Foundation Fighting Blindness Invests in Gene Therapy Research Projects
Recently, the Foundation Fighting Blindness announced an $8.25 million investment in six new gene therapy research projects targeted to have treatments ready for clinical trials within three years. The projects include the following: The Institut de la Vision in Paris and the Friedrich Miescher Institute in Basel, Switzerland, are developing a gene therapy that may revive degenerating cones and potentially enable them to regain their ability to respond to light and provide vision. The treatment Read More >
Repositioning Drugs for Parkinson’s Disease
Last month, The Michael J. Fox Foundation (MJFF) announced the launch of its Repositioning Drugs for PD 2012 program. The program follows a successful 2011 during which the Foundation funded nine awards totaling $3.4 million repositioning existing drugs that could benefit Parkinson’s disease patients. The program seeks projects that will test drugs that are either already FDA-approved or that have been proven safe in a clinical trial for a certain indication, to determine whether the Read More >

Release of BIO/Biomedtracker Drug Approval Rates Study
BIO and BioMedTracker are pleased to present the findings of their joint clinical trial success rates study. Using clinical trial data from the past seven years, this analysis examines the most recent probability of success by treatment type, phase of development and therapeutic area. The overall success rate for drugs moving through clinical trials to FDA approval from late 2003 to the end of 2010 is near one in 10, not one in five to one Read More >
Clinical Trial Success Rates – Recent Study from Tufts
Joseph DiMasi and his team at Tufts University published a paper earlier this year in Nature’s Clinical Pharmacology & Therapeutics journal that contains some interesting data on clinical trial success rates. The published data are relevant to biotech investors and business development professionals in that published industry data for clinical outcomes can make a significant difference on the overall valuation of a company. These probabilities can also have a meaningful impact on the ability to Read More >
