MDS/AML KOL Interview

Highlights More specific, next-generation FLT3 inhibitors may not have an anti-leukemic benefit over agents with broader TKI activity (such as sorafenib, AMGN), but they may not have as severe myelosuppressive effects. Although the kinase inhibitor rigosertib (ONTX) had poor Phase III results in MDS and AML, the subgroup of patients with primary HMA failure may […]

ADPD Alzheimer’s Disease Pulse

Overview We performed a 5-question survey of 25 neurologists in the US to gauge current familiarity with Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) biomarkers and drugs in clinical development for disease modification. Drugs covered include: BIIB037/BART (BIIB), Solanezumab (LLY), Pioglitazone (Takeda), BAN2401 (ESALY/BIIB), MK-8931 (MRK).

Post-AASLD US KOL Interview

Over 95% SVR for easy-to-treat patients, and it’s one pill a day for 8-12 weeks for most. In that context, the only way you can improve up on that is to improve care for all populations, not just for easy-to-treat but the difficult-to-treat: decompensated cirrhotics, the post-transplant, and HIV co-infected patients.

Dermatology KOL Interview

BioMedTracker – Dermatology KOL Interview                                                                                                                           In recent years, patients have become more comfortable with aesthetic dermatology procedures as they have become more widespread.

SGLT-2 Pulse Survey

We surveyed primary care physicians (n=10) and endocrinologists (n=10) to see how SGLT-2 inhibitors and the combo pills will be used and what the potential impact of usage with GLP-1 agonists may have.

Congestive Heart Failure Pulse Survey

The study was just closed early, as LCZ696 increased time to first occurrence of either

cardiovascular death or heart failure hospitalization, though details have not been released.

We surveyed 10 US Cardiologists to get a preview of how they would use LCZ696 under different

assumptions about what the study found.
