STAT+: Trump celebrates closing first round of drug pricing deals, promises more ahead
WASHINGTON — President Trump heralded a drug pricing agreement with Regeneron on Thursday, closing the last of 17 deals initially sought by the White House last year.
Regeneron, as part of the private deal, will reduce prices on drugs to Medicaid, provide cholesterol medicine Praluent on TrumpRx for $225, and invest $27 billion in drug development in the United States.
On the same day, Regeneron also announced Food and Drug Administration approval of Otarmeni, the first gene therapy to be greenlit under the agency’s new National Priority Voucher program. In early trials, the drug provided modest hearing gains for people with a rare type of hearing loss, though its development has received pushback from parts of the Deaf community. Regeneron plans to offer the drug at no cost to American patients.
NEW YORK — No quick dispatching of disease investigators. No televised news conference to inform the public. No timely health alerts to doctors.
In the midst of a hantavirus outbreak that involves Americans and is making headlines around the world, the U.S. government’s top public health agency, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, has been uncharacteristically missing in action, according to a number of experts.
