  • Ep. 312 - Biotech Progress Report
    A handful of encouraging signals is cause for cautious optimism for biotech headed into the second half of the year — companies have been able to parlay strong data into follow-on capital and M&A activity is picking up. That said, the IPO market continues to be closed and concerns about U.S. drug pricing and FDA stability continue to weigh on expectations for a robust near-term sector recovery.Special guest Megan Hooton from IQVIA Biotech joins BioCentury’s analysts on a special edition of the podcast to discuss key indicators of progress for the biopharma sector. Hooton is president of IQVIA Biotech, which sponsored this episode of the pod.View full story: https://www.biocentury.com/article/656614#biotech #biopharma #pharma #lifescience #BiotechTrends #ClinicalTrials #GeneTherapy #CellTherapy00:01 – Sponsor Message: IQVIA Biotech02:37 – Biotech Markets06:41 – Clinical Highlights10:26 – Insights from Meg Hooton23:10 – Advanced TherapiesTo submit a question to BioCentury’s editors, email the BioCentury This Week team at [email protected] us by sending a text

  • Ep. 311 - The Asia Deals Landscape, U.K. Biotech & More
    This week’s deal between GSK and Jiangsu Hengrui is a prime example of how Western biopharmas have begun to recognize the innovation and opportunities being fostered in China — and how it’s no longer all about fast followers.On the latest BioCentury This Week podcast, BioCentury’s analysts put the collaboration between GSK and Jiangsu Hengrui Pharmaceuticals, two of the most active cross-border dealmakers, into the context of East-West dealmaking over the past 30 months, assessing the innovation that is driving the rush to partner with biotechs in China, Japan, South Korea and beyond, and the types of companies looking to Asia for assets.BioCentury’s analysts also discuss Steve Bates’ outsized role in building the U.K. biotech hub, as he readies to take on a new role in the U.K. government. They examine new VC funds from Omega Funds and Brandon Capital, FDA’s new national priority voucher pilot program, and fallout from how FDA and  Sarepta Therapeutics handled the deaths of four patients who had received the biotech’s gene therapies.

  • Ep. 310 - Sarepta & What's Next for Gene Therapy. Plus: Leading FDA's CDER
    Last week’s public disclosure that a gene therapy from Sarepta had caused a third death led FDA to ask the company to stop distributing its DMD gene therapy Elevidys, a move the biotech has resisted. The deaths, and disputes between FDA and Sarepta, raise questions about the future of AAV gene therapies, as well as the future of FDA’s platform technology designation. On the latest BioCentury This Week podcast, BioCentury’s analysts unpack the events surrounding Sarepta’s gene therapies and discuss how FDA, industry and patient groups should come together to learn the lessons from the tragic, avoidable deaths.BioCentury’s analysts also assess Monday’s appointment of Stanford professor and biotech executive George Tidmarsh to lead FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, and check in on the latest trends in venture financings.
