Another GLP-1 drug king, is it on the way?

Recently, the Q3 financial reports of MNCs have been released one after another, and some are happy and some are sad. When a number of MNCs began to lower their full-year EPS, Amgen’s Q3 financial report earnings gave a high score answer sheet. Among them, Amgen’s total revenue in the third quarter increased by 23%, and its GAAP net earnings per share (EPS) increased by 62% year-on-year, from US$3.22 to US$5.22. What is more imaginative is that with the data catalysis of the new macromolecular weight loss drug AMG133, this macromolecular antibody that goes against the grain and antagonizes GIPR may become Amgen’s next gold mine. According to Amgen’s Q3 2024 financial report, the most significant year-on-year growth is LUMAKRAS (AMG510) – a targeted drug for KRASG12C mutation-positive lung cancer. The sales ceiling of this gene mutation in European and American countries will be much higher than that in Asian ...

NMN can prevent physical decline and poor sleep

Walking speed reflects the vitality of the muscles, bones, nerves and cardiovascular system, so our walking speed can also predict our lifespan. After the age of 65, our walking speed gradually decreases, and eventually our daily life will be affected, greatly reducing our quality of life. Therefore, it is very important to keep muscles, bones, nerves and heart healthy through endurance and resistance training. Exercise may be the best way to prevent slow walking. However, poor sleep quality and low energy levels may prevent many people from sticking with exercise. In addition, poor sleep quality and fatigue may be the cause of low NAD+ levels. Recently, Japanese scientists published a research article titled “Ingestion of β-nicotinamide mononucleotide increased blood NAD levels, maintained walking speed, and improved sleep quality in older adults in a double-blind randomized, placebo-controlled study” in the journal “GeroScience”. The results showed that supplementing NMN can prevent physical ...

$1.4 billion deal highlights the future of Alzheimer’s disease therapy

The development of therapies for Alzheimer’s disease has always caused many developers to feel exhausted, and now AbbVie has also increased its investment in neurodegenerative diseases. AbbVie has agreed to spend $1.4 billion to acquire Aliada Therapeutics, whose main acquisition asset is Aliada’s authorized Alzheimer’s disease candidate drug ALIA-1758 from Johnson&Johnson. Its mechanism of action is still an anti beta amyloid protein (3pE-A β) antibody, but the unique feature of ALIA-1758 is that it can cross the blood-brain barrier, greatly improving the brain’s absorption rate. Aliada started a phase 1 trial among healthy volunteers in May, but AbbVie believes the timing is ripe for acquisition. Previously, AbbVie made the decision to abandon its internal Alzheimer’s disease asset ABBV-916. This anti beta amyloid antibody has no significant difference in safety and efficacy compared to the already marketed monoclonal antibody therapy for Alzheimer’s disease. Therefore, AbbVie decided to terminate the development ...

COVID-19 drugs have become a “dark horse”

The success and failure of COVID-19 are the market’s summary of Pfizer in the past few years. In 2022, COVID-19 vaccines and COVID-19 oral drugs brought Pfizer up to $57 billion in revenue. Relying on the wealth brought by COVID-19 products, Pfizer’s revenue exceeded $100 billion this year, setting a new record for the highest revenue of major pharmaceutical companies. However, as the COVID-19 pandemic dissipated, the global market demand for COVID-19 products fell sharply, and Pfizer was the first to bear the brunt. Faced with the “COVID-19 cliff”, Pfizer had to continue to lower its revenue expectations, and the company’s stock price continued to fall. Last year, it fell by more than 40% throughout the year, and its market value evaporated by nearly $130 billion. In this year’s third quarter report, Pfizer handed in a report card that far exceeded market expectations. Revenue in the third quarter reached $17.7 ...
