Drug shortages

This week Lori, Greg and Tyler discuss the ⁠Accelerated Approval of Amtagvi⁠, the first one-time cell therapy for solid tumors and the first TIL therapy; the ⁠FTC and HHS probe⁠ into generic drug shortages and some recent ADC-focused raises from ⁠ProfoundBio⁠ and ⁠Firefly Bio⁠.
The Federal Trade Commission and Department of Health and Human Services on Wednesday said they are investigating group purchasing organizations and drug wholesalers’ possible involvement.
This week, Greg, Heather and Tyler discuss reaction to ⁠Novo Nordisk’s purchase of Catalent⁠ and speculate on what that means for existing manufacturing contracts, customers and consequences with ⁠regulators⁠.
With manufacturing issues persisting, last year’s shortages of medicines, including chemotherapies, weight-loss drugs and antibiotics, will continue into 2024.
