Ep. 180 - ASCO, Neuropsych & the IRA

Two Phase I checkpoint inhibitor readouts due at ASCO 2023 are bringing excitement back to immuno-oncology, said BioCentury’s Lauren Martz on the latest BioCentury This Week podcast. Martz and her editorial team colleagues discuss what stands out about the data for LAG3 inhibitor fianlimab from Regeneron and anti-TIGIT mAb tiragolumab from Genentech.
The editors also break down takeaways from BioCentury's conversation on precision neuropsychiatry with Husseini Manji, co-chair of the U.K. Mental Health Mission, and assess BIO’s call for CMS to provide more clarity about its plans for implementing provisions in the Inflation Reduction Act that give some small biotechs a temporary exemption from Medicare drug price negotiation. This week’s podcast is sponsored by Cancer Research Horizons.
