Recently, The Lancet published a new centralized, participant level analysis of heart failure patients with mild reduced ejection fraction or preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) from four randomized placebo-controlled trials (2.4 mg for SELECT, STEP-HFpEF, STEP-HFpEF DM; 1.0 mg/d). picture According to analysis, semaglutide reduced the composite risk of cardiovascular (CV) death or worsening heart failure (HF) events by 31%, with incidence rates of 5.4% in the semaglutide group and 7.5% in the placebo group (HR 0.69; 95% CI 0.53-0.89; P=0.0045). semaglutide also reduced the risk of HF worsening by 41% (2.8% vs. placebo 4.7%; HR 0.59 (95% CI 0.41-0.82), p=0.0019). Simeglutide had no significant effect on the incidence of CV mortality (3.1% in the Simeglutide group and 3.7% in the placebo group). Hr 0.82 (95% CI 0.57-1.16), p=0.25) The statistical analysis did not adjust for multiplicity, and the hazard ratio should not be used to infer definitive treatment efficacy. In ...
As we enter 2024, the global competition for “King of Medicine” is becoming increasingly fierce. In the first half of the year, Merck’s PD-1 monoclonal antibody pembrolizumab (trade name: Keytruda, “Keytruda”) successfully won the title of the world’s “king of medicine” with $14 billion. Novo Nordisk’s semaglutide (including 3 brands: Ozempic/Rybelsus/Wegovy) ranked second with sales of about $13 billion in the first half of this year, further narrowing the gap with Keytruda, and the year-on-year growth rate exceeded 40%, leaving suspense for the “king of medicine” competition in the second half of the year. On the other hand, in terms of sales growth, Eli Lilly’s tirpotide (including two brands: Mounjaro/Zepbound) grew 330% year-on-year in the first half of this year to $6.658 billion, making it the fastest-growing drug in history. Since its first indication was approved in 2022, it has grown into a super blockbuster with annual sales of over ...
So far, the 2024 medical insurance catalog adjustment has announced the drugs and related information that have passed the formal review. From the draft for comments, rare disease drugs are still one of the focuses of the medical insurance catalog adjustment. Rare diseases are also called “orphan diseases”. Most of them are congenital diseases, chronic diseases, and may be life-threatening. Although the incidence of rare diseases is low, there are many types of diseases and the number of patients cannot be underestimated. At present, there are more than 7,000 confirmed rare diseases in the world, and there are about 20 million rare disease patients in China1. For a long time, the clinical phenotypes of rare diseases and common diseases overlap greatly, and early diagnosis is difficult, so the misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis rates are high. According to statistics from the National Organization for Rare Diseases in the United States, among ...

In the United States, semaglutide is not approved for use in heart failure. This study is a summary and post hoc participant level analysis of 3743 patients with a history of HFpEF from four randomized trials, aimed at examining the ...

Biological Products Circle September 3, 2024 09:20 Hubei The following article is from the Engineering Bacteria Planet, written by the author Yaojun, who has doubled in numberCurrently, the FDA has approved multiple chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) – T-cell therapies for cancer immunotherapy. However, the production technology based on viral vectors and in vitro cell culture has led to high production costs and potential long-term side effects. With the development of mRNA and lipid nanoparticle (LNP) technology, the idea of in vivo delivery of CARs based on LNP, a non viral vector, is expected to be realized. The primary challenge faced by mRNA LNP mediated CAR-T therapy due to its liver tropism is how to achieve mRNA T cell targeting The use of antibody modified LNP (also known as antibody conjugated LNP, Ab LNP) is an effective solution. So, what are the markers on the surface of T cells and how ...
1. Cycles exist objectively, but they are not impossible to cross In recent years, the concept we first used was the “new normal”. The term “new normal” actually lowers social expectations in advance. Later, many experts introduced the concept of “cycle” with the intention of incorporating the current economic situation into a historical cycle. Admittedly, economic development has cycles, and even the spread of viruses has cycles. However, “today’s economic and social conditions should mainly be the result of active choices made by decision-makers. Cyclical factors have an effect but are not decisive, or the adjustment of development direction “encounters” cyclical factors”-excerpted from Du Chen’s “Our Times and Us in the Times”. 2. The current difficulties may only be the initial stage The “new cycle” has just begun, and we must be prepared for long-term hard work. Combining data from the National Bureau of Statistics, Minnet, IQVIA, etc., the average ...
Yuheng Pharmaceutical, founded by Zhu Jiman, the “Northeast Medicine King”, once became famous in the industry through continuous large-scale mergers and acquisitions of many pharmaceutical companies such as Auno Pharmaceutical and Shanghai Huatuo. In the end, it fell into a downturn due to frequent mergers and acquisitions. Recently, Yuheng Pharmaceutical handed in its first semi-annual report after the reorganization. The net profit attributable to the parent company in the first half of 2024 was 125 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 342.39%, and a substantial increase in profits. How did Yuheng Pharmaceutical recover so quickly? We have to talk about PD-1. There are many competitors in the PD-1/L1 field. In June 2024, the listing application of Enlangsubai monoclonal antibody of Shijiazhuang Pharmaceutical Group was officially approved. So far, there are at least 15 PD-1/L1 monoclonal antibodies approved for listing in China. The PD-1/L1 track, which is being chased by major ...
