Abstract

This month’s industry update covers the period 16 October–15 November 2010. A common feature of this time-frame were the number of deals involving novel technologies for actively targeted therapeutics (Wilex and Heidelberg; Algeta and Lumiphore; Boehringer Ingelheim and MacroGenics; Access Pharmaceuticals and undisclosed partner) illustrating the level of sophistication and diversity in approach that is developing in this area. Rare diseases were also a focus with GlaxoSmithKline joining forces with Fondazione Telethon and Fondazione San Raffaele to develop gene therapy for rare genetic diseases and the CHDI Foundation agreeing to provide funding for a novel silencing ribonucleic acid device combination being co-developed by Alnylam and Medtronic for the treatment of Huntingdon’s disease. As ever, the information is mainly taken from drug-delivery websites and press releases.
