China Biopharm Launches Phase III Clinical Study of Semaglutide Injection

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 ...

Cell Therapy Startup With Stanford Roots Unveils $75M to Seek Inflammation Cures

Startup TrX1 develops cell therapies that function like a particular type of regulatory T cell, or Treg, whose role includes dampening inflammation and inducing long-term tolerance. Based on research from Stanford, TrX1’s lead program is a potential therapy for preventing graft-versus-host disease. By FRANK VINLUAN Post a comment / Jan 17, 2024 at 6:04 PM When immune cells go awry and spark inflammation, a different type of immune cell stands ready to counteract that effect and return the immune system to a state of balance. Therapies based on such cells are part of an emerging area of research for the treatment of a wide range of autoimmune diseases. The work of Tr1X focuses on a particular type of these cells and the startup has emerged from stealth with $75 million and a lead program on track for the clinic later this year. The cells that tamp down excessive immune responses ...

Jaguar Gene Therapy investors carve out manufacturing unit as a separate company

Three years after bringing Jaguar Gene Therapy out of stealth, Deerfield Management is leading the funding of a manufacturing spinout from the Illinois company. Deerfield, with the help of ARCH Venture Partners and Nolan Capital, is backing a new company—Advanced Medicine Partners—which was formerly responsible for Jaguar’s chemistry, manufacturing and controls (CMC). The new firm seeks to provide best-in-class development of advanced medicines, including gene and cell therapies, addressing quality and scaling issues that have hindered new treatments. The management and technical teams have directed the CMC work of several approved products, including three gene therapies. In a release, CEO Andrew Knudten touted the experience of Advanced Medicine Partners’ genetic medicines team, which has manufactured roughly 350 non-GMP batches and supplied more than 20 preclinical studies. “With so many biotechnology companies being slowed or halted due to manufacturing challenges including product quality and scalability, we have the experienced people and ...

FDA yet to find link between suicidal risk and GLP-1RA use

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) released an update on its evaluation of suicidal risk related to glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs). The agency did not find a clear link to suicidal risk through a review of reports of suicidal thoughts or actions received in the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System agency (FAERS) and a meta-analysis of GLP-1 RA clinical trials. Looking at FAERS data, regulators found that reported incidents were often limited in the information provided and did not offer enough evidence to determine a clear relationship with GLP-1 RA use. Furthermore, the large outcome studies and observational studies showed no association between suicidal thoughts or actions and the use of the drug class. Despite this, the agency said that due to the small number of suicidal ideation cases, it would not yet definitively rule out a potential link with GLP-1RA use. The FDA will share its ...

FDA’s early review finds no evidence linking Novo, Lilly weight-loss drugs to suicidal thoughts

A preliminary evaluation by the FDA found no evidence that use of popular diabetes and weight-loss drugs from Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly can cause suicidal thoughts, the U.S. regulator said. Over the last several months, the agency has been looking into reports of suicidal thoughts or actions from users of the GLP-1 treatments gathered through its FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS), it said. “Because the information provided was often limited and because these events can be influenced by other potential factors, we determined that the information in these reports did not demonstrate a clear relationship with the use of (GLP-1s),” the FDA wrote. The agency said its reviews of clinical trials and observational studies found no association between the treatments and suicidal thoughts. Ten days ago, the FDA drew attention when it included the trendy therapies on a list of medicines it said it was monitoring for side ...

FDA’s Preliminary Review of GLP-1 Meds Finds No Tie to Suicidal Thoughts, Actions

An FDA inquiry has found no evidence so far that GLP-1 drugs for diabetes and weight loss cause suicidal thoughts or actions. The review was prompted by reports in the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System, or FAERS, a database that collects information about adverse events that may be linked to a medication. A report in FAERS does not establish causation, nor has information in the reports been verified. The FDA said on Thursday that over the last several months, it has reviewed reports of suicidal thoughts or actions in FAERS as well as data from clinical trials. The information in these reports was limited and can be influenced by other factors, the FDA said. Consequently, the agency said it determined the reports did not demonstrate a clear relationship with GLP-1 drugs. This finding is preliminary. “However, because of the small number of suicidal thoughts or actions observed in both people ...

In booming obesity field, Novo Nordisk is ‘just getting going,’ CEO says

Despite persistent supply hitches since Wegovy’s launch in 2021, Novo Nordisk has quickly garnered blockbuster sales in the newly untapped obesity market. And to hear Novo’s CEO Lars Fruergaard Jørgensen tell it, the company is “just getting going” in the field. In 2024, Novo Nordisk plans to entrench itself even deeper into the burgeoning obesity market, Jørgensen said Tuesday at the 42nd annual J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference. To get there, Novo will rely on expanded manufacturing capacity, new cardiovascular outcomes data and a surprise boost from Eli Lilly’s rival weight-loss drug Zepbound, which snagged its own obesity nod in November. Novo’s Wegovy proved immensely popular out the gate. Initially, the company struggled to contend with the unprecedented spike in demand for its new semaglutide-based medicine. But after a sustained manufacturing expansion campaign over the past two years, Jørgensen figures Novo is in a comfortable position moving into 2024. In 2023, ...
