” performance. In the fourth quarter, Samsung reeled in 1.07 trillion Korean won (about $802 million), growing sales 11% over the same period in 2022. For the full year, Samsung grew sales 23.1% to 3.69 trillion Korean won ($2.8 billion), the company said in an earnings release Wednesday. Also last year, Samsung Biologics became Korea’s first domestic biopharma firm to generate 1 trillion won in annual profit, Business Korea reports. The 2023 result marks another revenue record for the CDMO giant, which has enjoyed fast growth over the last 8 years, according to Companies Market Cap. Samsung Biologics credited the “exceptional” performance to the ramp-up of operations at its massive Plant 4 in Songdo, South Korea, plus a “robust” sales backlog. ...

Apotex, Heritage and Breckenridge settle with purchasers in generics price-fixing case

Over the years, myriad generic drugmakers have had to ante up fines and settlement fees for allegedly colluding on the prices of copycat drugs. Now, Apotex and two of its generics peers have agreed to settle with direct purchasers of their drugs in a price-fixing case that stretches all the way back to 2017. Apotex plans to settle with the group of direct purchaser plaintiffs for $30 million, while Heritage Pharmaceuticals and Breckenridge Pharmaceutical will hand over $10 million and $5 million, respectively, according to a trio of motions filed Tuesday in the multidistrict litigation in Pennsylvania federal court. Each of the settlement amounts has the potential to increase or decrease, depending on the outcome of the legal proceedings. Apotex, for instance, could have its settlement fund reduced by up to $3.6 million if certain parties opt out of the deal. The case stretches back to 2017, when direct purchasers ...

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. NICE advised that the software tools can be used within the NHS “while further evidence is generated to help better determine their cost-effectiveness”. 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 ...
