Stories making headlines today in the biopharma industry: Merck's CMO, Eliav Barr, has declared the organization's intention to magnify its immunology pipeline through further deals, specifically focusing on cardiometabolic drugs and immunology. In other news, GSK has pledged to purchase Aiolos Bio, a clinical-stage asthma drugmaker, for a hefty $1.4 billion. This development has facilitated one of the swiftest startup reveal-to-acquisition journeys in biotech history, as Aiolos Bio was only unveiled three months ago, bolstered by the backing of a number of renowned investors. Meanwhile, rumors indicating a possible acquisition of the biotechnology company Cytokinetics by Novartis have been downplayed by the latter's CEO, Vas Narasimhan. In an interview with CNBC, he emphasized Novartis' focus on smaller, "$5 billion or less" assets, debunking the alleged buyout speculation. On another note, radiopharma firm Lantheus has initiated collaboration with Perspective Therapeutics, investing $28M upfront to secure an exclusive licensing deal directed towards an alpha-targeted therapy for neuroendocrine tumors. This move is set to extend its hand even further in the radiopharma sphere and solidify its presence in this field. #pharma #biotech #topstories #biodatastudio

Interesting set of questions and discussion on life sciences. I think there is a lot of debate on the low success rate and do preclinical data/models translate well. In oncology, at least, I actually think they do so well if you are really careful in mapping PK-PD-efficacy relationships from in vitro to in vivo to tox models and the Ph1 data. If there was only 50% TGI, as lots of drugs show, that actually isn't good prognosis for clinical monotherapy. The model hasn't failed if the human data fails to show RECIST response in humans. Also, the models are frequently selected for a best case subset which an all comers advanced does not really represent. https://lnkd.in/eSSeSs9a

Stories making headlines today in the biopharma industry: Acorda Therapeutics, a renowned biotech company, has declared bankruptcy amidst legal and financial difficulties since 2017. The company has decided to sell off its assets, including a proprietary Multiple Sclerosis drug, to Merz Therapeutics for a sum of $185 million. In other sector news, Roivant has shared uplifting results from their Phase 2 eye disease drug trial, conducted in partnership with pharmaceutical giant Pfizer. Capitalizing on this success, Roivant is launching an unprecedented $1.5 billion share buyback program. However, contrasting fortunes struck Gritstone as its Phase 2 study for a novel cancer vaccine delivered mixed results, leading to a significant drop in its stock value. Despite the recent upset, Gritstone remains optimistic and is committed to moving forward with public stock offerings and advanced Phase 3 trials. Meanwhile, Praia Health, a healthcare startup pioneering in improving patient engagement with healthcare systems, managed to secure $20 million in a recent Series A funding round. The promising venture seeks to leverage this substantial capital influx to develop groundbreaking products that seamlessly connect consumers with vital healthcare services. In the corporate world, Zymeworks revealed the removal of CFO Christopher Astle, with CEO Kenneth Galbraith set to fill the position on a temporary basis. Concurrently, Gilead confirmed the expansion of its existing deal with Nurix. Lastly, Verve Therapeutics has decided to hit pause on its leading gene editing program following an adverse safety event. In its pursuit of safety and proficiency, the firm plans to shift gears towards a similar program that employs a different type of lipid delivery mechanism. #pharma #biotech #topstories #biodatastudio

Another name to add to the AI in drug discovery watchlist: Xaira Therapeutics. The headlines rightly focus on the big (ok, really big - $1 billion) money and names behind this new "powerhouse". As yet, I can't find any solid details on its therapeutic areas or targets of interest, only that it plans to advance unspecified “multiple” drug programs. However, the company is advertising for a Head of Immunology and Inflammatory Diseases and a Head of Oncology. The source of its training data is also unclear at this stage. These are exciting times in the AI in drug discovery field with publication of preclinical and clinical models of INS018_055, a small-molecule TNIK inhibitor developed by by Insilico Medicine (https://lnkd.in/exdPgPND). The candidate has moved into Phase II trials. Exscientia is also making progress in the clinic with a CDK7 inhibitor currently in a Phase 1/2 clinical trial. The company anticipates initiating a Phase 1 patient study this year for its LSD1 inhibitor and continuing to progress its MALT1 inhibitor through IND-enabling studies this year. It certainly feels like the future of drug discovery is here. #drugdiscovery #AI #pharma https://lnkd.in/eci7ZcGk
