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?

Organ Care System (OCS) Lung

The Organ Care System (OCS) Lung is a portable organ perfusion, ventilation, and monitoring medical device intended to preserve donor lungs in a near physiologic, ventilated, and perfused state for transplantation. Commonly referred to as the “lung in a box,” it is a portable device on a removable mobile base that integrates a wireless monitor, perfusion module, ventilator, batteries, gas cyli…

Tymlos (Abaloparatide)

Tymlos is a synthetic peptide analog of parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) for the treatment of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women who are at increased risk for fracture or have failed or are intolerant to other available osteoporosis therapies. It is self-administered once daily by subcutaneous (SC) injection.

Bevyxxa (Betrixaban)

Bevyxxa is a potent and specific inhibitor of human factor Xa activity that acts by competitively binding to the active site of factor Xa, preventing its ability to convert prothrombin to thrombin. It is the first non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulant (NOAC) approved by the FDA for venous thromboembolism (VTE) prophylaxis in hospitalized acute medically ill adult patients who are at risk…

Nerlynx (Neratinib) for Extended Adjuvant Treatment of Breast Cancer

Nerlynx (neratinib) is an oral tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) recently approved by the FDA for extended adjuvant treatment of early-stage human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)–positive breast cancer in patients who have completed standard adjuvant therapy with Herceptin (trastuzumab). Neratinib blocks signal transduction through the epidermal growth factor receptors (EGFR) HER1, HER…

Erleada (Apalutamide)

Erleada is an oral androgen receptor inhibitor approved by the FDA for the treatment of nonmetastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.

Kymriah (Tisagenlecleucel) for Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia

Kymriah is an autologous chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy that targets the CD19 surface antigen expressed in aggressive B-cell malignancies. It is produced by adapting the patient’s own immune cells with tumor antigen recognition and T-cell activation domains. The process of producing Kymriah begins with collecting peripheral blood mononuclear cells from the patient via leukapher…

Rydapt (Midostaurin) for Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Rydapt is a twice daily oral FLT3 inhibitor for the treatment of newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that is FLT3 mutation-positive as detected by an FDA-approved test, in combination with standard cytarabine and daunorubicin induction and cytarabine consolidation. Rydapt is also FDA approved for treatment of aggressive systemic mastocytosis (ASM), systemic mastocytosis with as…

Sentinel Cerebral Protection System (CPS)

AquaBeam Aquablation Waterjet Tissue Resection for BPH

AquaBeam is a minimally invasive medical device that allows rapid removal of prostate tissue without leaving a zone of thermal damage on the treated tissue. The AquaBeam device combines image guidance and robotics with a high pressure saline jet for targeted and heat-free removal of prostate tissue. It is intended for treatment of  lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) due to benign prostat…

Yescarta (Axicabtagene Ciloleucel)

Yescarta (axicabtagene ciloleucel) is an autologous chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy. It is produced by adapting the patient’s own immune cells to recognize and attack specifically targeted cancer cells. Yescarta is FDA-approved to treat adult patients with relapsed/refractory aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) who have undergone at least 2 previous treatments for their…
