South African president calls on WHO for better mpox response

Amidst the global health emergency declared for mpox, the South African president has called for a greater emphasis on an equitable distribution of healthcare interventions. The World Health Organization (WHO), “must be different and correct the unfair treatment from the previous one [public health emergency] declared in 2022, where vaccines and therapeutics were developed and made available primarily to Western countries, with little support extended to Africa,” said Cyril Ramaphosa, the president of South Africa in a 17 August statement on the recent mpox outbreak in Africa. Ramaphosa called on the WHO to collaborate more closely with the Africa Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC) to allow wider access to vaccines, while countries in the African Union (AU) to increase domestic resource allocation. The AU is a continental union consisting of 55 African member states. Thus far, the AU has granted $10.4m in emergency funds to support Africa ...

New research reveals AI bowel cancer test can help patients avoid chemotherapy

A study led by researchers at the University of Leeds has revealed that a new artificial intelligence (AI) test to determine the risk of recurring bowel cancers could help patients avoid chemotherapy. The findings published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology Production could help doctors when deciding whether a patient needs chemotherapy following bowel cancer surgery. Found anywhere in the large bowel, bowel cancer is one of the most common cancers in the world, with 1.9 million cases diagnosed in 2020. In the UK alone, bowel cancer is the fourth most common cancer, affecting over 250,000 people. Researchers aimed to establish whether the number of CD3 cells within tumours could be used to predict the risk of a tumour coming back after surgery. In previous studies, bowel and rectal tumours with higher numbers of CD3 immune cells, which attack the cancer and help the body tackle the disease, have been ...

Researchers map interactions of 144 active substances to identify drug benefits

Researchers from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have successfully mapped the interactions of over 100 active substances with around 8,000 proteins to help identify previously unknown benefits of existing drugs. Published in Nature Biotechnology, researchers yielded more than one million dose-responsive curves, which demonstrated the mechanism behind the effects of active substances over the course of treatment. Precision medicine is designed to optimise efficiency or therapeutic benefit for particular groups of patients using genetic or molecular profiling to provide patients with the most individualised treatment possible. To do this, a precise understanding of what is happening at the cellular level is required. Researchers treated cells with various doses of 144 active substances, most of which are already being used in cancer treatment or are in the clinical approval stage. Once extracted, the team analysed proteins using mass spectrometry before studying the cell reactions using the data. In cancer, depending ...

【EXPERT Q&A】What is the export procedure of proprietary Chinese medicine?

Drugdu.com expert’s response: To successfully export proprietary Chinese medicines, the following processes are required: I. Preliminary Preparations Understanding Target Market Regulations: Prior to exporting traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs), enterprises must conduct thorough research on the relevant regulations of the target market, including import registration requirements, quality standards, and certification systems. This information is crucial for ensuring the smooth entry of TCMs into the target market. Product Preparation: a. Ensure that the exported TCMs comply with relevant quality standards and possess valid drug production licenses and drug registration certificates issued by the national drug regulatory authority. b. Prepare product specifications, labels, packaging, etc., ensuring they comply with the regulatory requirements of the target market. Finding Partners: Identify suitable partners, such as importers, agents, or distributors. Selecting the right partners can help enterprises better understand the target market and reduce export risks. II. Preparation of Application Materials Basic Information of Medicines: Detailed information on the TCMs ...

Novel Test Identifies Patients at High Risk of Esophageal Cancers

Barrett’s esophagus is a precancerous condition where chronic acid reflux damages the esophageal lining, increasing the risk of progressing to esophageal cancer or high-grade dysplasia. Currently, about 90% of patients with Barrett’s esophagus undergo endoscopic surveillance every three to five years. However, this frequency may not be sufficient to catch some cancerous changes early. It’s estimated that up to 25% of patients progress to high-grade dysplasia or esophageal cancer before their next scheduled endoscopy, missing crucial early treatment opportunities. Common treatments include radiofrequency ablation or endoscopic resection to eliminate abnormal cells before they turn cancerous. Now, a novel test could significantly aid gastroenterologists in identifying which patients with Barrett’s esophagus are more likely to develop esophageal cancer, thus optimizing surveillance and management strategies. This innovative test, named Esopredict, is a PCR-based test that evaluates DNA methylation changes in the genes RUNX3, p16, HPP1, and FBN1 from biopsy samples. DNA methylation ...

FDA Grants Accelerated Approval to Gilead’s Livdelzi for the Treatment of Primary Biliary Cholangitis

By Don Tracy, Associate Editor Approval of Livdelzi is based on results from the Phase III RESPONSE study, which demonstrated improved key biochemical markers and reduced pruritus. The FDA has granted accelerated approval to Livdelzi (seladelpar), Gilead’s treatment for primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) in adults who either have an inadequate response to ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) or cannot tolerate it. According to the company, the approval was based on positive results from the Phase III RESPONSE study, where Livdelzi significantly improved key biochemical markers and reduced pruritus, a debilitating symptom of PBC. Accelerated approval was based on a reduction of ALP.1 “More people are being diagnosed with PBC, impacting people of varied ages, gender, race and ethnicity. Those living with PBC share common symptoms, including incessant itching or skin-crawling sensations, as well as debilitating fatigue that is made worse by the itching at night,” said Carol Roberts, president, The PBCers Organization, ...

【EXPERT Q&A】Why do import and export enterprises have to do AEO certification?

Drugdu.com expert’s response: The necessity for import-export enterprises to undergo AEO (Authorized Economic Operator) certification primarily stems from the following aspects: I. Enhancing International Competitiveness 1.High International Recognition: AEO certification, a globally recognized standard formulated by the World Customs Organization (WCO), carries international mutual recognition. Enterprises with AEO certification are regarded as secure and reliable trading partners in international trade, thereby enhancing their international credibility and reputation. 2.Priority Customs Clearance: AEO-certified enterprises enjoy preferential treatment such as priority processing and reduced inspections, including diminished time and procedures for customs inspections, border controls, and logistics security. This expedites cargo clearance, shortens the dwell time at customs, and improves both export and import efficiency. II. Reducing Costs and Improving Efficiency 1.Lower Inspection and Audit Frequencies: AEO-certified enterprises benefit from reduced inspection rates and audit frequencies during import-export activities, minimizing unnecessary inconveniences and additional expenses. This helps to lower international trade costs, encompassing ...
