STAT+: Her daughter Mila got a bespoke medicine. Now she’s starting a new biotech to make more
ROME — Julia Vitarello, whose daughter Mila eight years ago received a bespoke medicine designed for her particular disease-causing mutation, said this week that she is in the process of starting a new company to try to create these individualized therapies at scale.
Vitarello’s previous effort, called EveryONE Medicines, recently folded in part because new Food and Drug Administration guidance encouraging the development of customized therapies did not go far enough in creating a pathway to satisfy EveryONE’s investors, Vitarello said.
Now Vitarello and collaborators are looking for new funders.

STAT+: OxyContin maker Purdue Pharma set to dissolve after judge approves its criminal sentence
NEWARK, N.J. — OxyContin maker Purdue Pharma is set to be dissolved and replaced by a company focused on the public good by the week’s end, as a massive legal settlement resolving thousands of lawsuits takes effect.
A federal judge on Tuesday delivered a criminal sentence to the company to resolve a Department of Justice probe — a last necessary step to clear the way for the settlement.
U.S. District Judge Madeline Cox Arleo made her decision after listening to hours of impact statements from people who lost loved ones or struggled with addiction themselves and requested she reject the negotiated sentence. While she didn’t go that far, she said she sympathized with people who bore the brunt of an epidemic linked to more than 900,000 deaths in the U.S. since 1999.
