    We're marking Rare Disease Month 2026 by highlighting the powerful story of Shanthi Hegde, a young patient advocate working to transform how bleeding disorders are understood, treated, and supported. This work is fueled by her own arduous journey with two rare bleeding disorders and immune dysregulatory syndrome, and an extended diagnostic odyssey marked by dismissal, underdiagnosis, and structural bias. “I was told many times by many providers that these disorders are not common in Indians and that my bruises were there just because I'm brown.” Admirably, Shanthi pushed past this mistreatment, advocated for her medical needs, and devoted herself to tackling a range of issues confronting rare disease patients from mental health access to affordable drug pricing to research equity. In this remarkable Year of the Zebra conversation with host Lindsey Smith, you'll also learn about: Shanti's work with the Hemophilia Federation of America; How gaps extend beyond treatment to include insurance coverage, provider training, and substance use care; What clinicians can do to improve the work they do with rare disease patients. Join us for a conversation that connects patient voice to system change, and explores what real equity for rare disease communities will require.

The conversation then shifts to market sentiment, touching on biotech outlook and M&A. in policy news, the group highlights that the FDA reversed its refusal to file a letter for Moderna's flu vaccine after President Trump met with Dr. Marty Makary. They also discuss the FDA's recent regulatory unpredictability, particularly in vaccines and rare diseases. Next, the co-hosts highlight Denali Therapeutics' upcoming PDUFA date for its Hunter syndrome therapy as another test of the FDA's flexibility. The group notes the agency's paper published in NEJM announcing approval of certain drugs based on a single clinical trial, with some viewing it positively for biotech innovation while others caution it may be meaningless, especially with leadership changes. The co-hosts close the discussion on regulatory news by reflecting on positives that have emerged during the Dr. Makary/Dr. Prasad era.

In this timely and candid interview with Raise the Line host Lindsey Smith, Dr. Offit points to this year's severe flu season and a resurgence of measles as alarming proof points of how a changing federal perspective on vaccine policy is having a real impact on public health. “You'd like to think you can educate about the importance of vaccines, but I fear at this point the viruses themselves are doing the educating.” In this wide ranging discussion, Dr. Offit also addresses: The rigorous and painstaking process of developing vaccines, based on his experience co-inventing the rotavirus vaccine. Shifting levels of public trust in scientific organizations. Promising innovations in vaccine development. Don't miss this deeply-informed perspective on the interplay of science, policy, and public education, and his encouraging message to young clinicians about managing the current challenges in public health.  Mentioned in this episode: Vaccine Education Center at Children's Hospital of PhiladelphiaPerelman School of Medicine If you like this podcast, please share it on your social channels.

    Jonathan and Wendy unpack how culture war politics, anti-vaccine ideology, and regulatory power are colliding in dangerous ways. The conversation begins with criticism Jonathan received after arguing that trans healthcare decisions should be left to doctors, patients, and families—not debated for podcast content or political gain. The discussion then pivots to the measles resurgence, including outbreaks in ICE detention centers and efforts to minimize measles deaths using recycled COVID-era talking points. They examine five recurring myths being repurposed from COVID to measles: people are dying "with" not "of" the disease, only sick children die, the outbreak is "almost over," vaccines are more dangerous than the illness, and doctors are to blame for deaths. Finally, they analyze the FDA's controversial refusal to review Moderna's mRNA flu vaccine, exploring what that decision signals about regulatory instability, innovation suppression, and long-term damage to vaccine research in the U.S. Connect with us further on https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/author/jonathanhoward/  The Fine Print The content presented in the "We Want Them Infected" Podcast and associated book is intended for informational and educational purposes only.    The views and opinions expressed by the speakers, hosts, and guests on the podcast do not necessarily reflect the views of the creators, producers, or distributors.

    Good morning from Pharma Daily: the podcast that brings you the most important developments in the pharmaceutical and biotech world. Today, we delve into a wide array of topics, from groundbreaking therapies and strategic corporate moves to regulatory shifts and industry trends shaping the future of healthcare.We begin with Eli Lilly, which is making significant strides with its combined Zepbound and Taltz therapy, showing promising results in the treatment of psoriasis and obesity. This combination therapy, initially successful in psoriatic arthritis, is set to transform treatment protocols by bridging gaps between psoriasis and obesity. This dual-targeting approach highlights a burgeoning trend in the industry: the use of combination therapies to enhance patient outcomes while streamlining treatment regimens. This strategy not only promises better management of interconnected conditions but also reflects a broader industry goal of maximizing therapeutic reach with existing drugs.Novartis is advancing its portfolio with the oral BTK inhibitor, Rhapsido, following a successful Phase 3 trial for a new chronic hives subtype. This development underscores Novartis's commitment to addressing niche markets and unmet medical needs, emphasizing the pharmaceutical industry's focus on expanding the utility of existing drugs. Additionally, Novartis has entered into a notable partnership with Macrocycle Biotech for cardiovascular drug development. This collaboration represents a broader trend where large pharmaceutical companies seek innovative partnerships to expand their therapeutic portfolios through cutting-edge biotech solutions.Meanwhile, Moderna's influenza vaccine submission has been accepted by the FDA after an initial rejection, illustrating a responsive regulatory environment crucial for timely access to vaccines amid potential flu outbreaks.Johnson & Johnson's $1 billion investment plan in the U.S., focusing on cell therapy, aligns with broader industry trends towards personalized medicine and advanced therapeutic approaches. This investment is part of a strategic pivot towards cell and gene therapies that promise to redefine treatment pathways for complex diseases. Similarly, Bayer's $7.25 billion settlement over Roundup litigation shows an industry keen on resolving legal challenges swiftly to refocus efforts on innovation.Regulatory reforms are also gaining attention, with proposals aimed at streamlining FDA processes to enhance drug access and reduce burdens. These reforms could significantly impact drug development timelines and market entry strategies, reflecting an ongoing discourse on balancing regulation with fostering innovation.On a global scale, Stada's €85 million investment in Saudi Arabia points to a strategic move towards enhancing supply chain resilience in the Middle East and North Africa. This aligns with industry trends focusing on regional manufacturing capabilities to ensure drug availability while reducing logistical complexities.A notable example of strategic resource allocation is Eli Lilly's $100 million upfront payment for CSL's IL-6 antibody development rights. This reflects an adaptive approach where initial clinical setbacks are seen as opportunities for new therapeutic ventures rather than dead ends.Turning our attention to Alzheimer's research, Korsana Biosciences has emerged from stealth mode with substantial funding aimed at developing an anti-amyloid antibody capable of crossing the blood-brain barrier. This effort addresses a critical need within Alzheimer's disease treatment—a field marked by intense competition and scientific challenge. Parallelly, IQVIA Biotech highlights the importance of accelerating early-stage interventions for Alzheimer's through data analytics and optimized clinical trials. Such efforts aim to expedite regulatory approvals and bring new therapies to market faster—a trend indicative of leveragSupport the show

    The FDA is agreeing to review Moderna's influenza vaccine. Officials defended the initial decision, saying the company should have given a higher-strength vaccine to older patients in the control arm of its trial. However, Moderna made revisions to its approach and is now seeking full approval for the shot for adults between 50 and 64 years old as well as accelerated approval for those aged 65 and above.

    Är det livsfarligt att åka in i Bermudatriangeln? Finns det gigantiska snömän i Tibet? Existerar Nessie och Storsjöodjuret? Sover det ett lermonster – en golem – på vinden i en synagoga i Prag? Har utomjordingar verkligen landat i Roswell och Ängelholm?Frågorna är många. Och även om de flesta av oss avfärdar berättelserna som fantasifulla myter, fortsätter de att väcka fascination, spekulationer och nya teorier.När vi granskar dessa myter närmare visar det sig att de påfallande ofta är av mycket sent datum. Ett talande exempel är föreställningen om fredagen den 13 som en olycksdag. Enligt en seglivad berättelse går kopplingen tillbaka till Jesu sista måltid, där Judas Iskariot var den trettonde vid bordet – vilket i sin tur skulle ha lett till korsfästelsen på långfredagen. Men faktum är att ingen betraktade fredagen den 13 som otursförföljd före andra hälften av 1800-talet. Den verkliga explosionsartade spridningen av myten skedde först på 1900-talet.Samma sak gäller det berömda Loch Ness-odjuret. Den skotska turistindustrin påstår gärna att observationer av monstret går tillbaka till 500-talet. Men när vi undersöker källorna noggrant visar det sig att intresset för "Nessie" tog fart först på 1930-talet, då massmedier började rapportera om märkliga iakttagelser i sjön.I detta avsnitt av podden Harrisons dramatiska historia samtalar Dick Harrison, professor i historia vid Lunds universitet, med fackboksförfattaren Katarina Harrison Lindbergh om moderna myter – fascinerande föreställningar som ofta tas för sanningar, men som i själva verket uppstått först i modern tid.Bildtext: Golem och rabbi Löw avbildad på Madame Tussauds i Prag. Golem är en central gestalt i centraleuropeisk judisk mystik och folklore, ofta kopplad till 1500-talets Prag.

    Navigating FDA Shifts: Innovations and Regulatory Challenges

    Pharma and BioTech Daily

    Good morning from Pharma Daily: the podcast that brings you the most important developments in the pharmaceutical and biotech world. Today, we delve into a series of significant events and decisions in the industry that are shaping the path forward for drug development and patient care.The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), an agency often at the center of pharmaceutical innovation and scrutiny, has recently made several noteworthy decisions. These decisions not only point to the ongoing regulatory challenges but also highlight scientific advancements within the field.One of the key updates involves the FDA's decision to reject Disc's drug bitopertin, which was intended for the treatment of erythropoietic protoporphyria, a rare blood disease. Despite receiving a national priority voucher for expedited review, the FDA ultimately concluded that the clinical data did not sufficiently support regulatory approval. This decision underscores the FDA's commitment to maintaining rigorous standards even when expedited reviews are in play, emphasizing the necessity of robust clinical evidence for approval.Adding complexity to this situation is the internal dynamics within the FDA itself. Richard Pazdur, a long-standing official at the agency, recently stepped down, revealing disagreements with Commissioner Marty Makary over reducing the number of clinical trials required for new drug applications. Pazdur's departure after an influential 26-year tenure highlights ongoing debates within regulatory bodies on how to balance innovative approval pathways with ensuring safety and efficacy data.In another notable development, Moderna faced setbacks with its mRNA-1010 flu vaccine as the FDA declined to review it. This decision leaves American consumers without access to potentially more effective mRNA-based flu vaccines—a technology embraced by other countries for influenza treatment. This situation points to possible missed opportunities in leveraging cutting-edge vaccine technologies domestically, showcasing both the promise and regulatory complexities surrounding mRNA technology.These regulatory challenges unfold amid leadership changes and strategic shifts within health agencies. For instance, Jim O'Neill's departure from his role as acting director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention following Susan Monarez's abrupt ouster illustrates how leadership turbulence can impact policy consistency and strategic direction, potentially affecting how new health initiatives are prioritized and implemented.Meanwhile, companies like Vertex and CRISPR Therapeutics are ambitiously advancing gene therapy solutions such as Casgevy, signaling a broader trend towards personalized medicine and advanced biotechnological approaches. These efforts promise transformative impacts on patient care and reflect an industry-wide move towards precision medicine.Eli Lilly's substantial investment in orforglipron stock ahead of its anticipated approval further indicates confidence in their product pipeline amidst growing competition from Novo Nordisk's Wegovy pill abroad. This competitive landscape highlights increasing interest and investment in innovative treatments for metabolic diseases.Overall, these developments illustrate a dynamic interplay between scientific innovation, regulatory scrutiny, and strategic corporate maneuvers that shape healthcare's future. As companies push technological boundaries, regulators face ongoing challenges in adapting frameworks that ensure patient safety while fostering innovation. The outcomes of these processes will significantly influence not only patient access to cutting-edge therapies but also set precedents for future drug development and approval pathways. As these trends unfold, stakeholders across the industry must remain agile, informed, and collaborative to navigate this evolving landscape effectively.Looking back at 2025, it was a tSupport the show
