Drugdu.com expert’s response: Drug regulatory market and non-regulatory market are two relative concepts, and they have significant differences in the regulation, production and sale of drugs. Ⅰ. Pharmaceutical Regulatory Market The pharmaceutical regulatory market can be understood as one that adheres to the standards and guidelines set forth by the International Council for Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH). These markets typically operate under stringent legal and regulatory frameworks, imposing rigorous oversight on drug research and development, production, and sales. Specifically, the pharmaceutical regulatory market necessitates that drugs comply with relevant quality and safety standards and undergo rigorous approval processes before being marketed and sold. In such markets, government regulatory authorities rigorously supervise and manage drugs to ensure their quality and safety. Ⅱ. Unregulated Market The unregulated market, on the other hand, refers to markets that operate in violation of local laws and regulations. These markets ...

Cancer is estimated to affect more than three million people living in the UK, according to Macmillan Cancer Support Researchers from the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute have revealed in a study that CAR-enhancer (CAR-E) therapy could help patients overcome cancer relapse. In the findings published in Nature Biotechnology, researchers report on a technique to prevent relapse and researchers hope to launch the first trial in the near future. It is estimated that there are more than three million people living in the UK with cancer, according to Macmillan Cancer Support, with breast cancer being the most prevalent, accounting for more than 55,000 new cases every year. A common challenge faced when using CAR T-cell therapies is that many patients, including those whose cancer has gone into full remission, eventually relapse. To eliminate this problem, the new techniques create what researchers consider a CAR-E therapeutic platform, which causes CAR T cells to ...
Otsuka Pharmaceutical is acquiring Jnana Therapeutics, whose lead drug is a potential treatment for the rare metabolic disorder phenylketonuria (PKU). Jnana’s drug could provide an alternative to two FDA-approved PKU medicines from BioMarin Pharmaceutical. By Frank VinluanOtsuka Pharmaceutical is broadening its scope in rare disease, striking a deal to acquire Jnana Therapeutics and its lead drug candidate, a small molecule on track for pivotal testing in a metabolic disorder with few treatments. Per deal terms announced Thursday, Otsuka is paying $800 million up front to buy Boston-based Jnana. The Japanese pharma company could shell out up to $325 million more if the lead drug candidate of privately held Jnana achieves development and regulatory milestones. Jnana’s lead program, JNT-517, is in development for phenylketonuria (PKU), an inherited disorder that leads to deficiency of an enzyme needed to break down phenylalanine, an amino acid found in certain foods. Buildup of phenylalanine in ...
By Don Tracy, Associate Editor Data from the SUMMIT clinical trial demonstrated that tirzepatide lowered the risk of negative heart failure outcomes and enhanced symptoms and physical limitations when tested with three different doses. Results from the SUMMIT Phase III clinical trial found that Eli Lilly’s tirzepatide, tested at doses of 5 mg, 10 mg, and 15 mg, showed statistically significant improvements in reducing heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and obesity, as measured by the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire Clinical Summary Score (KCCQ CSS), compared to placebo. According to the company, tirzepatide also demonstrated improved exercise capacity as measured by the 6-Minute Walk-Test Distance (6MWD), reduction in the inflammation marker high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), and a noteworthy mean body weight reduction at 52 weeks.1 “HFpEF accounts for nearly half of all heart failure cases, and in the U.S. almost 60% of those impacted also live with obesity.1,2 Despite ...
Currently, scanning transmission electron microscopes (STEMs) employ a highly focused electron beam that traverses a sample, creating images point by point. Traditionally, at each point, the beam pauses for a constant, predetermined duration to gather signals, akin to how cameras with photographic film function, resulting in uniformly exposed images across all areas. This method continuously exposes the sample to electrons until the set “dwell-time” for each pixel elapses. Although simple to implement, this technique can subject the sample to excessive radiation, potentially altering or destroying it. Now, a pioneering imaging technique utilizing advanced microscopes has significantly reduced the time and radiation needed for imaging. This advancement is particularly beneficial for fields like medicine, where it promises enhanced imaging of sensitive materials, such as biological tissues, which are highly susceptible to damage. The new method, devised by an international research group led by Trinity College Dublin (Dublin, Ireland), fundamentally rethinks the ...
