The European Medicines Agency (EMA) has validated Philogen and Sun Pharmaceutical’s marketing authorisation application (MAA) for Nidlegy, a treatment for melanoma. Nidlegy is an investigational treatment for neoadjuvant (before surgical procedure) locally advanced fully resectable melanoma. The application, submitted on 4 June 2024, is based on data from the Phase III PIVOTAL study and a Phase II trial. The international, multicentre, randomised, comparator-controlled, parallel-group PIVOTAL trial assessed the efficacy and safety of Nidlegy as a neoadjuvant treatment in melanoma patients with locally advanced, fully resectable cutaneous, subcutaneous or nodal metastases accessible to intratumoural injection. A total of 256 patients were enrolled across 22 clinical centres in Italy, Germany, France and Poland. Results from the PIVOTAL trial showed that Nidlegy reduced the relapse or mortality risk by 41% versus the control arm, with a significant improvement in median recurrence-free survival and distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS). Nidlegy’s safety profile was characterised by ...

In a significant advancement for endometriosis diagnosis, Serac Healthcare, in collaboration with the University of Oxford, has presented new data showcasing the effectiveness of 99mTc-maraciclatide in imaging the earliest stage of the disease. The DETECT study’s findings, presented by Dr. Tatjana Gibbons at the European Endometriosis Congress, reveal the agent’s potential as a non-invasive diagnostic tool. The study involved imaging the first ten patients with suspected endometriosis using a SPECT-CT camera, followed by laparoscopic surgery to confirm the presence and location of endometriotic lesions. The imaging results aligned with surgical and histological reports, suggesting that 99mTc-maraciclatide could accurately identify superficial peritoneal endometriosis, which accounts for approximately 80% of all diagnoses and is typically only detectable through surgery. David Hail, CEO of Serac Healthcare, expressed optimism about the findings: “The promising initial findings have been further confirmed by more patients in this study indicating the very exciting possibility that maraciclatide has ...

AstraZeneca’s Tagrisso and Imfinzi helped patients live longer in separate pivotal clinical trials evaluating the drugs in two different types of lung cancer. The results will be presented Sunday during the annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology. By Frank VinluanAstraZeneca, which already has a strong presence in lung cancer, is poised to deepen its reach in the disease with clinical data that support expanding the use of two of its approved therapies in ways that clinicians say will change the standard of care for many patients. The data are set for presentation Sunday during the annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) in Chicago. First up is the targeted therapy osimertinib, which is marketed under the brand name Tagrisso. The small molecule blocks mutated forms of the EGFR protein, which drives cancer growth. The drug is already approved for use as a first-line treatment ...

To win the battle against rare diseases, drug developers must work hand-in-hand with patients. By Sharon KingMy colleagues and I were privileged earlier this year to meet with a caregiver and a young patient living with a rare form of pediatric cancer, who shared their stories and inspiring words of encouragement for the biopharmaceutical industry. Their message resonated with all who were there: Together we are working toward a world where every cure is possible. It’s a big vision. Every day, more than 400 million people around the world are battling a rare disease. Many of those people are facing a scarcity of treatment options, often limited to drug regimens that haven’t been updated in decades and that do little to cure the illness or even slow down the progression of symptoms. Patient communities have long known that working together is the key to making progress, and they have created ...
