In Race to Relief, Amgen Touts New But Incomplete Migraine Data.

A quartet of drugs that could prevent migraine headaches, not just treat the symptoms, are competing to get to market. Amgen (NASDAQ: AMGN) of Thousand Oaks, CA, announced Wednesday that its candidate, dubbed erenumab, met the main goal of a 667-patient mid-stage study. If a larger Phase 3 test that should wrap up soon also hits its marks, Amgen might be able to ask the FDA to review the drug for approval.

Amgen only outlined the Phase 2 data, however, and ISI Evercore analyst Mark Schoenebaum cautioned in a research note Wednesday that the firm would need to fill in details before a clearer picture of the trial emerged.

AirMule drone ambulance makes maiden flight.

A drone ambulance designed to airlift two people has taken autonomously to the air for the first time.

The AirMule, which can take off and land vertically, is designed for conditions where landing a helicopter is unfeasible – such as on a battlefield. The drone, made by Israeli company Tactical Robotics, has seen recent setbacks in development but is designed to carry up to 450kg up to 31 miles.

The single-engined, internal rotor drone took to the air from a temporary testing facility set up at the Megiddo airfield after gaining clearance from the Israeli Civil Aviation Authority for untethered flight.

The company plans to demonstrate the AirMule’s cargo-carrying capability within the year, with beyond-line-of-sight testing also scheduled.

The system, called the Anti-UAV Defence System (Auds), looks like a mounted turret but instead of shooting drones out of the sky with bullets, it fires nothing more menacing than radio waves.
