By Jennifer Boggs
SAN FRANCISCO – If 2017 marked a year of big wins for scientific innovation with the FDA approvals of the first three gene therapies – Novartis AG's Kymriah (tisagenlecleucel) CAR T immunotherapy for B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia, Kite Pharma Inc.-developed CAR T Yescarta (axicabtagene ciloleucel) for certain types of non-Hodgkin lymphoma and more "traditional" gene therapy Luxturna (voretigene neparvovec-rzyl) from Spark Therapeutics Inc. to treat RPE65 mutation-associated retinal dystrophy – then 2018 might be the year when the innovative capabilities on the payer side are put to the test.

Nov. 16, 2017
By Jennifer Boggs

Shares of Acorda Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ:ACOR) took a hit Wednesday, falling $11.20 to close at $17, on reports of potentially treatment-related adverse events in its tozadenant program for Parkinson's disease. While reports of agranulocytosis that led to cases of sepsis and death prompted analysts to drop the drug from their models, the Ardsley, N.Y.-based firm has no plans at this time to discontinue work on the phase III oral adenosine A2a receptor antagonist it acquired in last year's buyout of Biotie Therapies Oyj.

Oct. 27, 2017
By Jennifer Boggs
CLEVELAND – Coming into the Cleveland Clinic's 15th annual Medical Innovation Summit, gene therapy had been making headlines, most recently the unanimous recommendation by the FDA's Cellular, Tissue and Gene Therapies Advisory Committee in favor of Spark Therapeutics Inc.'s Luxturna (voretigene neparvovec) in RPE65-mediated inherited retinal disease.
