Adcom will hear FDA’s issues with Lynparza to treat prostate cancer

April 27, 2023
By Lee Landenberger
The U.S. FDA’s Oncologic Drugs Advisory Committee meets April 28 to discuss the future of Astrazeneca plc and Merck & Co. Inc.’s supplemental NDA for Lynparza (olaparib) for an expanded label to treat prostate cancer. It has a few bones to pick. The FDA said it is concerned that the efficacy and safety have not been demonstrated outside of the small population of patients with tumor BRCA mutations and that the addition of olaparib to abiraterone may cause harm in patients who are definitively negative for tumor BRCA mutations.

US government agencies to tighten focus on bias in artificial intelligence

April 26, 2023
By Mark McCarty
Four U.S. government agencies have issued an advisory regarding bias in the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and other automated systems, the scope of which includes software products that “make decisions.” The four agencies have pledged to use their enforcement powers to “protect individuals’ rights regardless of whether legal violations occur through traditional means or advanced technologies,” all of which sends a signal to developers of medical software that the FDA is not the only federal government agency that will be looking over their shoulder to evaluate the risk of bias in those algorithms.

Medtronic clears 2021 FDA warning letter for Northridge CGM manufacturing site

April 26, 2023
By Mark McCarty
Dublin-based Medtronic plc, and the U.S. FDA have wrapped up their discussion of the December 2021 warning letter for the company’s manufacture of continuous glucose monitors, clearing a hurdle that was critical in restoring the company’s footprint in the U.S. market. Left unanswered from the resolution of the warning letter is whether the FDA believes that device makers need to track the number of devices in distribution vs. those in actual use in order to properly calculate the risk of device failure based on postmarket surveillance.

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.

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.
