…”Diagnostics division to help drugmaker tailor treatments.”
Eli Lilly has created a new division to produce tests that will “winnow out the patients most likely to benefit from a Lilly drug.” This new concept of “personalized medicine” recognizes the reality that most drugs work in only about 1/3 of the patients who take them. These new tests will help Lilly identify the subgroups of patients who will benefit the most and at what dose. The diseases that this new Lilly division will be focusing on are Cancer and Alzheimer’s.
Will there be a trend for the life sciences industry that will push pharma companies to develop diagnostic tests alongside their experimental drugs? Terry Hisey, leader of the US life sciences practice, Deloitte Consulting, believes there will be.

“This is not an industry like the pharmaceutical industry,” where innovation often comes from deep-pocketed conglomerates, Leahey said. “The real research and development in this industry comes from small players who are just struggling to get by.” (Read The Washington Post article)
According to USA Today, Mark Leahey has stated that trade groups are pushing their members to write lawmakers about the medical device tax.
We encourage all of you reading this post to contact your Congresspersons and and express your concerns about the healthcare reform and medical device tax being proposed.
