Lapetus Launches Physician-Led Debit-Credit Life Expectancy Report at No Additional Cost
CHARLOTTE, N.C., May 07, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Lapetus Solutions is introducing a new Debit-Credit based Life Expectancy (LE) Report—a physician-led, and algorithm-based assessment that aligns with established market practices while leveraging Lapetus' core strengths—its clinical expertise and deep understanding of mortality and aging.
This rules-based system is derived from survival outcomes documented in the medical and scientific literature. LE estimates are guided by the insured's medical conditions and the physician's expert judgement, capturing the nuances of each case.
The Debit-Credit report will be delivered alongside the existing Clinical LE, which remains unchanged, providing clients with two distinct, medically-justified reports in one package. A summary page will highlight key differences and results for easy comparison.
Unlike the Clinical LE, which focuses on estimating individual lifespan, the Debit-Credit LE is designed to optimize actual-to-expected (A/E) performance. Back-testing across the full Lapetus database shows the model achieves an A/E ratio exceeding 99%.
Availability & Pricing
The Debit-Credit LE is currently available at no additional cost beyond the standard Lapetus LE. Initial availability of the combined Clinical and Debit-Credit LE package will be limited. Please reach out to your relationship manager for further details.

New Study Demonstrates AI-Powered Care Coordination Reduces Transfer Time and Improves Outcomes in Intracerebral Hemorrhage Patients
Real-world data highlights how accelerates access to ICH treatment SAN FRANCISCO, June 09, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- the leader in AI-powered disease detection and intelligent care coordination, today announced new clinical data showcasing the impact of Viz ICH and Viz ICH Plus in optimizing care for patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). The study, "Optimizing Intracerebral Hemorrhage Management and Interhospital Transfer With Viz ICH Plus AI Technology," highlights how AI-powered detection and quantification significantly reduced interhospital transfer (IHT) time, expediting treatment and improving patient outcomes. The case study features a 47-year-old patient with a right parieto-occipital hematoma who was rapidly identified by and transferred through the Neuroemergencies Management and Transfer (NEMAT) program. The use of Viz ICH and Viz ICH Plus cut the interhospital transfer time nearly in half - from an average of 200 minutes to just 101 minutes in this case - allowing the patient to undergo successful surgical evacuation and experience significant neurological recovery over the following year. "Viz ICH has transformed how we identify and triage patients with ICH," said Christopher Kellner, MD, Director of the Intracerebral Hemorrhage Program at Mount Sinai. "By accelerating diagnosis and enabling real-time alerts across teams and hospitals, this technology streamlines the entire transfer process, ensuring patients get the care they need without unnecessary delays." Intracerebral hemorrhage accounts for up to 15% of all strokes and has high morbidity and mortality rates, requiring rapid diagnosis and intervention. Accurate volume measurements of brain bleeds are crucial for assessing the severity of cases, monitoring progression, and guiding treatment decisions. However, these measurements have traditionally been manual and time consuming. Radiologists, neurologists and neurosurgeons can incorporate Viz ICH and Viz ICH Plus seamlessly into their workflows to automate this process and support faster, more efficient care decisions. In addition to reducing transfer time, AI-powered detection and quantification has demonstrated improved efficiency in clinical workflows, with faster hematoma volume estimation and more accurate assessments compared to manual methods. The study also highlights the scalability of the solution across large, complex hospital systems where specialized ICH care may only be available at select sites. "At we are committed to using AI to close the gaps in stroke care and bring faster, more accurate treatment to every patient—no matter where they first present," said Molly Madziva Taitt, Ph.D., VP of Global Clinical Affairs at "This study is a powerful example of how AI can reduce delays, support earlier interventions, and ultimately improve outcomes for patients with intracerebral hemorrhage."

U.S. FDA Approves Merck's ENFLONSIA™ (clesrovimab-cfor) for Prevention of Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) Lower Respiratory Tract Disease in Infants Born During or Entering Their First RSV Season
ENFLONSIA is a preventive monoclonal antibody designed to protect infants against a spectrum of RSV disease severity, including worsening disease requiring hospitalization ENFLONSIA is the first and only RSV preventive option administered to infants using the same dose regardless of weight RAHWAY, N.J., June 09, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Merck (NYSE: MRK), known as MSD outside of the United States and Canada, today announced the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved ENFLONSIA™ (clesrovimab-cfor) for the prevention of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) lower respiratory tract disease in neonates (newborns) and infants who are born during or entering their first RSV season. ENFLONSIA is a preventive, long-acting monoclonal antibody (mAb) designed to provide direct, rapid and durable protection through 5 months, a typical RSV season, with the same 105 mg dose regardless of weight. A typical RSV season usually spans autumn to spring of the next year. "RSV disease is the leading cause of infant hospitalization in the U.S. and can lead to serious respiratory conditions like bronchiolitis and pneumonia," said Dr. Octavio Ramilo, chair of the Department of Infectious Diseases at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and investigator for the CLEVER (MK-1654-004) and SMART (MK-1654-007) trials. "ENFLONSIA combines dosing convenience with strong clinical data showing significant reductions in RSV disease incidence and hospitalizations, making it a promising new intervention to help protect infants from RSV." ENFLONSIA should not be administered to infants with a history of serious hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, to any component of ENFLONSIA. See additional Selected Safety Information below. The approval is based on results from the pivotal Phase 2b/3 CLEVER trial (MK-1654-004) evaluating a single dose of ENFLONSIA administered to preterm and full-term infants (birth to 1 year of age). The trial met its primary and key secondary endpoints, as outlined below. ENFLONSIA demonstrated a reduction in incidence of RSV-associated medically attended lower respiratory infections (MALRI) requiring ≥1 indicator of lower respiratory infection (LRI) or severity compared to placebo through 5 months (primary endpoint) by 60.5% (95% CI: 44.2, 72.0, p<0.001) (incidence rates: ENFLONSIA, 0.026; placebo, 0.065). ENFLONSIA demonstrated a reduction in RSV-associated hospitalizations through 5 months (key secondary endpoint) by 84.3% (95% CI: 66.7, 92.6, p<0.001) (incidence rates: ENFLONSIA, 0.004; placebo, 0.024), showing increasing efficacy with increasing disease severity. The approval is also supported by results from the Phase 3 SMART trial (MK-1654-007) evaluating the safety and efficacy of ENFLONSIA versus palivizumab in infants at increased risk for severe RSV disease. "ENFLONSIA provides an important new preventive option to help protect healthy and at-risk infants born during or entering their first RSV season with the same dose regardless of weight," said Dr. Dean Y. Li, president, Merck Research Laboratories. "We are committed to ensuring availability of ENFLONSIA in the U.S. before the start of the upcoming RSV season to help reduce the significant burden of this widespread seasonal infection on families and health care systems." The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC's) Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices is expected to meet later this month to discuss and make recommendations for the use of ENFLONSIA in infants. Ordering is anticipated to begin in July, with shipments delivered before the start of the 2025-2026 RSV season. About ENFLONSIA™ (clesrovimab-cfor) ENFLONSIA (clesrovimab-cfor) is Merck's extended half-life monoclonal antibody (mAb) indicated for passive immunization for the prevention of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) lower respiratory tract disease in newborns and infants who are born during or entering their first RSV season. ENFLONSIA is administered using non-weight-based dosing and is designed to provide direct, rapid and durable protection through 5 months, a typical RSV season. For infants born during the RSV season, ENFLONSIA is to be administered starting from birth. For infants born outside of the RSV season, ENFLONSIA should be administered prior to the start of their first RSV season. For infants undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass during or entering their first RSV season, an additional 105 mg dose is recommended as soon as the infant is stable after surgery. Selected Safety Information for ENFLONSIA (clesrovimab-cfor) Do not administer ENFLONSIA to infants with a history of serious hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, to any component of ENFLONSIA. Serious hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, have been observed with other human immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1) monoclonal antibodies. If signs or symptoms of a clinically significant hypersensitivity reaction or anaphylaxis occur, initiate appropriate medications and/or supportive therapy. The most common adverse reactions were injection-site erythema (3.8%), injection-site swelling (2.7%) and rash (2.3%). About Clinical Trials and Data Supporting U.S. FDA Approval The CLEVER trial (MK-1654-004) (NCT04767373) was a Phase 2b/3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ENFLONSIA in early and moderate preterm infants (≥29 to <35 weeks gestational age [GA]) and late preterm and full-term infants (≥35 weeks GA) entering their first RSV season. Participants were randomized 2:1 to receive a single 105 mg dose of ENFLONSIA (N=2,411) or saline placebo (N=1,203) by intramuscular (IM) injection. The primary endpoint was the incidence of participants with RSV-associated medically attended lower respiratory infection (MALRI) characterized as cough or difficulty breathing and requiring ≥1 indicator of LRI (wheezing, rales/crackles) or severity (chest wall in-drawing/retractions, hypoxemia, tachypnea, dehydration due to respiratory symptoms) from Day 1 through Day 150 (5 months) after dosing. Medically attended includes all health care provider visits in settings such as outpatient clinic, clinical study site, emergency department, urgent care center and/or hospital. The key secondary endpoint was RSV-associated hospitalization through Day 150 (5 months). The trial demonstrated that the safety profile of ENFLONSIA in infants entering their first RSV season was generally comparable to placebo. The most common adverse reactions were injection-site erythema occurring within 5 days post-dose (ENFLONSIA: 3.8%; placebo: 3.3%), injection-site swelling occurring within 5 days post-dose (ENFLONSIA: 2.7%; placebo: 2.6%) and rash occurring within 14 days post-dose (ENFLONSIA: 2.3%; placebo: 1.9%). Participants were monitored for serious adverse events (SAEs) through the duration of their participation for up to 365 days post-dose. Most (≥97%) of the adverse reactions were toxicity grade 1 (mild) or grade 2 (moderate). The SMART trial (MK-1654-007) (NCT04938830) was a Phase 3, randomized, partially-blind, palivizumab-controlled, multi-site trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ENFLONSIA in infants at increased risk of severe RSV disease, including early (<29 weeks GA) or moderate preterm infants (≥29 to ≤35 weeks GA) and infants with chronic lung disease of prematurity or congenital heart disease of any GA. Participants were randomized 1:1 to receive ENFLONSIA (N=446) or palivizumab (N=450) by IM injection. Among infants at increased risk of severe RSV disease and entering their first RSV season, the trial demonstrated that the safety profile of ENFLONSIA was generally comparable to palivizumab and consistent with the safety profile of ENFLONSIA in infants in the CLEVER trial. The efficacy of ENFLONSIA in infants at increased risk for severe RSV disease was established by extrapolation of efficacy of ENFLONSIA from the CLEVER trial to the SMART trial based on similar pharmacokinetic exposure. The incidence rates of RSV-associated MALRI requiring ≥1 indicator of LRI or severity and RSV-associated hospitalization were generally comparable between ENFLONSIA (3.6%, 95% CI: 2.0, 6.0 and 1.3%, 95% CI: 0.4, 2.9, respectively) and palivizumab (2.9%, 95% CI: 1.5, 5.2 and 1.5%, 95% CI: 0.5, 3.2, respectively) through Day 150 (5 months). In clinical trials, when ENFLONSIA was given concomitantly with routine childhood vaccines, the safety profile of the co-administered regimen was generally comparable to the safety profile when ENFLONSIA and childhood vaccines were administered alone.
