Sanofi drives digital transformation with Google Cloud

My conversations with healthcare customers have made it clear that the industry is moving to a more data-centric model, one that can deliver deeper insights to physicians, help them make better-informed decisions, and provide better care for patients. This transformation goes hand in hand with Google's mission to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible, secure and useful.

Tips for Managing Chronic Pain Beyond Prescription Painkillers

Article | September 29, 2022

Painkillers like Oxycontin, Percocet, and Vicodin, have been prescribed by primary physicians, surgeons, dentists, and other healthcare providers to patients suffering from varying levels of pain. Though these medications have proven to be an effective source of pain relief, they have also proven to be highly addictive. In fact, it has even been reported that there are more cases of a drug overdose and deaths from prescription painkillers than heroin or cocaine. While there are a number of factors that play into this opioid epidemic, educating doctors and patients on alternative solutions to managing chronic pain is a great place to start combatting this nationwide crisis.

How Can Medical Cannabis Help to Manage Pain Conditions? – The Cannabis Exchange

Article | February 11, 2020

Pain management is one of the most common reasons for the use of medical cannabis products. However, despite many jurisdictions – including Canada, Germany, and the Netherlands – now allowing the prescription of medical cannabis for this purpose, there remains little ‘high-quality’ evidence to support, or oppose its efficacy. Madden et al. (2018) set out to review the evidence available in order to determine the efficacy of medical cannabis when employed in the management of various forms of musculoskeletal pain. The researchers analysed various studies that assessed the use of cannabinoids in the treatment of arthritis pain; back pain; postoperative pain; and trauma-related pain. It is estimated that up to 30% of the population may suffer from a non-cancer-related pain condition. As such a high percentage of people suffer from these conditions, the development of simple and safe therapies is an essential area of research. This is particularly important as the therapeutic options for people with chronic pain are increasingly limited.

FDA set to review Sanofi’s isatuximab for multiple myeloma

Pharmatimes | July 11, 2019

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has accepted a Biologics License Application (BLA) for isatuximab for a review, for the indication of relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM). The drug’s maker Sanofi has announced that the target action date for the FDA decision is April 30, 2020. The drug is an investigational monoclonal antibody that targets a specific epitope on the CD38 receptor of a plasma cell and its BLA is based on positive results from ICARIA-MM, an open-label pivotal Phase III clinical trial of isatuximab in patients with RRMM. During the trial, isatuximab was administered through an intravenous infusion at a dose of 10mg/kg once weekly for four weeks, then every other week for 28-day cycles in combination with standard doses of pomalidomide and dexamethasone for the duration of treatment, and was found to prolong progression-free survival by five months versus Pomalyst and dexamethasone alone in patients. “We are excited by these results, which represent significant progress in our ambition to extend the lives of multiple myeloma patients,” said John Reed, head of Research and Development at Sanofi. “We look forward to engaging with regulatory authorities with the goal of bringing this potential new treatment to patients as quickly as possible.” The drug is currently being evaluated in multiple ongoing Phase III clinical trials in combination with current standard treatments for people with relapsed/refractory or newly diagnosed multiple myeloma, as well as being under investigation for the treatment of other hematologic malignancies and solid tumours.
