Introduction: Has the best potential in its class Recently, Weili Zhibo announced that its independently developed Class 1 new drug LBL-034, which has global intellectual property rights, has been granted orphan drug status by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of multiple myeloma (MM). LBL-034 is a new generation of humanized bispecific T cell linker antibody targeting GPRC5D and CD3, developed using LeadsBody TM, a CD3 bispecific technology platform independently developed by Weili Libo with intellectual property rights. It is the third CD3 T cell linker targeting GPRC5D to enter the clinical stage worldwide. Figure 1: GPRC5D/CD3 dual antibody under global research Image source: Pharmaceutical Intelligence Data Multiple myeloma (MM) is a malignant plasma cell disease caused by abnormal proliferation of clonal plasma cells, accounting for approximately 10% of hematological malignancies and 1% of all tumor diseases. MM is still an incurable malignant tumor. With ...
Preface B cells are the only cell type capable of differentiating into antibody secreting cells (plasma cells), and they can also present antigens to T cells and produce cytokines. By producing cytokines, B cells affect multiple aspects of immunity: cytokines derived from B cells, including lymphotoxins, are crucial for the individual development, homeostasis, and activation of secondary lymphoid organs, as well as the development of tertiary lymphoid tissue in ectopic sites; Other cytokines derived from B cells, such as interleukin-6 (IL-6), interferon – γ, and tumor necrosis factor, can affect the development of effector cells and memory CD4+T cell responses; Finally, B cells can regulate inflammatory immune responses by secreting IL-10 and IL-35, and “regulatory B cells” are the main source of inhibitory cytokines derived from these B cells in the body. The role of B cells in tissue development and repair Lymphatic organogenesis is mainly regulated by lymphoid tissue ...
Pfizer – after starting a showdown with a radical investor, being betrayed by two former executives, reuniting with two former executives, and ending work on an RSV drug – finally has some good news, straightforward. On Friday, the FDA approved Pfizer’s hemophilia A or B drug Marstacimab, which will be sold under the Hympavzi brand. This therapy is an anti tissue factor pathway inhibitor that helps hemophilia patients form blood clots to limit their bleeding episodes. A Pfizer spokesperson stated in an email to Endpoint News that the wholesale procurement cost for this weekly drug is $795600 per year, which is consistent with the WAC pricing for available prophylactic treatments for hemophilia A or B. It plans to start selling this drug this quarter. This drug is packaged as a pre filled automatic injection pen, which analysts say can help it find a place in the market. Given the maturity ...

On September 29, 2024, two acceptance numbers for Junshi Biosciences’s PCSK9 antibody marketing application were notified, indicating that they have not been approved (possibly due to voluntary withdrawal or pending approval). In April 2023, Junshi Biosciences received 4 acceptance numbers for its PCSK9 antibody market application, of which 2 were notified this time, and the other 2 have not yet received results. Four acceptance numbers involve two specifications (pre filled syringes, pre filled automatic syringes) and two indications. This two notifications indicate that a certain specification or indication has not been approved. The competition for PCSK9 targets is particularly fierce. In addition to antibodies from Amgen and Sanofi, PCSK9 antibodies from Sinovac Biotech and PCSK9 siRNA from Novartis have already been approved for marketing. Among them, Novartis’ PCSK9 siRNA only needs to be administered once every six months. For this target, there are more differentiated products under development, including Merck’s ...
