SIGI

Cracking The Code: Understanding Analyst Reviews For Selective Insurance Gr

In June, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention&#8217;s (CDC) Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) voted to recommend the routine use of Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) vaccines in all adults&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/06/39522040/cdc-advisor-panel-recommends-rsv-shots-in-us-for-people-above-75-years-analyst-says-decision-nega" rel="noreferrer noopener">aged 75 and above</a>.
The panel also recommended RSV immunization for adults aged 60-74 years who are at increased risk for severe RSV disease, meaning they have certain chronic medical conditions.
The&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.gsk.com/en-gb/media/press-releases/statement-us-centers-for-disease-control-and-prevention-s-advisory-committee-on-immunisation-practices-updates-recommendations-on-adult-rsv-vaccines-ahead-of-the-next-season/" rel="noreferrer noopener">recommendation</a> is for adults who did not get an RSV vaccine last year. The RSV vaccine is not currently an annual vaccine.
ACIP postponed a vote on a recommendation for adults aged 50-59 years at increased risk for RSV-LRTD until additional data became available.
U.S. sales of RSV vaccines from GSK Plc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GSK#NYSE">GSK</a>) and Pfizer Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PFE#NYSE">PFE</a>) have declined after regulators narrowed the age group eligible for the shots and determined they would be a one-time vaccination for now.
This change excluded millions who were vaccinated last year, impacting demand.
Pharmacists report that the demand for RSV vaccines has dropped by up to two-thirds compared to last year. Reuters highlights that data from healthcare analytics company IQVIA Holdings, Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IQV#NYSE">IQV</a>) supports these claims.
For Pfizer and GSK, RSV vaccines are critical as they seek to build new revenue streams before facing generic competition for their top-selling drugs.
Pfizer is already struggling with weak demand for its COVID-19 products and pressure from activist investor Starboard Value.
Despite a disappointing launch for its RSV vaccine Abrysvo in 2023, Reuters notes that CEO Albert Bourla remains optimistic about its potential in the U.S. market this year.
In 2023, an average of 440,000 people per week received RSV vaccines from GSK and Pfizer in September, with 65% opting for GSK&#8217;s Arexvy. However, this September, the weekly average fell to 157,000.
Pharmacists in Nebraska and Iowa have seen bookings drop by 65% compared to last year, while Pharmacy in New York reported an even steeper decline.
On Tuesday, GSK announced new data from the AReSVi-006 phase 3 trial of a single dose of Arexvy&nbsp;in adults aged 60 years and older, including those at increased risk, over <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/10/b41224360/gsk-presents-positive-data-for-arexvy-its-respiratory-syncytial-virus-rsv-vaccine-indicating-prote" rel="noreferrer noopener">three full RSV seasons</a>.
Results indicate that after a single dose of GSK&#8217;s RSV vaccine, cumulative efficacy over three full RSV seasons was clinically meaningful at 62.9% against RSV-LRTD and 67.4% against severe RSV-LRTD compared to placebo.
In the third season, the vaccine&#8217;s efficacy was 48.0% against RSV-LRTD. These results include efficacy against different RSV subtypes in adults with advancing age (70-79 years) and those with certain underlying medical conditions.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

Here's How Much $1000 Invested In Parker Hannifin 20 Years Ago Would Be Worth Today

On Sunday, The Guardian issued an article that spoke of a UK study that could transform how cancer is treated. The large-scale clinical project assessed how personalized cancer therapies could revolutionize cancer treatment, joining in the global trend as pharmaceutical companies across the world turn to oncology for economic growth and opportunity to make history. As they continue to chase slices of covid vaccine revenue,&nbsp;Pfizer (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/pfe#NYSE">PFE</a>) and Moderna&nbsp;Inc (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/mrna#NASDAQ">MRNA</a>) have already turned to the pursuit of revolutionizing cancer therapies in order to create their new growth chapter in the post-COVID era. Therefore, mRNA technology, personalization of&nbsp;treatments and immunotherapy promise to fuel science to finally advance in the cancer battle.&nbsp;
More about UK&#39;s&nbsp;&pound;9 million project that focuses on ways of using immunotherapy&nbsp;to fight cancer.&nbsp;
The partnership between the Francis Crick Institute, five&nbsp;NHS trusts, charities and bioscience companies&nbsp;will take place over the course of four years, examining the effectiveness of new immunotherapy treatments along with exploring new ways of cancer detection. The project is part of a &pound;118 million incentive to create five new hubs across the UK to develop new health technologies that includes AI cancer diagnostics. Named as&nbsp;The Manifest project, the Crick Institute will lead the way in examining tumours and blood samples from 3,000 patients who have suffered from cancer in an effort to find which biomarkers &ndash; such as genes, proteins or molecules&nbsp;could indicate undetected cancer as well as the possibility of a relapse. Hopefully, the study will pave the way for the development of further immunotherapy treatment that would help the patients&rsquo; bodies to fight cancer as oppposed to aggressive treatments used nowadays which sometimes cause more harm than good.
Immunotherapy has already proven its effectiveness in cancer treatment.&nbsp;
Merck &amp; Co Inc (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/mrk#NYSE">MRK</a>) has already made its mark in immunotherapy with its&nbsp;Keytruda treatment. It also integrated it within a combined treatment for melanoma, together with the experimental mRNA vaccine it developed with Moderna. During summer, Moderna and Merck revealed encouraging data in patients who suffered with this deadly form of cancer. Moderna and Merck reported the combination of their experimental vaccine improved survival rates with almost 75% of patients being cancer-free during the two-and-a-half-year timeframe. The overall survival rate of patients that underwent the combined therapy that Moderna and Merck developed was as high as 96% during that same time frame.
A German company has already revolutionized early cancer detection
Molecular genetics diagnostic company specializing in the early detection of cancer, Mainz Biomed N.V. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/mynz#NASDAQ">MYNZ</a>), released a non-invasive test for one of the most common cancers in July this year. Allowing for early detection of colorectal cancer, ColoAlert is currently being commercialized across Europe and in select international markets while Mainz Biomed paves the way to the U.S. market with FDA evaluating its ReconAAsense clinical study. Today, Mainz Biomed revealed that there is increasing demand from both existing and prospective laboratory partners for its enhanced version of the ColoAlert that is set to become the standard offering to which existing partners will transition to. By integrating the Fecal Immunochemical Test (FIT) with proprietary mRNA biomarkers, an advanced AI and machine learning algorithm, studies showed that ColoAlert detects colorectal cancer with 97% sensitivity while also detecting a pre-cancerous condition called advanced adenomas with 88% sensitivity, with specify of 93%. Therefore, Mainz Biomed even tackled the area of cancer prevention and with a non-invasive test that can be taken easily by all those who are dreading getting a colonoscopy.
At the very least, the above innovations provide hope to all those suffering from this dreadful condition. While saving lives, pharmaceutical companies who succeed to revolutionize cancer treatment will also bring their domestic economies massive opportunities for growth, securing their status as a medical powerhouse as cancer is the one battle that science and technology has been failing to win for way too long.
