Jade Bio’s Launch, Brenig’s Debut, Confo’s Cash & More

Recent financing news includes several companies raising money to advance their research to the clinic. Here’s a look back at funding rounds from companies such as Outpace Bio, GRO Biosciences, and Confo Therapeutics. By Frank VinluanOne challenge for developing drugs for autoimmune diseases is that biologic therapies can spark an immune response against them. Immunology and inflammation research is coming up with new approaches to reduce the risk of such responses. That science is progressing in the hands of new companies raising fresh rounds of capital. Inflammation and immunology figures prominently in recent funding news, which includes several companies approaching the clinic with novel biologic drugs. Here’s a recap of recent biotech financings, grouped according to therapeutic area: Immunology & Inflammation —Abiologics unveiled an artificial intelligence-driven platform technology for designing novel biologic drugs based on non-standard amino acids. The startup, which has been incubating within Flagship Pioneering for the past ...

Publication in Journal of Translational Medicine Highlighting Henlius’ Dual HER2 Blockade Therapy Mechanism of Action

Recently, Journal of Translational Medicine, a prestigious medical journal, published a research article describing mechanism of action (MOA) of Henlius’ innovative anti-HER2 monoclonal antibody (mAb), HLX22, in dual HER2 blockade therapy. The research analysed the structure foundation and mechanisms of action associated with HLX22, further validating its potential in combination with trastuzumab in the first-line treatment of HER2-positive gastric/gastroesophageal junction (G/GEJ) cancer to benefit more patients worldwide. Trastuzumab, the first HER2-targeted cancer therapy, was introduced in clinical practice and revolutionised the treatment of HER2-positive breast cancer and gastric cancer. Trastuzumab in combination with pertuzumab and docetaxel has also verified their synergistic effect in the treatment of HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer, and the combination regimen is now the standard of care in this indication. However, a phase 3 trial that assessed the efficacy of pertuzumab versus placebo in combination with trastuzumab and chemotherapy in first-line HER2-positive metastatic gastric or G/GEJ cancer ...

FDA grants priority review to Genentech’s Inavolisib

Genentech, a member of the Roche Group, announced that the USFDA has accepted the company’s new drug application and granted priority review to inavolisib, an investigational oral therapy, in combination with palbociclib (Ibrance) and fulvestrant. The inavolisib-based regimen was evaluated in adult patients with PIK3CA-mutated, hormone receptor (HR)-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative, locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer, following recurrence on or within 12 months of completing adjuvant endocrine treatment. The priority review is based on the positive Phase III INAVO120 results, which showed the inavolisib-based regimen more than doubled progression-free survival, reducing the risk of disease worsening or death by 57 per cent compared to palbociclib and fulvestrant alone (15.0 months vs. 7.3 months; hazard ratio [HR]=0.43, 95 per cent CI: 0.32-0.59, p<0.0001) in the first-line setting. Overall survival (OS) data were immature at the time of primary analysis, but a clear positive trend was observed ...

First Publication of Chiatai Tianqing’s Novel CDK2/4/6 Inhibitor TQB3616 (Cumoxil) Development and Design Strategy

Recently, the team of Chiatai Tianqing and WuXi AppTec disclosed for the first time in Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry Letters the molecular design thinking of the novel CDK2/4/6 inhibitor – TQB3616 (Culmerciclib) and R&D history. Small molecule CDK4/6 inhibitors (Palbociclib, Ribociclib, and Abemaciclib) have been successively approved for the treatment of metastatic breast cancer, of which Abemaciclib has shown fewer adverse effects in the clinic attributed to its superior inhibitory activity on CDK4 kinase than on CDK6. Therefore, the research team worked to discover pyrimidine-indazole molecules that are biased to inhibit CDK4 kinase and have some inhibitory activity against CDK2 and CDK6, and TQB3616 was the preferred molecule among such small molecules obtained by SAR screening. It was found that comparing Palbociclib and Abemaciclib, TQB3616 demonstrated different degrees of inhibitory effects on CDK2, CDK4, and CDK6 kinases, and a higher inhibitory capacity for CDK4 kinase [1]. The inhibition of tumor ...

AstraZeneca’s Lynparza to dominate PARP inhibitors market with $4 bn in sales by 2027

In 2014, the FDA approved the first (adenosine diphosphate-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor AstraZeneca/Merck’s Lynparza (olaparib) for use in breast cancer gene (BRCA)-mutated metastatic ovarian cancer patients who have received three or more prior lines of chemotherapy. Since then, the PARP inhibitors market has made significant strides, but Lynparza maintains its dominance with projected global sales of $4 billion by 2027, according to an analyst consensus forecast by GlobalData. GlobalData’s analyst consensus reveals that high sales projections underscore Lynparza’s role in treating multiple cancer types, including ovarian, pancreatic, prostate, and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative breast cancer. Expected revenues in these indications will reach over 68 per cent of the global PARP inhibitors market by 2027. GlaxoSmithKline’s (GSK) Zejula (niraparib) holds the second position with over $1.6 billion in sales and 28 per cent of the market share. Most of Lynparza’s sales come from ovarian and HER2-negative breast cancer treatment. Biswajit Podder, ...

Gilead writes $2.4B off Trodelvy as CEO underscores ‘time of focused execution’

The flurry of Trodelvy developments accentuates what Gilead CEO Dan O’Day called “a time of focused execution” at the California biotech. (Jim Watson/AFP/Getty Images) After a negative phase 3 readout, Gilead Sciences is taking a $2.4 billion impairment charge on Trodelvy, which serves as the cornerstone of the company’s solid tumor ambition. Gilead has cut the carrying value of Trodelvy to $3.5 billion in its first-quarter report, from $5.9 billion at the end of 2023, CFO Andrew Dickinson told investors during a call Thursday. The move comes after a January report of a phase 3 trial that the TROP2-directed antibody-drug conjugate failed to significantly extend the lives of patients with previously treated non-small cell lung cancer compared with chemotherapy. The bad news at that time caused a 10% slide in Gilead’s stock price. The write-off reflects a “smaller addressable market that Trodelvy could serve among second-line-plus metastatic non-small cell lung ...
