Summary
Will drugmakers finally be able to breach the efficacy ceiling in inflammatory bowel disease? And is the Food and Drug Administration being flexible enough with rare disease treatments? Spyre Therapeutics CEO Cameron Turtle joins the podcast to discuss his company's experimental IBD medications, and whether the drug industry is scraping the barrel in the search for better treatments. We also discuss the latest news in the life sciences, including the ongoing debate between the FDA and UniQure over its Huntington's disease therapy, as well as Moderna's mammoth patent settlement.
