Maker of unproven birth drug Makena to pull from US market

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:12:52 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — The maker of an unproven drug intended to prevent premature births says it will voluntarily remove the product from the U.S., after regulators signaled plans to follow through on a long-delayed effort to force it from the market.The drug, Makena, is a synthetic version of the hormone progesterone, which is needed to maintain a pregnancy. It’s the only drug with FDA approval to reduce the risk of premature birth.The removal announcement Tuesday from Covis Pharma comes roughly four years after Makena failed to show a benefit in helping mothers carry pregnancies to term.Since then the Food and Drug Administration has been moving to get the drug off the market, though Covis has repeatedly appealed for more time to conduct additional research. The injectable drug has become a symbol for the challenges the FDA faces to withdraw a medication when the manufacturer won’t do so voluntarily.Indeed, the timing of the drug’s removal remains uncertain. Covis, based in Switzerlan...

Científicos revivieron un virus “zombi” que pasó 48.500 años congelado en permafrost

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:12:52 GMT

(CNN) — Las temperaturas más cálidas en el Ártico han llevado al derretimiento del permafrost de la región —una capa congelada de suelo bajo tierra— y potencialmente removido virus que, después de permanecer inactivos durante decenas de miles de años, podrían poner en peligro la salud de animales y humanos.Aunque la posibilidad de una pandemia a raíz de una enfermedad de hace siglos parece la trama de una película de ciencia ficción, científicos advierten que los riesgos, si bien son bajos, se subestiman. Los desechos químicos y radiactivos que se remontan a la Guerra Fría, con potencial para dañar la vida silvestre y alterar los ecosistemas, también pueden liberarse durante los deshielos.“Están sucediendo muchas cosas con el permafrost que preocupan, y esto demuestra por qué es muy importante que mantengamos la mayor cantidad posible de permafrost congelado”, señaló Kimberley Miner, científica climática del Laboratorio de Propulsión a a Reacción de la NASA, en el Instituto de...

Maryland officials make pitch to GSA on new FBI headquarters

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:12:52 GMT

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — Maryland Gov. Wes Moore and members of the state’s congressional delegation renewed their pitch to build a new FBI headquarters in Maryland on Wednesday, criticizing the selection process for lacking transparency — and noting it would cost taxpayers at least $1 billion more to build in Virginia, and take longer. Moore and Maryland lawmakers focused on an abrupt change in criteria in September 2022 that put extra weight on putting the headquarters near the FBI Academy in Quantico, Virginia, even though consideration of a new headquarters has been going on for over a decade.“We started out believing that there was going to be one set of rules — that the 100-yard dash was going to be the 100-yard dash — and then, when we start to run in the game, all of a sudden it’s a 200-yard dash, and then in September of last year, somebody put their finger on the scale and changed the rules,” Rep. Kweisi Mfume, a Democrat, said after a meeting with representatives...
