Keypoints:

  • Pharmaceutical industry is under pressure to increase demand and productivity.
  • Pharma manufacturers are also expected to reduce waste in the drug development pipeline.
  • Translational research is to get an idea to translate in a way to benefit the patient.

Commentary:

The pharmaceutical industry is undergoing a series of rapid changes. These days, there is higher demand, increased productivity, a race to get the drugs into consumers’ hands at a record pace, and a push to minimize waste in the process. MarketScale talked to Dr. Gabi Hanna, the CEO of Lamassu Pharma, to give his take on the drug development pipeline and what needs to be updated once the drug hits the market.

Abridged Thoughts:

In a basic and simple way, translational research is to take the idea from research and how to translate it into a tangible way to benefit the patient. This is the translation of knowledge to make a real impact on a patient. That is basically, in a nutshell, what does translational research is for us.

Interchangeable biosimilars are getting approved faster, and Wezlana shows why

Interchangeable biosimilars are getting approved faster, and Wezlana shows why

The FDA approved Wezlana (ustekinumab-auub) as a biosimilar to and interchangeable with Stelara for multiple inflammatory diseases, which means it may be substituted without consulting the prescriber, subject to state pharmacy laws. A Springer analysis reported 26 interchangeable biosimilars approved since 2020 and said average approval timelines decreased from 798 days for applications dated in 2020 to 364 days for applications dated in 2024. The operational pressure shifts to formulary, payer, and specialty pharmacy workflow design.

  • 01Interchangeability is becoming the default ask, not an afterthought: Springer found 17 of 26 approvals pursued interchangeability concurrently, which changes how buyers should time contracting and conversions.
  • 02Springer reported average approval timelines decreased from 798 days for applications dated in 2020 to 364 days for applications dated in 2024, which can compress planning windows for monitoring and implementation.
  • 03A new interchangeable ustekinumab option means the hard work is no longer clinical, it is operational: NDC mapping, EMR preference lists, substitution rules by state, and patient communications decide whether savings show up.

AAO-HNSF hearing loss guideline moves audiograms and amplification into primary care

AAO-HNSF’s new age-related hearing loss guideline calls for screening adults starting at age 50 and escalating to otoscopy, audiogram, and appropriately fit amplification. It shifts hearing loss from “patient complaint” to a routine primary-care workflow. The pressure shows up in audiology capacity, referral design, and documentation standards.

  • 01Screening at age 50 becomes a repeatable workflow, so capacity planning shifts from episodic ENT referrals to steady primary-care volume, especially where annual wellness visits are a dominant access point.
  • 02The guideline’s escalation sequence, screen, otoscopy, audiogram, amplification, then cochlear implant candidacy evaluation, creates a measurable funnel that health systems can instrument in the EHR and manage like any other pathway.
  • 03Asymmetric loss remains a separate trigger for MRI in many settings, and 2026 pre-proof work using NHANES and SEER highlights why imaging criteria choices can swing scan volume, a budgeting and radiology access issue, not a clinical footnote.

ADHA shifts My Health Record to multi-supplier ops as Accenture signs new 3-year contract

ADHA shifts My Health Record to multi-supplier ops as Accenture signs new 3-year contract

Accenture will keep supporting Australia’s My Health Record under a new three-year contract. ADHA is moving the platform to a multi-supplier operating model. The shift raises questions about shared integration discipline, tooling, and accountability when changes hit production.

  • 01Multi-supplier delivery is spreading across national-scale health platforms, as ADHA's My Health Record shift shows, moving risk from vendor selection to integration, runbooks, and accountability.
  • 02GenAI model upgrades are arriving with healthcare-specific claims, but the procurement work moves to evidence, safety controls, and monitoring once models sit inside clinical workflows.
  • 03Embedded AI expands the cyber asset inventory problem: if teams cannot discover the AI components across endpoints and devices, they cannot reliably secure or audit them.
