🚀 Is the Longevity Space on the Cusp of a Breakthrough? Much like GLP-1 agonists transformed obesity treatment after years of being overlooked in diabetes, we’re seeing similar momentum build in the longevity space with new modalities as well as repurposed drugs (think rapamycin and metformin). But are regulators and payers ready for this next leap? Here’s the challenge: While the biological promise of these drugs is strong—mTOR inhibition, enhanced insulin sensitivity, and cellular rejuvenation—the ecosystem isn’t fully prepared. We still need: 1. Defined Regulatory Pathways: Aging isn’t classified as a disease, which makes proving efficacy complex. Just as obesity needed a shift in mindset, longevity must be viewed through the lens of healthspan improvement. 2. Long-Term Safety Data: Just as obesity treatments faced scrutiny due to safety issues, longevity drugs will require extensive long-term trials. Rapamycin, for example, is an immunosuppressant. We need to prove these treatments enhance quality of life without introducing unnecessary risk. 3. Payer Buy-In: Much like obesity treatments, payers may be skeptical of covering drugs that aim to prevent aging. We need strong health economic evidence showing reduced healthcare costs by preventing age-related diseases—clear ROI on fewer hospitalizations, reduced chronic care, and a healthier, aging population. The potential is enormous, but the path forward requires a shift in how we view aging, supported by robust data and a clear regulatory framework. What do you think—are we ready for the longevity revolution? What else is missing? #Longevity #HealthcareInnovation #RepurposedDrugs #Rapamycin #Metformin #FutureOfMedicine https://lnkd.in/d6ajZxF2

Founding CEO Tom Collings talks to us about Kalium Health and managing kidney disease. Did you know that 800 million people are affected by kidney disease around the world, costing $2 billion to manage kidney disease in US alone? Tom talks to us about: • His background as an engineer, to helping startups, to building a company • Founding the company with three amazing women – Fiona Karet, Tanya Hutter, PhD, Elizabeth Norgett • His tips to ‘just do it, life is too short to watch for the side-lines’ and bringing others along on the journey • Following Andy Richards well-known narrative that “Cambridge is a low-risk place to do high-risk things” • Manufacturing in Cambridge at prototype scale to get the product into the hands of clinics and clinical services, launching initially in the US • Initial funding from Cambridge investors – Cambridge Angels, Martlet Capital – any timely opportunities for new professional investors during 2024 • We talk about medical insight and scientific innovation from an original idea to clinical trials. Tom shares with us what they are working on at Kalium Health, the solution(s) they are developing, and how it helps patients to make effective decisions and changes, by accessing their own real-time health data. Tom likens being in the Cambridge ecosystem to “It takes a village to raise a child” citing support from Cambridge Judge Business School, Babraham Research Campus, cofinitive as part of Kalium Health’s growth journey. One of Tom’s final comments is the gap that exists within Cambridge - how timely to have one of our regular charity ads from Abbey People included.
