CD3/BCMA/GPRC5D Tri-Specific Antibody MBS314 Approved in Phase I/II Clinical Trial for the Treatment of Multiple Myeloma

Recently, MBS314, an innovative tri-specific antibody product developed by Beijing Mabworks Biotech Company Limited (hereinafter referred to as “Mabworks”) in collaboration with Kangyuan Botron Biotechnology (Beijing) Limited, has obtained the Notice of Approval for Clinical Trial of Drugs issued by the State Drug Administration of the People’s Republic of China (SDA), which authorizes the conduct of Phase I/II clinical trial for the treatment of multiple myeloma. Myeloma. MBS314 is a new mechanism of tri-specific antibody targeting CD3/BCMA/GPRC5D for the treatment of multiple myeloma.MBS314 has a differentiated CD3 binding epitope, which is able to achieve low-affinity but long-lasting activation and killing effect with T-cells, with better safety; at the same time, it binds BCMA and GPRC5D with high affinity, which is able to overcome BCMA and GPRC5D tumor cell killing effect in the body of the patient. At the same time, the high affinity combination of BCMA and GPRC5D can overcome ...

GFH009 disrupts growth signals and triggers apoptosis in hematologic malignancies

A new research paper was published in Oncotarget’s Volume 14 on December 20, 2023, entitled, “The pharmacodynamic and mechanistic foundation for the antineoplastic effects of GFH009, a potent and highly selective CDK9 inhibitor for the treatment of hematologic malignancies.” To evade cell cycle controls, malignant cells rely upon rapid expression of select proteins to mitigate pro-apoptotic signals resulting from damage caused by both cancer treatments and unchecked over-proliferation. Cyclin-dependent kinase 9 (CDK9)-dependent signaling induces transcription of downstream oncogenes promoting tumor growth, especially in hyperproliferative ‘oncogene-addicted’ cancers, such as human hematological malignancies (HHMs). In this new study, researchers Fusheng Zhou, Lili Tang, Siyuan Le, Mei Ge, Dragan Cicic, Fubo Xie, Jinmin Ren, Jiong Lan, and Qiang Lu from GenFleet Therapeutics Inc. and Sellas Life Sciences Group aimed to summarize current knowledge underlying the mechanism of action (MOA) of GFH009 and explain its robust anti-cancer activity. “Understanding GFH009’s MOA allows for a ...

Opdualag licensed for patients with advanced melanoma

The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has today (27 December) approved the advanced melanoma medicine Opdualag (nivolumab-relatlimab) for patients from the age of 12. This is a cancer medicine used to treat advanced melanoma, a type of skin cancer that can spread to other areas of the body. The main risk factor for melanoma is exposure to ultraviolet light, which comes from the sun and is used in sunbeds. Around 17,000 cases of melanoma are diagnosed every year in the UK, although not all of those are advanced melanoma. Opdualag has been authorised through Project Orbis, a global partnership between the MHRA, the Therapeutics Goods Administration in Australia, Health Canada, the Health Sciences Authority in Singapore, Swissmedic, Agência Nacional de Vigilância Sanitária in Brazil and Israel’s Ministry of Health, coordinated by the US Food and Drug Administration. This programme reviews and approves promising cancer drugs, helping patients to ...

Johns Hopkins researchers find minimal regret after gender affirming surgery

In a Viewpoint article published Dec. 27, 2023, in JAMA Surgery, three Johns Hopkins researchers urge the medical community to dismiss a widely held, but scientifically unsupported belief that many people who are transgender and gender diverse (TGD), and undergo gender affirming surgery (GAS), later regret their decision to undergo such procedures. The researchers are: Harry Barbee, Ph.D., assistant professor and interdisciplinary social scientist at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health; Bashar Hassan, M.D., a postdoctoral research fellow in plastic and reconstructive surgery at the Johns Hopkins Center for Transgender and Gender Expansive Health (CTH) and the University of Maryland Medical Center’s R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center; Fan Liang, M.D., medical director at the CTH and assistant professor of plastic and reconstructive surgery at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine In their article, the three report findings from a retrospective look at the limited amount of ...

Key Leadership Lessons for Biotech Executives from a Hospital Administrator

While it may appear that hospital administrators and biotech CEOs have quite dissimilar jobs because they face different challenges daily, this article attempts to conveys the value of some of the underlying principles that one can develop in the field of hospital administration, that may have some value in other healthcare fields and in other executive positions. By PETE O’HEERON When one thinks of the dynamic biotech landscape, with many early-stage firms delving into therapies for diverse maladies, such as cancer or heart disease, to any of a number of rare diseases, the executive leadership image that arises is certainly quite different than one might imagine for a healthcare executive, such as a hospital administrator. While patient health might be an end goal for both, the milieu within which they operate is seemingly quite distinct. It is certainly not typical for individuals to transition between these two realms, and yet, ...

Pfizer’s Hospira recall spree bleeds into 2024 with product pulls for multiple hospital drugs in shortage

After a year plagued by recalls, Pfizer’s sterile injectables unit Hospira seems no closer to righting the ship over its glass-contamination woes. What’s more, the company’s latest product pulls threaten to intensify the ongoing shortages of several critical hospital drugs. Shortly before the holiday, Pfizer’s Hospira announced two separate recalls over the potential presence of glass particulates in vials and syringes of certain meds. In the case of injectable cancer medication bleomycin—of which Hospira is recalling one lot—a confirmed customer report alerted the company to the presence of glass particulates within a single vial, the company said in a notice posted on the FDA’s website. The second recall, which covers three drugs—two strengths of injectable sodium bicarbonate, plus one lot of atropine sulfate injection—kicked off after the company flagged “the potential presence of glass particulate matter” during routine product inspection. In both cases, Pfizer and Hospira said they hadn’t received ...
