GlobalData

In the dynamic landscape of the pharma industry, collaboration often serves as the key to innovation and expanding market presence. In recent years, the Asia-Pacific (APAC) market has emerged as a hub for pharmaceutical development and investment, attracting attention from both local and global players. While cooperation between APAC-based pharmaceutical companies and their global counterparts has been on the rise, active cooperation among pharma companies within the APAC region is gaining traction, observes GlobalData. According to GlobalData’s Pharmaceutical Intelligence Center, from 2019 to 2023, 673 deals (strategic alliances) occurred among companies that are purely based in APAC, with 360 deals* of them being for unique therapy areas. It is interesting to note that 44 per cent of these deals* are for oncology, followed by infectious diseases (20 per cent), central nervous system disorders (12 per cent), cardiovascular disorders (4 per cent), and ophthalmology (4 per cent). The infectious disease space ...

New smartphone-based method for high-quality gait analysis

Researchers at Kennedy Krieger Institute and Johns Hopkins Medicine have developed a new, accessible approach to analyze a patient’s walking ability and stances more effectively. Following numerous tests, they determined that a simple video recorded on a personal pocket device, such as a smartphone or tablet, can be used to measure gait at a clinical, high-quality level. Experts say current state-of-the-art approaches to gait analysis are often expensive and inaccessible due to time constraints and extensive efforts required for assessments. However, there is a significant need for this analysis in patients experiencing conditions such as traumatic brain injury, physical injury, or disorders. Through freely available software they created, walking abilities can now be assessed more conveniently, enhancing the comprehensiveness of rehabilitation. Dr. Ryan Roemmich, a research scientist at the Kennedy Krieger Institute, assistant professor of physical medicine and rehabilitation at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, and co-principal investigator ...

ICRA

ICRA expects the revenues of its sample set of 25 Indian pharma companies (which account for ~60 per cent of the overall Indian pharma industry) to grow by 8-10 per cent in FY2025, post a YoY increase of 13-14 per cent in FY2024. Following the high base of FY2024, the revenue growth momentum from the US and Europe markets is expected to moderate to 8-10 per cent and 7-9 per cent, respectively, from the YoY expansion of 18-20 per cent and 16-18 per cent, respectively, estimated for FY2024. The domestic market is expected to see stable growth at 6-8 per cent, while the emerging markets may log in an 8-10 per cent rise in FY2025, against 16-18 per cent in FY2024. The revenue growth of the sample set companies in the US market in FY2024 has been supported by increased new product launches, product shortages in select therapeutic segments, and ...

Blood Analysis Predicts Sepsis and Organ Failure in Children

Sepsis poses a grave risk in which a severe immune reaction to infection leads to organ damage. Identifying sepsis in children is complex since the symptoms mirror those of many pediatric illnesses. Presently, if sepsis is suspected, medical practitioners administer antibiotics, increase fluids, and intensify monitoring for the child, leading to some receiving unneeded treatments. Now, a new technique developed by researchers can predict the likelihood of a child developing sepsis and succumbing to organ failure. The research by investigators at the University of Queensland (Brisbane, Australia) involved more than 900 critically ill children in the emergency departments and intensive care units across four hospitals. Blood samples collected during the acute stage of their infection were examined for gene activation or suppression. This analysis allowed the researchers to identify gene expression patterns that could predict the child’s risk of organ failure within the next 24 hours, as well as whether ...

New Genomic Method Helps Diagnose Patients with Unexplained Kidney Disease

Kidney failure poses a significant threat to life if not adequately treated, yet precise diagnosis often eludes patients, leaving them uncertain about the best treatment approach. Now, a groundbreaking advancement by scientists has led to the discovery of a new technique for examining genomic data that could offer an accurate diagnosis for those suffering from unexplained kidney failure. Researchers from Newcastle University (Newcastle upon Tyne, UK) used data from the Genomics England 100,000 Genomes Project to establish a diagnosis for patients facing unexplained kidney failure. They discovered that certain segments of these patients’ genomes were absent, as a result of which their conditions went undiagnosed with standard genetic analysis techniques. The researchers have now identified this missing gene and found the mutations within it, allowing them to classify this as NPHP1-related -related kidney failure. For their study, the team reviewed the genetic sequencing data of 959 individuals with advanced kidney ...

Another Chiatai Tianqing’s contrast agent, iopromide injection, was approved for marketing

Recently, Chiatai Tianqing received the Certificate of Drug Registration approved and issued by the State Drug Administration (NMPA), in which the company’s product Iopromide Injection in the field of medical imaging was approved to be listed and deemed to have passed the consistency evaluation as the second domestic one. Iopromide injection is a diagnostic drug, which can be used for intravascular and intracorporeal imaging, and is currently widely used in clinical applications and has great potential. Iopromide is a tri-iodinated non-ionic water-soluble X-ray contrast agent with high iodine content and good contrast effect, which is used for computed tomography (CT) enhancement, arteriography and venography, arterial/venous digital subtraction angiography (DSA), cardiovascular angiography, venous urography, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), arthrocentesis, and other body cavity examinations. Iopromide has the advantages of stable nature, easy to use, lower toxic side effects than ionic iodine contrast agent, good systemic tolerance, etc., and has become a ...

Clinical Trial of Keytruda and Lynparza Combination Fails to Meet Primary Endpoint for Treatment of Metastatic Nonsquamous Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Don Tracy, Associate Editor Despite not having a positive outcome, safety profiles for Keytruda and Lynparza were consistent with previous findings. Merck revealed that its Phase III KEYLYNK-006 clinical trial, which tested a combination of Keytruda and Lynparza for the treatment of a subset of patients with metastatic nonsquamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), failed to meet the primary endpoint of improving overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). According to the company, its trial compared Keytruda combined with chemotherapy with an additional round of Keytruda plus Lynparza vs. Keytruda with chemotherapy followed by maintenance chemotherapy. However, the safety profiles for both treatments were reported to be consistent with previous findings. Moving forward, Merck said that it plans on continuing to analyze data to share at a later date.1 “As lung cancer continues to be the leading cause of cancer death worldwide, we are committed to exploring Keytruda-based combinations and ...

Groundbreaking pTau217 Blood Test as Accurate as Brain Imaging or CSF Testing in Diagnosing Alzheimer’s

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative condition that causes the brain to deteriorate over time, marked by the buildup of certain harmful proteins that eventually lead to a decline in brain function and cell death. These changes can happen long before any symptoms show up. Scientists have found certain proteins in the cerebrospinal fluid that are good indicators of AD. One of the most promising markers for early and more precise detection of AD in the blood is phosphorylated tau at position 217 (pTau217). It’s seen as a game-changer for diagnosing AD sooner, categorizing patients for research studies, and improving how patients are cared for and treated. Now, an innovative and novel blood test can be used in the screening, diagnosis, and monitoring of AD based on the circulating level of this promising biomarker pTau217. ALZpath Dx (Carlsbad, CA, USA) has developed a robust and scalable plasma-based ultra-sensitive assay, branded ...
