Luye Pharma Group today announced that the Center for Drug Evaluation (CDE) of China’s National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) has approved its Investigational New Drug (IND) application for LY03020 filed under the Class 1 pathway for investigational drugs. LY03020, a dual TAAR1/5-HT2CR agonist, is intended to treat schizophrenia and Alzheimer’s disease psychosis (ADP). Developed on Luye Pharma’s New Chemical Entity/New Therapeutic Entity (NCE/NTE) platform, LY03020 is a next-generation antipsychotic and the first agonist against both the trace amine-associated receptor 1 (TAAR1) and the 5-HT2C receptor (5-HT2CR) in the world. “Unlike the existing antipsychotics that typically antagonize D2 and 5-HT2A receptors on the postsynaptic membrane, the next-generation antipsychotics agonize those receptors on the presynaptic membrane. Compared with the existing antipsychotics, LY03020 targets both TAAR1 and 5-HT2CR, and thus is able to reduce adverse reactions such as extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS) and metabolic syndromes while significantly improving the negative symptoms and cognitive impairments ...

Dive Brief The Food and Drug Administration published draft guidance on Wednesday for diversity action plans intended to increase enrollment of underrepresented groups in clinical trials. A year-and-a-half after Congress passed legislation requiring clinical trial diversity action plans, the agency explained which device trials must meet the requirements and presented a timeline for implementation. The draft is open for feedback for 90 days, giving sponsors a chance to comment on the FDA’s interpretation of legal requirements such as the need to share enrollment goals in the plans. Dive Insight Congress passed a law in 2022 that would require drug- and device-makers to submit diversity action plans to the FDA. Per the law, the FDA was required to publish draft guidance clarifying the format and content of the diversity action plans by Dec. 29, 2023. In the draft, the FDA says that, while the Act “refers to clinical studies broadly,” it ...
