Johnson & Johnson’s IL-23 Dual Inhibitor Guselkumab Approved by FDA for Ulcerative Colitis

On September 11, 2024, Johnson & Johnson announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved Tremfya (guselkumab) for the treatment of moderate to severe active ulcerative colitis (UC) in adult patients. The company claims that Tremfya is the first and only dual-action inhibitor targeting interleukin 23 (IL-23) approved for the treatment of active ulcerative colitis, further solidifying Johnson & Johnson’s leadership in the field of inflammatory bowel disease. Guselkumab is the first approved interleukin 23 (IL-23) inhibitor in the world, selectively binding to the p19 subunit of IL-23 to inhibit its interaction with the IL-23 receptor. It has shown strong efficacy for various autoimmune diseases; it can block IL-23 while also binding to the CD64 receptors on cells that produce IL-23. It is currently approved for the treatment of plaque psoriasis, active psoriatic arthritis, and UC. Furthermore, in June 2024, Johnson & Johnson submitted a supplemental Biologics ...

Lianying ranks first in domestic production

Recently, the US FDA updated the list of authorized artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) medical devices. This list is a barometer of the health status of the artificial intelligence industry, and updates show that the FDA is maintaining a rapid pace of authorization. In the past few years, the FDA’s AI authorization has maintained double-digit growth, which reflects the increasing number of submissions received by the FDA from AI developers. AI/ML medical equipment explosion In the past, the FDA usually updated the list of approved AI/ML devices once a year, but with the frequent changes and approvals of artificial intelligence technology, the FDA has increased the frequency of updating the list. This list update includes 61 new approvals, including products approved between March 31st and June 25th. Similar to previous updates, applications targeting radiology accounted for the majority of the new licenses, with 44 products on the list since ...

FDA Approves Updated COVID-19 Vaccines

By Mike Hollan The updated formulas should provide better protection against the currently circulating strains. FDA approved and authorized updated COVID-19 vaccines that research shows will provide better protection against the current strains circulating amongst the population.1 According to the federal agency, the mRNA vaccines have been updated with a monovalent component that makes them more effective against the Omicron variant KP.2 strain of the virus. In a press release, director of FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research Peter Marks, MD, PhD, said, “Vaccination continues to be the cornerstone of COVID-19 prevention. These updated vaccines meet the agency’s rigorous, scientific standards for safety, effectiveness, and manufacturing quality. Given waning immunity of the population from previous exposure to the virus and from prior vaccination, we strongly encourage those who are eligible to consider receiving an updated COVID-19 vaccine to provide better protection against currently circulating variants.” In June of this ...

Lexicon to face FDA AdComm for Zynquista approval in diabetes and CKD

It looks like Lexicon Pharmaceuticals’ second bid to get US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for Zynquista (sotagliflozin) will be as arduous as the first go around, as the regulatory agency has convened an advisory committee (AdComm) to evaluate its efficacy. The FDA’s Endocrinologic and Metabolic Drugs AdComm will discuss the benefit/risk profile of Zynquista as an adjunct to insulin therapy for glycaemic control in adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and chronic kidney disease (CKD). The AdComm is set to meet on 31 October 2024. Lexicon added that convening of the AdComm will not affect the Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) goal date of 20 December 2024 set by the FDA. An AdComm is convened upon request of the FDA to review and evaluate the safety and efficacy data of a therapy. However, the AdComm recommendations are non-binding, with the final decision made by the FDA. The ...

FDA declines to approve Regeneron’s linvoseltamab amid manufacturing issues

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has declined to approve Regeneron Pharmaceuticals’ multiple myeloma candidate linvoseltamab following an issue at a third-party manufacturing site. The complete response letter (CRL) was expected by Regeneron and disclosed in its Q2 results. The approval hold-up relates to findings from an FDA inspection of a third-party fill/finish manufacturing facility, which refers to the stage of processing that involves packaging drug products for storage and distribution. Regeneron stated that the issue was found when the agency was visiting the manufacturer as part of another company’s candidate application, and has since been resolved. An FDA re-inspection is now planned for the coming months, as per a 20 August press release. Regeneron submitted the biologics licence application (BLA) for linvoseltamab under priority review in February this year. The European Medicines Agency (EMA) is still reviewing the therapy in the same indication, and the application to the ...
