On September 9, the House of Representatives of the United States Congress returned from a summer break and immediately scheduled a series of legislative votes, including the draft Biosafety Act (H.R. 8333). The draft biosecurity law passed the House of Representatives with 306 votes in favor and 81 votes against, but the 70% support rate made it the most divisive draft bill in the same batch, and even narrowly fell below the “bottom line” of more than two-thirds of the votes to pass the bill. The draft Biosafety Act places five companies, including WuXi AppTec and WuXi Biologics, on the list of “biotechnology companies of concern” on the grounds of “national security”, and intends to restrict the use of funds, loans or subsidies from the United States government to cooperate with these companies. Unlike previous committees that voted in small groups, this time there were several members of the House ...

Medicare’s physician fee schedule includes billing codes for digital therapeutics for the first time. Stakeholders say these codes could help turn around reimbursement challenges weighing on the entire digital medicines sector. By Frank VinluanWhen the FDA approves a drug, passing that regulatory bar of safety and efficacy puts it on the path toward likely reimbursement by government and commercial payers. The same has not been true for digital therapeutics. A proposal from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services signals a change in federal thinking about such technologies, which could pave the way for broader coverage of novel digital medicines. For the first time, CMS’s proposed physician fee schedule, a comprehensive annual listing of the fees that Medicare uses to pay doctors, now includes digital therapeutics. The proposal does not cover all digital therapeutics under multiple benefit categories, as the Digital Therapeutics Alliance (DTA) had asked nearly a year ago. ...
Iqirvo failed as a treatment for the fatty liver disease MASH, but the drug is now FDA approved in primary biliary cholangitis.
