Lexeo’s LX-2006 hits rare disease mark; investors not impressed

Interim data from two early stage Friedreich’s ataxia (FA) cardiomyopathy studies from Lexeo Therapeutics Inc. hit the mark by reducing heart muscle thickness, a key cause of death among patients with the rare disease. The results came from the Sunrise-FA phase I/II study and an investigator-initiated phase Ia study of LX-2006, an adeno-associated virus-mediated gene therapy encoding the human frataxin gene. The drug is designed to improve frataxin protein expression to improve mitochondrial cell function. Read More

A bipartisan bill aimed at limiting patent thickets on biologics moved a step closer to law July 11 when the Senate passed it with unanimous consent in an unexpected vote that came more than one-and-a-half years after the Judiciary Committee reported it favorably to the Senate floor.

ISSCR 2024: Expanding niche definition gives insights into stem cells

The word “niche” implies a specialized environment. But to Fiona Doetsch, the stem cell niche is anything but. For brain stem cells, “the whole organism is the niche,” Doetsch told the audience at the third plenary session of the International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) annual meeting in Hamburg this week. It’s a surprising idea at first, given the brain’s protection from many circulating substances via a series of barriers, including the blood-brain barrier and the blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier.

US Medicare program offers pay boost for radiopharmaceuticals

The U.S. Medicare outpatient draft for 2025 is rich with applications for pass-through payment, but the draft also would boost payment for radiopharmaceuticals, a proposal that drew the applause of industry and physicians alike.
