SFDA approves Amarin’s VASCEPA to reduce CV risk in Saudi Arabia

The Saudi Food and Drug Authority (SFDA) has granted approval to Amarin’s VASCEPA (icosapent ethyl) capsules for reducing cardiovascular (CV) risk. VASCEPA is indicated as an adjunct to statin therapy for use in adult patients with elevated levels of triglycerides (TG). This means levels greater than or equal to 150 mg/dL. It has also been approved for use in patients at increased risk of CV events caused by at least one other CV disease risk factor and established CV disease, or who have diabetes mellitus. The therapy is the first and only medicine to receive approval from the regulator to reduce CV risk beyond cholesterol-lowering therapy in patients on high-risk statin treatment and who have increased TG levels. Amarin stated that the country’s National Heart Center (NHC) and the Saudi National Diabetes Center (SNDC) have mentioned icosapent ethyl (IPE) as an adjunct to statin therapy for CV risk reduction in ...

Philips gets slapped with two legal challenges by French patients in ‘Respiratorgate’

Dive Brief A lawyer has filed civil and criminal complaints against Philips in France over its recalled respiratory medical devices. The civil complaint covers 1,341 claimants who are seeking compensation for non-material damages tied to Philips’ failure to inform them of the danger the devices may present and for “anxiety-related harm.” A related criminal complaint was lodged by 215 people who accuse Philips of endangering the lives of others, aggravated deception and administration of harmful substances. Dive Insight France has emerged as a hotspot for action against Philips. Last year, the French device regulator ordered Philips to repair or replace all of its recalled respiratory devices by the end of 2022. When Philips missed the deadline, the agency applied more pressure to the company and referred the case to a prosecutor who could bring criminal proceedings. In parallel, lawyers behind a collective legal action platform have been preparing cases against ...

Ketone supplements used by some athletes may worsen performance

Kinesiologists at McMaster University have found ketone supplements, used by some athletes hoping to cross the finish line faster, may in fact worsen performance. The new study, published in the latest print edition of the International Journal of Sport Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism, tackles contradictory research findings related to the effectiveness of ketone supplements, which have gained popularity among athletes seeking a competitive advantage. Some previously published studies had shown the supplements improve performance, while others have reported they had no effect or even worsened performance. Natural ketones can serve as fuels for the brain and muscles. A ketogenic diet –characterized by very low carbohydrate and typically high fat intake – causes the body to produce more organic ketone compounds and increase their use for energy. Ketone supplements speed up that process, without the strict diet. One of the main perceived benefits is that ketones may serve as an alternative ...

Study finds that the human brain reactivates mental representations of past events during new experiences

Neuroscience studies have showed that as mice and other rodents navigate a maze, their brain often “replays” relevant past events. This mental replaying of events, such as the route taken until reaching their current position, could help rodents create a mental map of the spatial environment, and understand their position in it. Researchers at University College London and Queen Mary University of London recently explored the possibility that the human brain also replays past events to make sense of evolving, non-spatial experiences. Their findings, published in Nature Neuroscience, confirms this hypothesis and suggests that the process through which the human brain reactivates these events might be far more complex than that observed in rodents. “We know that the brain can ‘replay’ information that was encountered in the past, although this has mainly been studied in navigation tasks involving rodents,” Avital Hahamy, one of the researchers who carried out the study, ...

Research reveals a potential gap in recommended care for people with obesity and overweight

By being undiagnosed or untreated, a significant fraction of people with obesity or overweight are not getting the recommended care, despite an increase in new treatment options, according to research being presented on June 17 at ENDO 2023, the Endocrine Society’s annual meeting in Chicago, Ill. “The number of people with obesity is high and rising in the adult U.S. population. Obesity is a complex and expensive disease that has been implicated in many chronic conditions including high blood pressure, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases,” said Kyrian Ezendu, Ph.D., an Eli Lilly and Company advisor on benefit-risk research. “Medications to treat obesity are an integral part of long-term care for people with excess weight and are recommended for people with obesity or people with overweight and at least one obesity-related condition.” Ezendu and colleagues used data from linked electronic health records and insurance claims of people ages 18 to 80 years ...

Radioactive iodine or surgery linked to decreased mortality risk in patients with hyperthyroidism

Hyperthyroidism treatment like radioactive iodine or surgery was associated with a decreased risk for death, according to research being presented Saturday at ENDO 2023, the Endocrine Society’s annual meeting in Chicago. Kristien Boelaert (M.D., Ph.D., Professor of Endocrinology, University of Birmingham, United Kingdom) said, “Hyperthyroidism or an overactive thyroid gland is common, affecting up to 3% of the population, and is associated with long-term adverse cardiac and metabolic consequences. The optimal treatment choice remains unclear.” Boelaert and colleagues identified 55,318 patients with newly diagnosed hyperthyroidism, treated with antithyroid drugs (ATD; 77.6%), radioiodine (14.6%), or thyroidectomy (7.8%) from a U.K. population-based electronic health record database for the EGRET Study. They examined all-cause mortality, major cardiovascular events (MACE: cardiovascular death, heart failure, or stroke), and post-treatment obesity. The average follow-up was roughly 12 years. Those treated with antithyroid drugs had an estimated mean survival of 12 years, according to the data. Survival ...

Tessa Therapeutics Hodgkin’s Lymphoma CAR-T therapy shows promising Phase I data

Clinical-stage cell therapy company Tessa Therapeutics have announced positive safety and efficacy data from the trial (NCT04288726 of TT11X, its off-the-shelf CD30.CAR-modified EBVST (Epstein Barr Virus Specific T Cells) therapy in patients with relapsed or refractory (R/R) Hodgkin lymphoma. In tandem with Baylor College of Medicine, Tessa enrolled 18 patients with R/R Hodgkin’s Lymphoma in the trial, all of whom had been heavily pre-treated. Patients were administered with TT11X across four dosing levels, resulting in an overall response rate (ORR) of 78%. Higher doses produced improved clinical response, and no dose-limiting toxicities were observed. Treatment works by utilising highly specialised T-cells able to recognize and kill infected cells, whilst activating the body’s immune system to produce a coordinated response. The company claimed that early trials have demonstrated a strong safety profile and efficacy. TT11X is the lead allogenic cell therapy in Tessa’s planned pipeline of treatments built with its CD30.CAR ...

Race for universal flu vaccine ramps up as Osivax kicks off Phase IIa trial

France-based biotech company Osivax has thrown its hat into the influenza ring by dosing the first subject with its vaccine candidate OVX836. The Phase IIa trial (NCT05734040) in Australia will see a potential 500 volunteers given OVX836 in combination with quadrivalent influenza vaccines (QIVs). The developer has tested OVX836 in four completed clinical trials. In a company statement announcing the latest trial kick-off, Osivax said a recently completed separate Phase IIa trial demonstrated that the candidate in combination with QIVs had a good safety profile with no impairment of immune response by the QIVs. The aim of the latest ongoing trial is to evaluate the vaccine in a larger and more diverse population. The company aims to enrol more than 500 participants aged 18-60 across multiple clinical sites in Australia. The OVX836 vaccine targets nucleoprotein – a conserved internal antigen. Internal antigens, unlike surface antigens, have a lower probability of ...
