Oral peptides are on the rise

Next, let’s turn our attention to the international stage and first focus on AbbVie’s latest merger and acquisition. On December 13, AbbVie announced that it would acquire privately held company Nimble Therapeutics for $200 million in cash, targeting a preclinical development of an investigational oral peptide IL23R inhibitor for the treatment of psoriasis, as well as other new oral peptide products for various autoimmune diseases. This also highlights a trend that the oral peptide market is beginning to rise in the autoimmune treatment market. In the field of oral peptide IL23R inhibitors, there was good news in November: Johnson & Johnson announced that the ICONIC-LEAD clinical study obtained top-line results, which means that the world’s first targeted oral peptide Icotrokinra that selectively blocks IL-23 receptors will soon be on the market. From a clinical positioning perspective, oral peptide drugs are a good supplement to injectable preparations due to their compliance ...

【EXPERT Q&A】Can imported medical devices be commissioned to domestic third party production?

Drugdu.com expert’s response: The direct commissioning of domestic third-party production for imported medical devices is not permitted. This regulation is primarily based on the stringent quality control and regulatory requirements for medical device production. Due to the differences in medical device regulatory systems across different countries and regions, directly commissioning domestic third-party production may pose risks in terms of quality and regulation. However, the registrant of imported medical devices can produce Class II and Class III medical devices that have already obtained imported medical device registration certificates within China through a foreign-invested enterprise established within the territory. This approach requires meeting certain conditions, such as no changes to the product design and maintaining a consistent quality system, to ensure that there are no significant changes to the safety and effectiveness of the products. Additionally, the original imported registration certificate must be valid; if it has expired or been cancelled, it ...

Liu Yongjun resigns from CSPC

Liu Yongjun resigned at the speed of light. On December 9, according to media reports, Liu Yongjun had resigned from CSPC, just three months after the official announcement of joining. On September 9 this year, CSPC issued an announcement on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, announcing the appointment of Liu Yongjun as the group’s executive president and global R&D president, responsible for the group’s R&D, pipeline strategy and international business development. It may be rare in the industry for a senior executive in this position to resign within three months. Combined with a series of personnel, capital and innovation strategy changes from CSPC to its innovative pharmaceutical subsidiary in the past three months, it can be seen that CSPC may be facing certain challenges in innovation, R&D, and internationalization. This also highlights the fact that the transformation of most traditional pharmaceutical companies may end in failure. After all, innovation cannot ...

It is not surprising that aspirin costs 3 cents a piece

In the tenth batch of national procurement, aspirin has become the focus. The core reason is that in this batch of centralized procurement, the price of enteric-coated aspirin tablets is as low as 3 cents a piece. The market is worried that excessive pursuit of low prices in centralized procurement may hurt companies, after all, this will affect profits; at the same time, it may also cause drug quality problems, and some media even lead the rhythm: “Do you dare to take drugs that cost 3 cents a piece in centralized procurement?” The market’s concerns are understandable, but most of the emotions may be redundant. First of all, due to the simple synthesis process and cheap raw materials, the cost of aspirin itself is not high. In Europe and the United States, the unit price of aspirin is basically in “cents”. The article “What is the level of 3 cents ...

Want to win again with CAR-T

Gilead has been in Mercury retrograde in the past two years. Apart from long-acting HIV therapy, there is almost no good news, especially in the anti-tumor field where Gilead continues to increase its layout. It can even be said that the harder it tries, the more disappointed it is. Not only has it suffered a lot in the layout of TIGIT, but since this year, Trodelvy has failed in clinical trials, resulting in a high probability that the $21 billion acquisition of Immunomedics will be difficult to recover, and the $4.9 billion investment in the CD47 field is even more lost. Of course, even after paying a huge tuition fee, Gilead is still fighting for growth, active in the field of tumor BD, betting on new products and new technologies. At present, compared with these earlier bets, Gilead obviously hopes to win again with CAR-T. Recently, the clinical data of ...
