In Cardiology, AI Enables Me to Deploy Therapy Faster, and Can Make the Difference Between Life and Death

I work as a cardiologist for a multi-specialty group that sees patients both in capitated payer and fee-for-service environments. This diverse practice gives me the experience to know where insurance providers will find value or what they will likely pay for. As these protocols become more scientifically validated, AI is going to help the entire healthcare system to identify at-risk patients quickly and accurately. By DR. JONATHAN A. ALIOTA As a cardiologist, I see this kind of scenario play out on a daily basis. A patient comes in for a routine procedure and a heart murmur is detected. This murmur could have several different diagnoses. While they can be a sign of something more serious, many of the heart murmurs we hear on a routine basis are normal, physiologic murmurs, such as mild mitral regurgitation. In addition, a healthy heart that had too much caffeine and not enough water that ...

FDA concerned Cardinal Health failed to mitigate risk of incompatible syringes

Dive Brief The Food and Drug Administration voiced concerns in a Monday letter that Cardinal Health failed to sufficiently mitigate the risk of incompatibility between its syringes and certain pumps in its communication to healthcare providers. Cardinal wrote to its customers in September to explain that some lots of Monoject Luer-lock tip syringes are incompatible with certain infusion pumps, leading to a Class I recall notice covering the device correction. The recall affects more than 32 million syringes. Days after posting the Class 1 notice, the FDA revised recommendations for healthcare providers. It said the dimensional changes made to Cardinal Health’s Monoject syringes, when used with syringe pumps or patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) pumps, may result in issues that include overdose, underdose, or delays in therapy or occlusion alarms. Dive Insight On Monday, the FDA moved to clarify the advice for healthcare providers in a notice titled “Do Not Use Cardinal ...

EC approves pharmaand’s Rubraca as advanced ovarian cancer maintenance treatment

The European Commission (EC) has approved pharmaand’s (pharma&) Rubraca (rucaparib) as a first-line maintenance treatment for advanced ovarian cancer in patients who have responded to first-line platinum-based chemotherapy. The PARP inhibitor, which has been authorised for use in all advanced ovarian cancer patients regardless of their BRCA mutation status, was previously approved for the maintenance treatment of adults with platinum-sensitive relapsed high-grade epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer who have a complete or partial response to platinum-based chemotherapy. The EC’s latest decision on the drug follows a recent recommendation from the European Medicines Agency’s human medicines committee and was supported by positive results from the late-stage ATHENAMONO trial. Results showed that, as a first-line maintenance treatment, Rubraca significantly improved investigator- assessed progression-free survival compared with placebo in advanced ovarian cancer patients, regardless of BRCA mutation status. The safety profile observed in the ATHENAMONO trial was also consistent with ...

The Impact of US Drug Shortages on the Supply Chain

Nicholas Saraceno IQVIA report explores why these shortages are increasing, and how they can be mitigated. Image Credit: Adobe Stock Images/Julia Drug shortages are an issue that continue to grow in news coverage, due to their impact on patient care and public health. Data suggests that the amount of drug shortages in the US is increasing as more shortages continue to be reported than resolved. As a report by IQVIA titled Drug Shortages in the US 2023: A Closer Look at Volume and Price Dynamics1suggests, stakeholders have suggested various tactics to mitigate shortages, including prioritizing essential medicines, stockpiling, and making changes to reimbursement or statutory rebates. Shortages appear to be driven by a variety of causes that need to be better understood, as they may impact which solutions will best address them. This aforementioned report assesses shortages reported by the FDA, alongside sales and volume data of these medicines in ...

What One Medicaid Insurer Looks for From Potential Health Tech Vendors

Digital health companies often start in the commercial market and thereafter target Medicaid plans. But not all startups are suited to serve the Medicaid population, according to Dr. Pooja Mittal, vice president and chief health equity officer at Health Net. That’s why Health Net created a vetting process to understand which companies have the potential to be the most effective with Medicaid members. The California-based insurer offers health plans for individuals, families and businesses and has three million members, including those who qualify for Medi-Cal or Medicare. Mittal noted that when the company started bringing in new vendors about four or five years ago, some were very successful working with its Medicaid population, while others struggled with engagement. “What we realized was that there were a lot of companies that didn’t have experience in the Medicaid space that were trying to enter into that space without a good understanding of ...

Stem-cell-derived brain cells hold promise for Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s research

Researchers at the University of Wisconsin–Madison have identified a protein key to the development of a type of brain cell believed to play a role in disorders like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases and used the discovery to grow the neurons from stem cells for the first time. The stem-cell-derived norepinephrine neurons of the type found in a part of the human brain called the locus coeruleus may enable research into many psychiatric and neurodegenerative diseases and provide a tool for developing new ways to treat them. Yunlong Tao, an investigator at Nanjing University in China who was a research professor at UW–Madison’s Waisman Center when the study was performed, and Su-Chun Zhang, a UW–Madison professor of neuroscience and neurology, published their work on the cells, which they call LC-NE neurons, today in the journal Nature Biotechnology. Norepinephrine neurons in the locus coeruleus regulate heartbeat, blood pressure, arousal, memory, attention and ...

Almirall and Absci announce $650m AI drug discovery partnership for dermatological diseases

Almirall and Absci have announced a drug discovery partnership aimed at developing and commercialising artificial intelligence (AI)-designed treatments for dermatological diseases, with the deal worth over $650m. The collaboration will combine Almirall’s dermatological capabilities with Absci’s Integrated Drug Creation platform, which the generative AI company says “unlocks the potential to accelerate time to clinic and increase the probability of success by simultaneously optimising multiple drug characteristics important to both development and therapeutic benefit”. Under the terms of the agreement, Absci will apply its de novo generative AI technology to create and commercialise therapeutic candidates for two dermatological targets. In addition to product royalties, Absci is eligible to receive up to approximately $650m in upfront fees, research and development (R&D) and post-approval milestone payments across the two programmes if all milestones are successfully completed. Dr Karl Ziegelbauer, Almirall’s executive vice president of R&D and chief scientific officer, said: “Almirall chose Absci ...

Novo Nordisk fights back at Lilly with Wegovy combo trial against Zepbound in obesity

In response to an onslaught from Eli Lilly, Novo Nordisk is escalating the obesity market battle with a new head-to-head trial against its archrival.Novo has unveiled a new phase 3 trial pitting CagriSema, a fixed-dose combination of Wegovy and the investigational drug cagrilintide, against Lilly’s Zepbound in people with obesity, according to a clinicaltrials.gov entry. The study plans to enroll 800 patients, and those with diabetes are excluded. Its primary goal is to evaluate how well the two companies’ therapies could help people lose weight relative to each other after 72 weeks of treatment.In addition, the trial will measure the number of patients in each arm who’ve achieved at least 25% or 30% weight reduction at the end of treatment. Other secondary endpoints include changes in cholesterol levels, triglycerides, waist circumference, systolic blood pressure and serious side effects. The Novo trial comes about seven months after Lilly launched a head-to-head phase 3 study testing Zepbound—also known ...
