Cancer cells are different from normal cells in that they can avoid a naturally programmed cell death process known as apoptosis and grow almost indefinitely. In their third collaboration, Boehringer Ingelheim and Vanderbilt University have their eyes on a target that helps cancer cells evade death.
Healthcare providers are increasingly looking to EHRs and third-party population health management solutions to help them with value-based care.
A study released in October 2017 found EHR (electronic health records) use has been listed as a contributing factor to patient injury at an increased rate over the past decade. Poorly-designed EHR systems combined with human error have resulted in patient safety problems in an increasing number of malpractice claims from 2007-2016.
Computers and workstations on wheels (WoWs) were designed to help clinicians spend less time working from nursing-station desktops and more time at the point of care. The reality, however, is that the ideal has yet to be fully realized. All too often care team workflows remain fragmented because of the need to access patient data and clinical information from multiple disparate systems.
Boehringer Ingelheim has initiated GioTag, a real-world study to assess the impact of sequential therapy in patients with EGFR mutation-positive (M+) advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Data from approximately 190 patients who received tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) – afatinib* in first-line, followed by second-line osimertinib**as part of standard clinical practice – will be analysed to determine total time on treatment.
Boehringer Ingelheim has won its first biosimilar approval in Europe with authorisation of Cyltezo for a range of chronic inflammatory conditions, including rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis.
Dicerna Pharmaceuticals and Boehringer Ingelheim today announced a research collaboration and license agreement to discover and develop novel RNAi therapeutics for the treatment of chronic liver diseases. Dicerna can get up to $201 million in upfront and success-based development and commercialization milestones for an undisclosed target.
Boehringer Ingelheim has reason to believe its diabetes medication Jardiance can help fend off cardiovascular death, kidney failure and hospitalization for heart failure. And now, it’s developing a model to help predict which patients are best suited for treatment with the therapy.
Germany based Boehringer Ingelheim has committed up to €250 million ($300 million) to work with Gubra on obesity treatments. As per the deal, Boehringer can access Gubra’s expertise in the design, synthesis and preclinical testing of therapeutic peptides.
