Medicare Fund Prepayment System Introduced, Benefiting Pharmaceutical Sector; Pharmaceutical Stocks Surge

Recently, the National Healthcare Security Administration (NHSA) and the Ministry of Finance released a notice titled “Notice on Effectively Implementing Medicare Fund Prepayment Work” (hereinafter referred to as “the Notice”). This initiative supports certain regions in further improving the management methods for prepayment funds, aiming to alleviate the financial burden of medical expenses for designated medical institutions. It incentivizes these institutions to provide better healthcare services to insured individuals. The announcement led to a significant surge in pharmaceutical stocks yesterday. By the close of trading, companies such as Changyao Holdings, Weikang Pharmaceutical, Guangzheng Ophthalmology, and Wanbangde had hit their daily limit, while Lukang Pharmaceutical and Purui Ophthalmology also saw substantial gains. It’s noteworthy that the stocks that surged included a variety of sectors, spanning specialized hospitals and pharmaceutical companies. The CSI Medical Index rose by 1.2%, the CSI 300 Medical and Health Index increased by 0.97%, and the CSI Innovative ...

Theramex’s Eladynos recommended by NICE for post-menopausal bone disease

Osteoporosis currently affects 3.8 million people in the UK, particularly impacting older women after menopause Theramex’s Eladynos (abaloparatide) has been recommended by the National Institute for Health Care and Research (NICE) for treating bone disease after menopause. More than 14,000 people in the UK seek treatment for osteoporosis after menopause, and these patients will benefit from the drug (if there is a very high risk of fracture) once it becomes available in England on the NHS in three months’ time. Osteoporosis is a bone disease that affects 3.8 million people in the UK. It develops when bone mineral density and bone mass decrease, or when the quality or structure of bone changes, leading to a decrease in bone strength that can increase the risk of broken bones or fractures. The disease particularly affects older women after menopause, as oestrogen, the hormone important for maintaining bone density and strength, decreases and ...

Nature publishes new research on genetic causes of colorectal cancer

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer globally, with more than 44,000 new cases of the disease diagnosed in the UK every year. Now a study led by the Institute of Cancer Research (ICR), the University of Oxford and the University of Manchester has revealed previously unknown genetic causes of (CRC). The new research, published in Nature, offers a novel view of the genetic landscape of CRC and treatment responses. Led by Genomics England and NHS England, researchers analysed 2,023 bowel cancers from the 100,000 Genomes Project to identify new gene faults that lead to CRC. The research uncovered new CRC cancer sub-groups with specific genetic characteristics that affect how cancer behaves and responds to treatment. Commenting on the findings, co-lead researcher and ICR’s professor of cancer genomics, Richard Houlston, said: “This research is a great insight into the biology of CRC, uncovering the clues as to ...

Study identifies new disease-inducing mechanism for inflammatory bowel disease

Researchers from Newcastle University, Great North Children’s Hospital, Cambridge University Hospital and the universities of Cambridge and Oxford have identified a new disease-inducing mechanism for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The study published in the New England Journal of Medicine found that self-directed antibodies attacked interleukin-10 (IL10), an anti-inflammatory protein that controls intestinal immunity, in two patients with early-onset severe IBD. Collectively known as IBD, Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis are incurable conditions that involve excessive inflammation in the gut and affect over 500,000 people in the UK, according to Crohn’s & Colitis UK. Supported by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR), Cambridge Biomedical Research Centre, NIHR Oxford BRC and the Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust, and part-funded by the Wellcome Trust, scientists discovered that these antibodies prevented IL10 from binding to its receptor, ultimately causing an increased inflammatory response in patients. The team found ...

Study suggests COVID-19 vaccination lowers incidence of arterial thromboses

Researchers from the Universities of Cambridge, Bristol and Edinburgh have suggested that COVID-19 vaccinations could lower the incidence of arterial thromboses. The study, published in Nature Communications, was supported by the British Heart Foundation (BHF) Data Science Centre at Health Data Research UK. Researchers analysed the de-identified health records of 46 million adults from GP practices, hospital admissions and death records in England between December 2020 and January 2022, provided by NHS England. The team compared the incidence of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) following COVID-19 vaccination with the incidence before or without vaccination during the first two years of the vaccination programme. CVD affects around seven million people in the UK and is a significant cause of disability and death. Overall, the study revealed that the incidence of arterial thromboses, such as heart attacks and strokes, which affect 200,000 people in the UK every year combined, was up to 10% lower ...

CRISPR-based Casgevy is made accessible in England following NICE guidance

Following positive guidance issued by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), the CRISPR-based gene therapy Casgevy has been made available to patients with transfusion-dependent beta thalassemia (TDT) in England. Today (8 August), NICE released their final draft guidance recommending Casgevy coverage via the NHS. Casgevy was developed by Vertex Pharmaceuticals and CRISPR Therapeutics. The recommendation concerns patients aged 12 and older with severe beta-thalassemia needing blood transfusion, for whom blood and bone marrow transplant is suitable, but no matching donor is available. Consequently, Vertex announced a reimbursement agreement with NHS England making the treatment available beginning today. Casgevy will be accessible through the Innovative Medicines Fund for up to 460 eligible patients, as per NICE. The NICE decision came after an independent committee heard statements on how TDT impacts the lives of patients. TDT is a life-threatening inherited disease in which genetic mutation reduces or prevents production ...
