BREAKING NEWS We are delighted to announce that the Pharmaceutical Benefits Advisory Committee (PBAC) has today recommended Trikafta® for children aged 2 to 5 years who have at least one F508del mutation in the CFTR gene. This is a positive step in the right direction and builds on the two previous decisions to recommend and list Trikafta for those 12 and above in April 2022, and more recently 6 to 11-year-olds in May 2023, both of which now have access to Trikafta through the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS). There are approximately 300 young children in Australia that stand to benefit from this decision. The recommendation now heads to the Federal Government for review and a decision as to when it will be added to the PBS. We know that early access is vital; reducing infections, hospitalisations and increasing quality of life; and we urge all stakeholders to expedite this important listing on the PBS. We appreciate that this recommendation was reached promptly and thank all who advocated for this important change. 🎉 #CFTR #Trikafta #PBACDecision #CysticFibrosis

FDA recently approved the 50th biosimilar drug product, a major milestone in reducing healthcare cost and expanding patient access to life-changing biotheraputics. A biosimilar is a biological drug product (biologic) that is highly similar to, and has no clinically meaningful differences from, an existing FDA-approved biologic (also called the reference product). Biosimilars are now approved for 15 different reference products, and treat illnesses like rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, some cancers, psoriasis, diabetes, macular degeneration, osteoporosis, and more. Here is a list of FDA-approved biosimilars: https://lnkd.in/ewspn2B3

Longitude portfolio company Inozyme Pharma, which focuses on developing novel therapeutics for rare diseases, recently shared that the U.S. FDA has granted Fast Track designation to INZ-701 for the treatment of ABCC6 Deficiency. INZ-701 is an ENPP1 enzyme replacement therapy in development for the treatment of rare disorders of the vasculature, soft tissue, and skeleton. In pre-clinical studies, the experimental therapy has shown potential to prevent pathologic mineralization and intimal proliferation, which can drive morbidity and mortality in devastating genetic disorders such as ENPP1 Deficiency, ABCC6 Deficiency, and calciphylaxis.

Massive news in the #genomics theme! Last Friday, the FDA approved the ground-breaking gene-editing therapy, Casgevy, developed by CRISPR Therapeutics and Vertex Pharmaceuticals. This therapy marks a significant advancement as the first gene-editing treatment in the US for severe Sickle Cell Disease (SCD), impacting around 100,000 people in the US and 20 million worldwide. This approval sets the stage for potential advancements in addressing other rare blood diseases, with a PDUFA meeting on March 30, 2024, discussing Casgevy's approval for beta-thalassemia (TDT). A promising step forward in the pursuit of curing genetic disorders. Considering the recent challenges faced by genomics stocks over the past few years, is it now opportune for investors to contemplate allocation? https://lnkd.in/eZCEaXJ3 ARK Investment Management LLC Rize ETF #HealthcareInnovation #GeneEditing #FDAApproval

Check our latest review about Toll-like receptor signalling as a cannabinoid target. Melody Cui Sun, Almudena Otálora Alcaraz , Jack Prenderville, Eric Downer Read article here: https://lnkd.in/eRyWC_ER There is evidence that TLR dysregulation can contribute to disease pathogenesis. Additionally, cannabinoids can cross-talk with TLRs signalling. This review highlights evidence that cannabinoids are key regulators of TLR signalling and their potential as anti-inflammatory therapeutics.

#transcript Dr. Marshall Fordyce, CEO and Founder of Vera Therapeutics, discusses the company's patient-centric approach to developing new medicines for autoimmune diseases. Vera is currently in Phase 3 with a molecule called Atacicept, which targets B cells in autoimmune diseases. They focus on IgA nephropathy, a rare kidney disease, and the third most common cause of kidney failure. A key concern is that declining kidney function is often misdiagnosed and not screened for because the early warning signs are so subtle. #VeraTherapeutics #KidneyDisease #RareDisease #BCells #Immunotherapy #AutoimmuneDiseases #IgANephropathy veratx.com https://lnkd.in/dgu6UPXA
