Research hospitals push AI beyond pattern recognition

Information technology has been promising for decades, largely since the advent of electronic medical records, to improve and streamline health care as it has multiplied productivity in countless other industries. In addition to the long-standing problems with EMRs, more recently there have been early disappointments with the latest iteration of IT focused on artificial intelligence and machine learning, as big players like IBM Watson and Google have tended to over-promise and under-deliver with algorithms that are poorly matched to the data or the patient need.

Supreme Court's Alice decision leaves drug, device firms in AI wonderland

The U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Alice earlier this decade has closed the door on many drug and device patents involving artificial intelligence, as such claims are likely to be dismissed as abstract ideas, which means they can't get through what's become the patent eligibility rabbit hole of Section 101 of the Patent Act.

Generic approvals up 28% amid drug pricing concerns

Efforts to lower drug prices have led to a steady increase in FDA approvals of abbreviated new drug applications (ANDAs), including first-time generics. With 73 approvals currently, and a projected 109 by the end of the year, the number of first-time generic approvals has risen 49% since 2016. When looking at approvals of all abbreviated new drug applications, including tentative approvals, the FDA has given its seal to nearly 28% more than it did three years ago. Read More

Bench Press: BioWorld looks at translational medicine

TRK inhibitors, like essentially all targeted therapies, are vulnerable to resistance mutations, and several resistance mutations to Vitrakvi and the recently approved Rozlytrek have been described. The most common form of resistance to targeted therapies, and the only mechanisms that have been described for TRK inhibitors to date, are due to mutations in the target itself. Now, researchers at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center have described resistance to TRK inhibitors that occurred due to activation of the MAP kinase (MAPK) pathway.  Read More
