In Case You Missed It

This Week in Perspective

Looking ahead, FDA’s decision on next-gen PSMA radioligands (PDUFA target: Oct 1) and EMA’s first approval of an mRNA-based oncology vector are on the horizon. In AI, expect the first annual report from the UN Scientific Panel in November, which could shape global policy dialogue. Gene therapy watchers: CRISPR-based ophthalmology trials readout by year-end will guide pipeline prioritization.

Practical Workflow Tips

• For AI governance teams, adopt a “Minimum Viable Governance” approach: start with transparent model cards and incident-reporting protocols before scaling.
• In gene therapy trials, integrate remote-monitoring platforms to capture RWD for label-expansion submissions.
• Radioligand trialists should standardize lesion segmentation workflows using open-source PET/MRI co-registration tools to streamline multi-center analyses.
