Description

In this episode, Ayesha talked about the FDA approval of Zurzuvae (zuranolone) the first oral tablet for the treatment of postpartum depression (PPD). While the approval is a major win in PPD, as current treatments involve administration by infusion or use of general antidepressants, Zurzuvae developers Biogen and Sage Biotech were banking on getting approval for it in major depressive disorder (MDD). However, the FDA rejected it in MDD and only handed the approval in PPD. Hear more about the drug and the approval/rejection in this episode. Ayesha also talked about Johnson & Johnson’s latest bankruptcy attempt related to its talc baby powder cases that was shot down by a US Bankruptcy Court. The company said it will appeal the decision as it continues to offer talc claimants a $8.9 billion settlement, which it says is the best way to resolve the cases in a timely and financially equitable manner. This is the company’s second bankruptcy attempt, both of which have been turned down so far. Listen to the full episode to learn more about Johnson & Johnson’s ongoing legal saga.Read the full articles here:Zurzuvae Earns Win for Postpartum Depression, Faces Challenges in MDDTalc Litigation Saga Continues: Court Rejects J&J’s Latest Bankruptcy AttemptFor more life science and medical device content, visit the Xtalks Vitals homepage.Follow Us on Social MediaTwitter: @XtalksInstagram: @XtalksFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/Xtalks.Webinars/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/xtalks-webconferencesYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/XtalksWebinars/featured
