September 23, 2024 – The clinical trial application (IND) for Pan-KRAS inhibitor JAB-23E73 independently developed by JACOBIO was approved in the United States, and a Phase I/IIa clinical trial for advanced solid tumors will be conducted in the United States. The IND application for China has been submitted, and clinical trials will be conducted in China simultaneously after approval. KRAS is widely present in a variety of tumor mutations. 23%-25% of cancer patients have KRAS mutations. About 2.7 million new tumor patients with KRAS-related mutations each year are expected to benefit from Pan-KRAS inhibitors. JAB-23E73 can inhibit both active and inactive KRAS, and has no significant inhibition on HRAS and NRAS. As an oral KRAS inhibitor, JAB-23E73’s preclinical data showed good pharmacokinetic properties. JACOBIO is committed to providing patients with breakthrough treatment options. The company’s research projects are based on the six major tumor signaling pathways of KRAS, tumor immunity, ...

On September 11, 2024, Johnson & Johnson announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved Tremfya (guselkumab) for the treatment of moderate to severe active ulcerative colitis (UC) in adult patients. The company claims that Tremfya is the first and only dual-action inhibitor targeting interleukin 23 (IL-23) approved for the treatment of active ulcerative colitis, further solidifying Johnson & Johnson’s leadership in the field of inflammatory bowel disease. Guselkumab is the first approved interleukin 23 (IL-23) inhibitor in the world, selectively binding to the p19 subunit of IL-23 to inhibit its interaction with the IL-23 receptor. It has shown strong efficacy for various autoimmune diseases; it can block IL-23 while also binding to the CD64 receptors on cells that produce IL-23. It is currently approved for the treatment of plaque psoriasis, active psoriatic arthritis, and UC. Furthermore, in June 2024, Johnson & Johnson submitted a supplemental Biologics ...

Sun Pharmaceutical Industries has secured the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for its oral Janus kinase (JAK) Inhibitor Leqselvi (deuruxolitinib) to treat severe alopecia areata. Originally developed by Concert Pharmaceuticals, Sun Pharma inherited the asset when it purchased Concert Pharmaceuticals in January 2023 for $576m. Alopecia areata is an autoimmune condition where the immune system attacks hair follicles, leading to sudden, patchy hair loss. JAK inhibitors such as Leqselvi block the activity of Janus kinase enzymes, which are involved in the signalling pathways that drive inflammation and immune responses. The FDA approval is based on data gathered from two Phase III studies—THRIVE-AA1 and THRIVE-AA2 (NCT04518995 and NCT04797650)—where Leqselvi restored scalp hair coverage by at least 80% in more than 30% of patients after 24 weeks. The 1,220 patients enrolled across the two studies had alopecia areata with at least 50% scalp hair loss as measured by Severity of ...
