By Conor Hale Developers from the University of Tokyo said the approach could lead to a non-contact screening method, as the conditions subtly alter blood flow in the face and hands. |
By Gabrielle Masson Regenxbio’s investigational gene therapy improved muscle function for patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy in a phase 1/2 study. After discussions with the FDA, the biotech has launched a pivotal study and plans on filing for accelerated approval in 2026. |
By Kevin Dunleavy Just three days after Syndax Pharmaceuticals revealed data from a trial of revumenib in one indication of acute leukemia which chilled investors, the FDA has approved the small molecule in another indication of the disease. |
By Darren Incorvaia After failing to impress investors a year ago with an initial look at phase 2 data of a psilocybin-derived compound in major depressive disorder (MDD), Cybin momentarily boosted their spirits with a longer-term analysis. Twelve months after two 16 mg doses of the drug, called CYB003, seven patients saw their scores improve on the Montgomery–Åsberg Depression Rating Scale. |
By Conor Hale When treating heart attack survivors, a study found that undergoing ablation before taking antiarrhythmic therapies may be the better option for people who have developed a dangerous heart rhythm. |
By Gabrielle Masson Novartis is adding another radiopharmaceutical program to its collection, penning a deal worth $745 million in biobucks for rights to a cancer candidate from Ratio Therapeutics. |
By Andrea Park Many patients with rheumatic diseases refrain from telling their doctors about all physical and emotional symptoms they’re experiencing, potentially leading to less effective care. That’s according to a recent survey commissioned by AbbVie and comprising more than 400 U.S. adults with rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis and axial spondyloarthritis. |
By Andrea Park AbbVie, the maker of three migraine treatment options, launched a contest this year to provide support for people whose migraines create obstacles in reaching their educational and career goals. |
By Fraiser Kansteiner Eisai has terminated a phase 3 study of lorcaserin as a potential adjunct treatment for patients with Dravet syndrome, a rare form of epilepsy that starts in infancy. The company is also shutting down an extended access program in which patients were able to access the medication off-label. |
By Nick Paul Taylor Neurogene has dropped plans to keep studying the high dose of its Rett syndrome gene therapy because of an adverse event that has left a patient in critical condition. The discontinuation has pushed back the anticipated completion of enrollment in the low-dose cohort. |
By Fraiser Kansteiner Sanofi has unveiled a 40 million euro investment at its Lyon Gerland biomanufacturing site in France. The cash infusion will help bolster local production of the company’s polyclonal antibody Thymoglubulin for kidney transplant rejection, as well as expected future capacity needs for the type 1 diabetes drug Tzield. |
