Recently, Hengrui Pharmaceuticals’ subsidiaries, Shanghai Shengdi Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd. and Suzhou Shengdia Biopharmaceuticals Co., Ltd. received the Notice of Approval for Drug Clinical Trial approved by the State Drug Administration, which authorizes the company to carry out the clinical trial of adelberizumab in combination with SHR-A1811 for the treatment of breast cancer. According to the data released by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) of the World Health Organization in 2020, breast cancer has become the world’s number one malignant tumor and is the most common malignant tumor in women. Statistics show that in 2020, there were about 2.26 million newly diagnosed cases of female breast cancer and 685,000 deaths worldwide, ranking first in female malignant tumor morbidity and mortality. The incidence and mortality rates of breast cancer worldwide vary according to regional distribution. In China, the 2020 China Cancer data show that the incidence rate of breast ...
Sanofi, which is leading development of the Denali Therapeutics-partnered molecule, disclosed little about the clinical trial results in ALS. But this Phase 2 failure follows the 2020 clinical trial pause of a different partnered molecule that addresses the same target. By FRANK VINLUAN Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis develops through multiple pathways, so drug research in this neuromuscular disorder has pursued multiple targets. One of those targets faces some doubts after an ALS drug candidate from partners Sanofi and Denali Therapeutics failed to meet the goal of a mid-stage clinical trial. Denali disclosed the Phase 2 clinical trial failure in a Friday regulatory filing. The South San Francisco-based biotech said Sanofi informed it that the brain-penetrating drug, known at Denali as DNL788 and renamed SAR443820 by the pharmaceutical giant, did not meet the main endpoint of showing a change in the ALS Functional Rating Scale-Revised, a scoring assessment for evaluating symptoms in ...

Poster Title: Therapeutic Effects of KPG-818 in a Trinitrobenzene Sulfonic Acid-Induced Mouse Crohn’s/Ulcerative Colitis Model Abstract Number: EC24-0844 Exhibition Zone: Poster Exhibition, Hall A Presentation Number: P131 Crohn’s disease is a chronic and difficult-to-treat autoimmune disorder. The current available therapeutic options for this condition are very limited, and there remain significant unmet medical needs. In preclinical studies, KPG-818 demonstrated potent therapeutic efficacy in mouse model of Crohn’s disease. KPG-818 significantly improved clinical symptoms, colorectitis, ulcers, and local immune ...
Changing the language used in trial protocols and continually conversing with sites are some ways by which trialists can make clinical research more inclusive of the LGBTQIA+ community, say experts. On the fourth and final day of the 2024 Summit for Clinical Ops Executives (SCOPE) Summit held in Orlando, a panel discussed the most important changes that can make clinical trials more inclusive of the community. Shir Netanel, associate director of patient advocacy and clinical trial advocacy for Janssen, spoke about her experience with the company launching a transgender-inclusive Phase III trial for prostate cancer. Netanel mentioned how changing the language to be gender neutral, for example, allowed the protocol and eligibility criteria to include any patients who are affected with prostate cancer, regardless of their gender. Additionally, Janssen has also created and deployed a toolkit at trial sites to help investigators be more inclusive, she added. Michel Reid, head ...
Hemogenyx has received the all-clear from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to begin a Phase I clinical trial of its acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-therapy in the US. In June 2023, the US FDA placed a clinical hold on the trial for HEMO-CAR-T, requesting additional information from Hemogenyx after a splicing deficiency during manufacture of the lentivirus used to produce CAR-T cells. Hemogenyx produced a plan, supported by laboratory tests to address FDA’s concerns in August 2023, which was accepted the following month. In January, the London, UK-based biopharma issued a complete response to the agency to lift the hold. Hemogenyx’s stock price has increased by 62% following the announcement of the lifting of the hold today (9 February) since the market close yesterday. CAR-T therapies have been hitting the headlines recently after the FDA launched an investigation into the incidence of potentially associated ...

At the kick-off meeting held at the Center for Disease Control and Prevention in Pu’er City, Yunnan Province, regarding the REC610 China Phase I clinical trial project, the investigator introduced the background of the disease, information about the REC610 product, and gave a detailed introduction of the overall design of the clinical trial, the trial process, and the precautions and other aspects of the clinical trial. After the meeting, the research team sorted out the trial process to support the smooth development of the subsequent trial. REC610 carries a novel adjuvant, BFA01, developed by the Company, which promotes the production of high levels of VZV glycoprotein E (gE)-specific CD4+ T cells and antibodies, and is intended to be used for the prevention of herpes zoster in adults aged 40 years and above. Previously, data from an interim analysis of the FIH clinical trial of REC610 in the Philippines using GlaxoSmithKline ...
January 23, 2024 Pharmaceutical Executive Editorial Staff The EVOKE-01 trial compared Trodelvy with docetaxel for the treatment of patients with metastatic or advanced non-small cell lung cancer who progressed on or following platinum-based chemotherapy and checkpoint inhibitor therapy.Image credit: Dr_Microbe | stock.adobe.com Data from the Phase III EVOKE-01 trial (NCT05089734) show that Gilead Sciences, Inc’s Trodelvy (sacituzumab govitecan-hziy) did not achieve the primary endpoint of overall survival (OS) in patients with previously treated, metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).EVOKE-01 was comparing Trodelvy with docetaxel for the treatment of patients with metastatic or advanced NSCLC who progressed on or following platinum-based chemotherapy and checkpoint inhibitor therapy. “The totality of our data gives us continued confidence in Trodelvy’s potential in metastatic NSCLC, and in our broader lung cancer clinical development program,” said Gilead Sciences Chief Medical Officer Merdad Parsey, MD, PhD, in a press release. “Treating metastatic NSCLC that has progressed on or ...
On January 16, China Biopharmaceutical announced that the Group has initiated a Phase III clinical study of Semaglutide Injection in China for the indication of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Semaglutide is a long-acting glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) analog with 94% sequence homology to human GLP-1, a peptide secreted by small intestinal L-cells, which is known for its ability to increase insulin synthesis and secretion, inhibit appetite, and delay gastric emptying. Semaglutide reduces blood glucose by stimulating insulin secretion and decreasing glucagon secretion. Semaglutide is the first weekly GLP-1 formulation in China with both hypoglycemic and cardiovascular indications, and its effects in lowering blood glucose, reducing body weight, and cardiovascular protection in diabetes have been well proven. Compared with the previous generation of glucose-lowering drugs, Semaglutide’s outstanding advantage is its longer half-life, which allows it to be administered once a week, greatly improving patient compliance. Currently, Semaglutide has become one of the ...
Early detection, diagnosis, and treatment can significantly improve the survival and quality of life of cancer patients. Tumors continuously release fragmented genomic DNA into the bloodstream, although existing testing methods may find the signal too weak to be picked up in the early stages. Now, a revolutionary multi-cancer early detection solution leverages highly sensitive multi-omics technology to detect early cancer signals as well as predict the tissue of origin (TOO). Geneseeq Technology Inc.’s (Toronto, Canada) CanScan multi-cancer early detection solution is designed to enhance the early detection, diagnosis, and treatment of various cancers. This innovative solution harnesses the power of low-depth whole-genome sequencing (WGS) applied to circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) from a single tube of peripheral blood. It efficiently extracts genetic and fragmentomic features to identify early cancer signals with a high specificity of 99% and accurately predicts the TOO of cancers, thereby informing subsequent diagnostic and treatment strategies. Particularly ...
