Secretary of state sets out priorities for UK health and social care systems

The commitments will make health systems faster, simpler and fairer for patients Health and social care secretary Victoria Atkins has set out new priorities to improve the health and social care system in the UK. The new commitments intend to make the health and social care system faster, simpler and fairer for patients. As healthcare systems approach the winter season, Atkins has committed to ensuring that health and social care services are faster for patients by making it easier to get treatment locally, improving A&E performance and cutting waiting lists. She commits to making systems simpler for patients and staff with joined-up integrated care and reducing bureaucracy by giving them the latest technology to free up their time to care for patients. Furthermore, Atkins committed to making systems fairer by ensuring that children are protected from health harms; health outcomes are not determined by where people live; the government supports ...

LetsGetChecked secures first FDA authorization for at-home chlamydia and gonorrhea test

Dive Brief The Food and Drug Administration has authorized the first chlamydia and gonorrhea test with at-home sample collection. LetsGetChecked received de novo authorization for the Simple 2 Test, an over-the-counter kit that uses vaginal swabs or urine specimens to detect the bacteria that cause the two sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). The authorization will move sample collection from the doctor’s office to the home — potentially increasing testing of STDs, which are on the rise — and create a 510(k) pathway for rival diagnostics. Dive Insight Until this week, the FDA had only authorized at-home sample collection for one STD, HIV. Sample collection for all other STDs occurred at the point of care, for example, in a doctor’s office. People may be less likely to get tested at the point of care, particularly for frequently asymptomatic infections such as chlamydia and gonorrhea, because of concerns about confidentiality and convenience. The ...

Janssen Sends Data for Phase III Children’s Pulmonary Tuberculosis Treatment to FDA and EMA

Don Tracy, Associate Editor Company aims to receive approval on a Type II Variation application for Sirturo for patients with pulmonary tuberculosis. The Janssen Pharmaceutical Companies of Johnson & Johnson (Janssen) has announced the submission of a Type II Variation application to the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for bedaquiline (Sirturo), indicated as part of a combination therapy for adults and pediatric patients over the age of five with pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) due to multi-drug resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Back in August, a supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) was also submitted to the FDA for the medication. According to data from the CDC, there was a report of approximately 8,300 cases of TB in 2022, up from 7,874 cases reported in 2021. The center also reports that TB cases in the United States are beginning to return to pre-pandemic levels, following a substantial decline in 2020, likely due to factors associated with ...

AI may help identify potential gonorrhea vaccine proteins

Gonorrhea, a sexually transmitted bacterial infection that affects more than 80 million people worldwide every year, has become resistant to almost all known antibiotics. That makes it notoriously difficult to treat, but left untreated, an infection could lead to serious or even fatal complications. It also increases a person’s risk of contracting HIV. A new study suggests artificial intelligence (AI) may help identify a vaccine’s key ingredients. This week in mBio, an international collaboration between academic and commercial researchers reported the identification of 2 promising antigens as candidates for a gonorrhea vaccine. The researchers used an AI model called Efficacy Discriminative Educated Network, or EDEN, to identify the protective proteins. They also used EDEN to generate scores that accurately predicted how well antigen combinations would reduce pathogenic bacterial populations of Neisseria gonorrhoeae, the microbe that causes gonorrhea. “To the best of our knowledge, this correlation has not been shown before,” ...

Parkinson’s UK calls on government to mark World Patient Safety Day

The report outlines ways the government can help patients with Parkinson’s disease Parkinson’s UK has called on the government to take action to help people with Parkinson’s disease (PD) get their medication on time in hospital, as part of its relaunched ‘Get It On Time’ campaign to mark World Patient Safety Day on 17 September. The charity, alongside Diabetes UK, Epilepsy Action, National Aids, Rethink Mental Illness and the Richmond Group, supported by the Royal College of Emergency Medicine and the Royal Pharmaceutical Society, outlined in a joint statement how the government can take action to help patients with PD. PD is a progressive neurological condition which affects an estimated 128,000 people in England. People living with PD can experience severe harm to their health, such as trauma, as a result of not receiving their medication on time while in hospital. The issue also affects patients living with diabetes, epilepsy ...

Evaxion partners with Afrigen Biologics to develop mRNA gonorrhea vaccine

The Danish artificial intelligence (AI) biotech Evaxion has announced plans to develop an mRNA vaccine against gonorrhea in partnership with Afrigen Biologics. Gonorrhea antigens identified through Evaxion’s EDEN platform have shown strong protective effects in preclinical trials, as per the company. The partnership will investigate the function of these antigens when presented in the mRNA form. After the validation phase, the partners will discuss an agreement for clinical development and commercialisation, with the opportunity to involve additional collaborators. Cape Town, South Africa-based Afrigen Biologics is set up as a specialised centre to support mRNA vaccine development and technology transfer, will take charge of developing the mRNA vaccine in low and middle-income countries and African territories. Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted infection, caused by the bacteria Neisseria gonorrhoeae. It heightens the vulnerability to HIV, a prevalent health concern in many low and middle-income countries (LMICs). Birgitte Rønø, Evaxion’s Chief Scientific Officer ...

Gilead Sciences opens a new chapter, publishes the world’s ‘hardest book to read’ to reveal patients stuck in the margins

Depicting the plight of patients with chronic and potentially fatal diseases is always a challenge for pharma companies, but Gilead Sciences has quite literally found a novel way forward.Teaming up with British historian, presenter and writer Professor David Olusoga, OBE, Gilead is launching “From the Margins,” (PDF) in what is intended to be one of the most difficult books to read. That’s because the book has every word printed entirely in the margins of the pages in what Gilead and Prof. Olusoga see as a direct inversion of a normal book. The idea is simple: “To tell the profoundly moving personal stories of marginalized people living with HIV, Hepatitis C and cancer,” according to a statement sent to Fierce Pharma Marketing. Gilead markets drugs for all three diseases. The book is specific to Britain and being run to “to raise awareness of the issue of marginalization and health inequality in ...

BMS Accused by HMO of Patent Fraud to Allegedly Sustain Pomalyst Monopoly

By Tristan Manalac Pictured: BMS office in California/iStock, hapabapaBlue Cross and Blue Shield of Louisiana on Tuesday filed a class action lawsuit against Bristol Myers Squibb, accusing the pharma giant of unlawfully extending the market exclusivity for its multiple myeloma drug Pomalyst (pomalidomide), according to Reuters. The Baton Rouge-based health maintenance organization is being joined by HMO Louisiana, a subsidiary of Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Louisiana. The plaintiffs are representing a proposed class of entities in the U.S. and its territories that paid for or reimbursed Pomalyst from October 2020. In the 151-page complaint, the not-for-profit health insurance company alleged that BMS and its subsidiary Celgene committed patent fraud by misrepresenting and concealing data regarding Pomalyst’s properties, formulations and uses that had already been publicly available. The pharma companies also “abused the federal judicial system” by launching a barrage of “sham lawsuits” against generics companies that were trying ...
