Ep. 151 - Alzheimer's Takeaways, U.K. Biotech, Charles Forum

CTAD data for lecanemab showed more definitively than any past readout that targeting β-amyloid can lead to clinical benefit for Alzheimer’s patients, but the field is still wrestling with its use as a surrogate endpoint, BioCentury Executive Editor Selina Koch said on the latest BioCentury This Week podcast. Koch and the BioCentury podcast team break down the implications of data from Eisai and Roche at last week’s Clinical Trials on Alzheimer’s Disease meeting and look ahead to what’s next for the field. BioCentury’s editors also discussed how proposed changes to the U.K.’s R&D tax credit scheme could hurt British biotechs and what regulatory heads of global biopharmas who are members of the Charles Forum are envisioning for the post-COVID regulatory environment.Reach us by sending a text
