Monday, July 10, 2023

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., July 10, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- New research from Cornerstone Advisors, a leading management and technology consultancy for banks, credit unions and fintech firms, reveals how legislation that mandated debit card payment routing and interchange price caps has negatively impacted the nation's banking system and consumers. The study also indicates that newly proposed credit card routing legislation will produce similar negative effects.

Key Points: 
  • The study also indicates that newly proposed credit card routing legislation will produce similar negative effects.
  • "Think of it as regulatory 'whack-a-mole,' where a reduction in revenue from government regulation in one category forces multiple fee-generating categories to rise," said Glenn Grossman, director of research for Cornerstone Advisors and author of the report.
  • "Debit and credit card price controls harm both consumers and the banking system," Grossman said.
  • "Given their much more limited resources, community financial institutions and the customers they serve will suffer disproportionately from these rules."

WASHINGTON, June 22, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy (PPMD), a nonprofit organization leading the fight to end Duchenne muscular dystrophy (Duchenne), heralded today's decision by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to approve the first-ever U.S. application for a gene therapy treatment for Duchenne patients ages 4-5 years old. ELEVIDYS (delandistrogene moxeparvovec-rokl) is the sixth approved therapy in Duchenne and the first therapy to replace the missing dystrophin protein by using a modified smaller version of the dystrophin gene, called micro-dystrophin, to produce a modified micro-dystrophin protein. ELEVIDYS will be made available and marketed in the United States by Sarepta Therapeutics.

Key Points: 
  • Despite the incredible advances made with five prior drug approvals for Duchenne, our community continues to have significant unmet needs.
  • Today's approval of a dystrophin replacement strategy further builds upon, and extends, the positive impact of Duchenne therapy development to date," said PPMD Founding President and CEO Pat Furlong.
  • PPMD has long been optimistic that gene therapy could be a potential treatment for Duchenne.
  • PPMD launched its Gene Therapy Initiative in 2017 as a long-term concept seeking to accelerate the potential of gene therapy as a therapeutic for Duchenne.
