Publicly traded U.K. investment firm and company builder Syncona is restructuring its fund amid ongoing market challenges in the biopharma industry. On the latest BioCentury This Week podcast, BioCentury’s analysts discuss how the firm will steer its portfolio toward returns for shareholders, while aiming to build a new fund away from public markets. The analysts then assess Eli Lilly's takeout of cardiovascular base editing company Verve, and what Washington Editor Steve Usdin calls FDA’s new “two-track” future for evaluating new therapies for approval — those with clear-cut benefits and those with ambiguous efficacy safety and efficacy profiles — in light of the many departures of senior FDA staff. They also discuss NASDAQ’s largest biopharma IPO — by Caris — in two years, the latest obesity readouts, FDA Commissioner Marty Makary’s priority pathway and Usdin’s Q&A with new BIO Chair Fritz Bittenbender. This episode of BioCentury This Week was sponsored by ICON Biotech.
