Ep. 128 - Financial Markets Forecast, AAV Toxicity & Drug Pricing

Even with signs that the biotech winter may be starting to thaw, buysiders continue to expect more near-term pain for the sector as consolidation continues for smaller companies with limited cash and few options for raising more, Associate Editor Stephen Hansen says on the latest edition of the BioCentury This Week podcast. Hansen sums up the takeaway messages from BioCentury's 3Q22 Financial Markets Preview, detailing the impact of the barren financing landscape, investors’ priorities, and whether the sector has finally hit bottom. The podcast team also discuss an initiative by gene therapy companies to resolve and pre-empt immune-related toxicities seen in some Duchenne muscular dystrophy trials and the latest push by Congressional Democrats and the Biden administration to regulate the prices of some drugs.
