Deerfield Agency names Sam Cannizzaro as first chief creative officer

Deerfield Agency has named its first chief creative officer. Sam Cannizzaro has ended a two-year stint at Elevate Healthcare Marketing to take up the position at a fast-growing agency that is carving out a niche serving small to midsize pharmaceutical companies. Pennsylvania-based Deerfield is a full-service agency specializing in healthcare. Last year, the acquisition of Verge Scientific, a company that supports brand strategy and public relations, helped the agency to grow its sales by 40% and increase its headcount from 88 to 141. Deerfield has navigated its rise without a chief creative officer. Now, Deerfield is filling that gap by hiring Cannizzaro, a person whose CV features highlights related to the initiation of omnichannel campaigns, work on telehealth solutions and immersive technologies, use of voice-based health assistants and launch of AstraZeneca’s first digital detailing solutions. In a statement, Frank Burrell, managing partner at Deerfield, said Cannizzaro will “lead creative visioning ...

Midterm report on 2025 network strategy highlights good progress during critical period of the pandemic

The European medicines regulatory network is on track to meet its strategic goals and objectives covering availability and accessibility of medicines; data analytics, digital tools, and digital transformation; innovation; antimicrobial resistance and other emerging health threats; supply-chain challenges; sustainability of the network and operational excellence, according to the midterm report of the network strategy. “Despite the unprecedented challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic and the resource that has been deployed across the medicines regulatory network in response, a lot of progress has been made in the six priority focus areas of our network strategy,” says Emer Cooke, EMA’s Executive Director. “The end of the public health emergency and the lifting of the business continuity planning means we will once again be in a position to focus more fully on delivering patient-relevant medicines and digital transformation while continuing to deal with health threats and supply issues.” The network strategy was published ...

Apple to pause US sales of smartwatches with pulse oximetry

Dive Brief Apple will pause selling models of the Apple Watch in the U.S. that have blood oxygen monitoring functions, beginning this week, the company told the website 9to5Mac. The move comes nearly two months after the U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC) ordered Apple to stop importing and selling its watches with the pulse oximetry feature in response to a patent infringement complaint brought by patient monitoring company Masimo. Apple, in a statement carried by 9to5Mac, said that it was “preemptively” taking steps to comply with the USITC ruling while it awaits the outcome of a presidential review of the order. The time period for President Joe Biden to review the decision is set to expire on Dec. 25. Dive Insight Masimo, which sells a competing medical watch, accused the tech giant of stealing its trade secrets and incorporating its patented technology for measuring blood oxygen saturation into some Apple ...

Accurate Blood Markers for Identifying AKI Could Eliminate Need for Invasive Kidney Biopsies

Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) is a condition characterized by intense inflammation, leading to sudden kidney function loss. AKI affects an estimated 15% to 20% of hospitalized patients, increasing their risk of in-hospital death and possibly leading to chronic kidney disease requiring dialysis or transplant. Clinicians have long sought markers to detect AKI without resorting to invasive kidney biopsies. Now, researchers have used cells from kidney biopsies to make progress in the search for more accurate and easier-to-obtain markers that can predict, manage, and assess the treatment of AKI. This new study by investigators at Johns Hopkins University (Baltimore, MD, USA) focused on noninvasive assessments of what is termed maladaptive proximal tubule (PT) repair, a process that occurs in response to AKI and is marked by excessive inflammation. This PT maladaptation process offers an opportunity to identify noninvasive markers in blood or urine that could greatly aid in predicting AKI, managing ...

GSK Expands Again in Cancer, Paying Hansoh $185M for Another ADC

GSK gains rights to a Hansoh Pharma antibody drug conjugate that targets a protein abundant on lung cancer cells and other types of solid tumors. The pharmaceutical giant plans to start its own slate of clinical trials with this ADC in 2024. By FRANK VINLUAN GSK’s cancer drug pipeline is getting bigger with the addition of another antibody drug conjugate, or ADC. It’s the second time in as many months that GSK has turned to Hansoh Pharma for one of the China-based biotech’s drugs. Per deal terms announced Wednesday, GSK is paying $185 million up front for rights to HS-20093, a Hansoh ADC that has been tested in lung cancer. GSK gains global rights to the drug candidate excluding mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan. ADCs are made by chemically linking an antibody to a toxic drug payload. The targeting ability of the antibody is meant to provide a ...

Calliditas wins over FDA for full approval, broader label on kidney disease drug Tarpeyo

Two years after securing an accelerated approval for its primary immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) therapy Tarpeyo (budesonide), Calliditas Therapeutics has scored a full FDA endorsement for the oral, delayed-release drug. Tarpeyo becomes the first treatment fully approved in the United States specifically for the chronic autoimmune kidney condition, also known as Berger’s disease. While some graduations from accelerated to full approval are ceremonial, this endorsement carries extra weight as it expands the label for Tarpeyo, allowing it to be accessed by all patients with IgAN. Perviously, the FDA limited the med’s use to those at risk for rapid disease progression. The expansion was facilitated by a confirmatory trial, which was the first phase 3 IgAN study to show significant improvement in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), which is the most reliable measure of kidney function. The results showed that Tarpeyo can reduce the time to kidney failure by 30%, potentially ...

Palatin sells female libido drug Vyleesi to Cosette for $12M, plus more in potential milestones

In 2020, Palatin Technologies paid $12 million to regain the rights in North America to its struggling female libido drug Vyleesi. Three years later, the New Jersey company has sold the treatment for the same up-front figure—$12 million—in a deal that indicates the medicine is unlikely to ever make a significant impact in the market. The new buyer for Vyleesi, which was approved by the FDA in 2019, is another New Jersey drugmaker, Cosette Pharmaceuticals, which also is on the hook for $159 million in contingent, sales-based milestones. As one of two drugs hailed to potentially become the “female Viagra,” Vyleesi has not lived up to expectations. In September, when Palatin revealed its quarterly earnings, it reported fiscal-year sales of $12.5 million, compared to $5.8 million in the previous fiscal year. While Palatin CEO Carl Spana, Ph.D., said in a release that he was “excited” that Vyleesi’s net product revenue ...

The clinical Phase III study results of the BIO-THERA Tocilizumab biosimilar, TOFIDENCE™, have been published in The Lancet Rheumatology.

The clinical Phase III study results of the BIO-THERA Tocilizumab biosimilar, TOFIDENCE™ (BAT1806/BIIB800), have been published in the prestigious international rheumatology journal, The Lancet Rheumatology (impact factor IF = 25.4). This research, derived from a global multicenter, randomized, double-blind, active-controlled Phase III clinical study (ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03830203; EudraCT, 2018-002202-31), reveals outcomes from the initial treatment phase (TP1). The study, conducted in 54 centers across five countries (China, Ukraine, Poland, Georgia, Bulgaria), included a 24-week initial treatment phase (TP1) followed by a subsequent 24-week secondary treatment phase (TP2). A total of 621 patients with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis, unresponsive to methotrexate, were enrolled. During the trial, participants received investigational drug therapy with an initial dose of 8mg/kg, administered intravenously every four weeks, either BAT1806/BIIB800 or the reference Tocilizumab. The study consisted of two treatment stages (TP1 and TP2), with 50% of the control group transitioning to BAT1806/BIIB800 treatment in TP2 until ...
