No political divide in frustration over CMS Alzheimer’s coverage

April 26, 2023
By Mari Serebrov
U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Administrator Chiquita Brooks-LaSure made her first appearance April 26 before the House Energy and Commerce’s Subcommittee on Health, ostensibly to discuss legislative solutions to increase transparency and competition in health care. But member after member, regardless of political party, demanded answers about why CMS continues to severely restrict access to Eisai Co. Ltd.’s Alzheimer’s drug, Leqembi (lecanemab), especially since another government agency is covering it for all veterans that meet the labeling requirements.

Pharma groups: EC’s revised regulations could harm industry, innovation

April 26, 2023
By Nuala Moran
The industry has hit out at the European Commission’s proposals for new pharmaceuticals regulations, saying they risk “sabotaging” life sciences in Europe. “Today’s proposals manage to undermine research and development in Europe while failing to address access to medicines for patients,” said Nathalie Moll, director general of the European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations.

Biogen’s ALS drug is approved, but there’s more to come

April 26, 2023
By Lee Landenberger
Despite the approval of Biogen Inc.’s Qalsody (tofersen) for treating amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), there are still hurdles for the drug to clear, including a confirmatory study and setting a price. Because the U.S. FDA granted Qalsody accelerated, not full approval, there are plenty more data to collect in the ongoing confirmatory phase III Atlas study of those who develop ALS symptoms during the trial compared to placebo. The randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study is being conducted with those carrying the superoxide dismutase 1 gene genetic mutation but are symptom free.

Little support seen for AI as inventor at US PTO

April 26, 2023
By Mark McCarty
The U.S. Supreme Court has declined to hear a case that tests the notion that artificial intelligence (AI) can be an inventor, a development that may be nothing more than the beginning of the AI-as-inventor story under U.S. law. The Patent and Trademark Office’s (PTO) April 25 webinar on the subject included some remarks that AI could be used to produce a tsunami of potentially duplicative patent applications, but the event demonstrated that there is almost no at-large support for AI-as-inventor, suggesting that the status quo will stand for the time being.

Uncertainty, then approval for Biogen’s ALS drug

April 25, 2023
By Lee Landenberger
A twisted, uncertain path has led to a U.S. FDA approval for Biogen Inc.’s Qalsody (tofersen), the first drug targeting a genetic cause of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Qalsody is for ALS associated with a mutation in the superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) gene. Patients with SOD-1 mutations account for 2% of ALS cases.

US FDA turns to patients to deepen understanding of long COVID

April 25, 2023
By Mari Serebrov
As it requested, the U.S. FDA got an earful April 25 as people with long COVID and their caregivers shared their experiences with the condition that has no approved, or even authorized, treatment and is not that well understood, given its range of symptoms that vary from person to person.
