Millions of patients are left out of those studies, which often fail to capture the population in all its diversity. Now, for the first time, the National Institutes of Health is investing in the creation of a national primary care research network to try to address this issue.

Weight loss treatments have the potential to revolutionize health care in rich countries. They are driving a race among drugmakers for a slice of a market that could exceed $100 billion by 2030. But little thought has apparently been given to helping people in low- and middle-income countries, where obesity rates are soaring despite poor nutrition. Without decisive action to develop fair access plans to these drugs for people living in poorer countries, there is a real danger that a significant

New sub-analysis data from a Phase II clinical trial show that after 48 weeks of survodutide treatment, 83.0 percent of adults with liver fibrosis achieved a statistically significant improvement of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH). This is compared to 18.2 percent with placebo. With its novel mechanism of action, the glucagon/GLP-1 receptor dual agonist is the first to show this level of fibrosis benefit in a Phase II MASH trial following 48 weeks of treatment, according

The first telomerase inhibitor has been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). RYTELO ( imetelstat ) is authorised for adults with low- to intermediate-1 risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) with transfusion-dependent (TD) anaemia. The first-in-class oligonucleotide telomerase inhibitor is indicated for these patients who need four or more red blood cell units over eight weeks, who are unresponsive to or ineligible for erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESA).
The investment is managed by the funds of Permira and is expected to close by the fourth quarter of 2024, subject to necessary approvals and conditions. The companies did not disclose the financial terms of the deal. PharmaCord, known for its role as a commercialisation partner for life sciences organisations, focuses on enhancing the patient experience with specialty medications.
