RBX2660 is a microbiota-based investigational product for fecal microbiota transplantation proposed to treat recurrent Clostridium difficile infection. It is derived from fresh stool from multiple donors; both donors and stool samples are methodically screened. Pooled stool samples are commercially prepared under good manufacturing processes. RB…
Horizon Scanning
It is a challenge for health plans and clinicians to know what emerging technologies are in the preapproval phase and what their clinical, financial, and risk impacts might be. This is where we come in.The Hayes Horizon Scanning Solution identifies innovative and potentially disruptive health technologies that are in various stages of the regulatory approval process. Our Research Analysts continually investigate new technologies that are on the horizon or in the early stages of clinical investigation, as well as the testing of existing technologies that may be seeking approval for new clinical applications. Hayes Horizon Scanning helps you track emerging technologies before you need to make decisions. Accessed through the Hayes Knowledge Center, Hayes Horizon Scanning addresses the following fundamental questions to help our clients forecast emerging technologies:
- Is this emerging technology new or replacing an existing technology?
- Where is this technology in the FDA regulatory process?
- When will this technology be commercially available in the market?
- What is the projected use, cost, and financial impact of this technology?

Olumiant (Baricitinib)
Baricitinib is a once daily, oral selective Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor for the treatment of adult patients with moderately to severely active rheumatoid arthritis who have had an inadequate response to 1 or more tumor necrosis factor (TNF) antagonist therapies. JAK inhibitors are small molecules that interrupt intracellular signaling pathways in the inflammatory cycle by inhibiting the activ…
Senhance Surgery System for Robotic Surgery
The Senhance Surgery System (formerly Telelap ALF-X) is a robotic surgery platform intended for use in laparoscopic surgery. The Senhance system is the first robotic system that brings haptic force feedback to robotic surgery. This feature enables the surgeon to feel the level of force applied during delicate tasks and is proposed to lead to improved safety and allow certain maneuvers to be pe…
Xeljanz (Tofacitinib) for Ulcerative Colitis
Xeljanz is an oral Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor for the treatment of adult patients with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC). Xeljanz is the first oral therapy to be FDA-approved for the treatment of moderately to severely active UC.
Aimovig (Erenumab)
Aimovig is a novel monoclonal antibody targeted to calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) for migraine prevention. CGRP is involved in vasodilation and sensory transmission, and is a validated target that is believed to play a key role in migraine headache. Aimovig targets the CGRP receptor; this mechanism differentiates it from other investigational anti-CGRP antibodies, which bind to the lig…
Kymriah (Tisagenlecleucel) for Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma
Kymriah (tisagenlecleucel, formerly CTL019) is an autologous CAR T-cell therapy, a novel type of immunotherapy in which a patient’s own genetically altered immune cells are used to attack cancer cells. The FDA approved Kymriah in August 2017 for the treatment of patients up to 25 years of age with B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia that is refractory or in second or later relapse. I…
AngelMed Guardian System
The AngelMed Guardian System is a single-lead, implantable cardiac device designed to detect acute ischemic events and to prompt the patient to seek medical attention for a potential acute coronary syndrome (ACS) event. The FDA approved this device in April 2018 for use an adjunct to patient-recognized symptoms predictive of ACS in patients who have had prior acute ACS events and who remain at…
Ribaxamase (SYN-004)
Ribaxamase is an investigational oral recombinant beta lactamase enzyme that binds with and degrades intravenous (IV) beta-lactam antibiotics that are excreted into the intestines, thus potentially protecting the gut from opportunistic enteric infections without compromising antibiotic therapy. It is proposed for co-administration with certain intravenous beta-lactam antibiotics to prevent …
