Direct-to-consumer drug sales may undermine patient care and threaten independent pharmacies by reducing access to personalized, comprehensive medication management.

What will the future hold for clinical research? A recent draft from the FDA provides valuable insight. In "Optimizing the Dosage of Human Prescription Drugs and Biological Products for the Treatment of Oncologic Diseases," the FDA notes that "targeted therapies demonstrate different dose-response relationships compared to cytotoxic chemotherapy, such that doses below the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) may have similar efficacy to the MTD but with fewer toxicities.
As an adoptee who was placed in foster care at 18 months old, I’ve never known my full racial heritage, family tree, or medical history. People have often suggested I try 23andMe or a similar company to get more information on my genetics. But I’ve always felt uneasy about it. So, I felt a little vindicated when I saw the news that Regeneron Pharmaceuticals is set to acquire 23andMe , including its troves of customer data, for $256 million.

Regulatory bodies like the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and European Medicines Agency (EMA) are emphasising the importance of data quality for AI applications in healthcare. High-quality and well-structured data and metadata are characterised by accuracy, consistency and completeness, which is essential for reliable insights and trustworthy AI outputs.
The Royal Pharmaceutical Society is calling on the Government to commit to upgrading digital systems in hospital pharmacy as the chancellor Rachel Reeves announces her much-anticipated spending review. The NHS will receive a £29bn real terms funding boost over the next three years, Ms Reeves said. This equates to a 3% increase in annual day-to-day spending from 2023/24 to 2028/29, making the spending £226bn by the end of the period.

Taxpayers will send an estimated $86 billion to Medicare Advantage insurers this year to pay for supplemental benefits for their members, or 17% of total payments to those plans. But how that money is spent, and how much members actually use those benefits, remains a black hole, according to a new report from a group of Medicare experts. Medicare pays MA plans in the form of what’s known as rebates to help fund supplemental benefits, and that funding has shot up by more than 300% over the
Shots: Novartis has reported P-IIIb ( APPULSE-PNH ) trial data assessing Fabhalta (iptacopan; 200mg, BID, PO) for 24wks. in 52 PNH adults with Hb levels ≥10g/dL who switched from anti-C5 therapies (eculizumab or ravulizumab) Trial showed a 2.01 g/dL mean Hb increase, with 92.7% pts achieving ≥12g/dL & no transfusions over 24wks.

The Food and Drug Administration expanded the approval of Moderna’s RSV vaccine on Thursday, extending the license to include adults aged 18 to 59 who are at high risk of severe illness if they contract respiratory syncytial virus. Previously the vaccine, sold under the name mResvia, was only licensed for use in adults aged 60 and older.
Italian biopharma, Chiesi Group, and Key2Brain, a Swedish biotech, have agreed to advance the development of two blood-brain barrier (BBB)-crossing recombinant enzyme replacement therapies (ERT) for lysosomal storage disorders. These are ultra-rare diseases, including alpha-mannosidosis and Krabbe disease, that affect the central nervous system and have limited treatment options.
If Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. wants to “clean up the corruption and conflicts” at HHS, he is going about it the wrong way. I study conflicts of interest at federal agencies. While industry influence is a widely shared concern, Kennedy’s dismissal of all the members of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention vaccine advisory committee, and the rapid hiring of eight replacements , could easily misfire.
Speed and quality are no longer the only benchmarks for pharma and life sciences content creation. In pharma and life sciences, where compliance is a non-negotiable rule and tools often don’t play well together, marketers need more than just AI — they need a solution that connects the dots and respects the rules. That’s exactly the thinking that led us to conceptualize, create, and now release eVa — a new AI agent within the eWizard Content Experience Platform.
Systematic reviews, which involve pooling data from multiple studies and analyzing them together, are increasingly popular as a way to produce more authoritative conclusions than can be derived from the individual smaller papers. In recent weeks, systematic reviews have been used to justify policy around gender affirming care as well as in the MAHA report.
