Understanding Payer Perceptions

Tasmina Hydery, PharmD With competition for follow-on-biologics on the upswing—and a potential market boom perhaps around the corner—continued education and course-setting for all stakeholders in charting the access landscape is paramount. Tasmina Hydery, PharmD, Associate Director, Market Access and Healthcare Consulting, Cencora Headlined by the launch of nine biosimilars for Humira (adalimumab), the biosimilars market landscape in the US has undergone a significant shift in the last 18 months. The rapid pace of progress—including the emergence of pharmacy-benefit biosimilars—reflects the investment in this space and the growth forecasted over the next half-decade, when the market could reach more than $100 billion.1 Driven by a robust pipeline of products in preclinical and clinical development, the biosimilars market is poised to continue its upward growth trajectory and expand into new therapeutic areas; however, challenges remain. The adoption of adalimumab biosimilars, thus far, remains low and underscores some of the challenges biosimilar manufacturers ...

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, ...

Avoiding the Digital Age is Hurting Research Efforts

Mike Hollan Pharmaceutical ExecutivePharmaceutical Executive: May 2024 Mike Hollan, Assistant Managing Editor, Pharmaceutical Executive When it comes to developing new drugs and therapies, there is obviously nothing more important than data. Countless bits of data are collected for each medication before it hits the market, and researchers continue to collect data after that. Even before the modern technology boom, data was a key component of the life sciences industry. In the modern world, data is more valuable than ever. New technologies, such as AI and machine learning algorithms, are capable or collecting, sorting, and analyzing bits of data at a faster rate than ever before. Researchers across almost every industry are seeing the benefits and discovering new ways to innovate based on these discoveries. In the life sciences industry, this data is being used for everything from drug development, market analysis, and even scheduling sales reps calls. It’s undeniable that ...

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. RAPT ended Q1 with $141.6m in cash reserves and a net loss of $30.5m. Rapt’s market cap ...

Sanofi signs $1.2bn licensing agreement for Novavax’s Covid-19 vaccine

Sanofi has signed a $1.2bn licensing agreement with Novavax to co-commercialise its stand-alone adjuvanted Covid-19 vaccine. Starting in 2025, the drugmaker will co-commercialise the vaccine worldwide, except for in countries such as India, South Korea, and Japan where Novavax already has existing partnerships in place. As per the “co-exclusive” agreement, Sanofi will also support certain R&D, regulatory, and commercial expenses. The American vaccine company has faced tough times in the post-Covid-19 landscape, going as far as to issue a “going concern” warning in 2023 about its ability to continue operating. At the time, Novavax said it was subject to “significant uncertainty” concerning future sales and funding from the US Government. Following the deal with Sanofi, the removal of this warning was noted in Novavax’s first quarter 2024 financial results and operational highlights released today. Novavax CEO John Jacobs told CNBC that the agreement with Sanofi would allow it to lift ...
