Targeting B cells and plasma cells is a key strategy for treating a variety of autoimmune diseases. In recent years, chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T) therapy has made some progress in autoimmune diseases, and many patients who received CD19-targeted CAR-T therapy have achieved long-term drug-free remission. However, the long production process of this type of therapy, the need for patients to undergo pretreatment in advance, and the inability to flexibly adjust the dose of CAR-T cells after the start of treatment have limited its widespread application. In addition, for some patients, their disease may be caused by long-lived plasma cells that express B cell maturation antigen (BCMA) but not CD19. Therefore, even after receiving CD19-targeted CAR-T therapy, autoimmune antibodies such as antinuclear antibodies and polymyositis-scleroderma-associated antibodies (PM-Scl) still exist in patients. In view of the limitations of CAR-T therapy in the application of autoimmune diseases, researchers have set their ...

Biological Products Circle September 3, 2024 09:20 Hubei The following article is from the Engineering Bacteria Planet, written by the author Yaojun, who has doubled in numberCurrently, the FDA has approved multiple chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) – T-cell therapies for cancer immunotherapy. However, the production technology based on viral vectors and in vitro cell culture has led to high production costs and potential long-term side effects. With the development of mRNA and lipid nanoparticle (LNP) technology, the idea of in vivo delivery of CARs based on LNP, a non viral vector, is expected to be realized. The primary challenge faced by mRNA LNP mediated CAR-T therapy due to its liver tropism is how to achieve mRNA T cell targeting The use of antibody modified LNP (also known as antibody conjugated LNP, Ab LNP) is an effective solution. So, what are the markers on the surface of T cells and how ...
Drugdu.com expert’s response: Antibody drugs and RNA drugs are two distinct categories of biotechnology medications, each possessing unique strengths and weaknesses. Below is a detailed analysis of their respective advantages and disadvantages: Ⅰ. Advantages of Antibody Drugs High Specificity: Antibody drugs can specifically recognize and bind to target antigens, typically proteins on cell surfaces, providing a high degree of selectivity that minimizes damage to normal cells. Long-lasting Effect: Antibody drugs typically have longer half-lives, enabling extended duration of action within the body, reducing the frequency of dosing and enhancing patient convenience. Low Immunogenicity: Fully humanized antibody drugs exhibit lower immunogenicity, mitigating the risk of immune reactions and improving drug tolerability and safety. High Success Rate: In clinical studies, antibody drugs demonstrate significantly higher success rates compared to traditional small-molecule chemical drugs. In the US, approximately 25%-30% of large-molecule drugs (including antibody drugs) entering clinical trials are ultimately approved for market, ...
Eli Lilly is strengthening its ties with Oblique Therapeutics, as the two companies announced an expansion to their collaboration agreement to include a second “high-value target”. Building on the existing agreement from November 2023, Eli Lilly will continue to use Oblique’s AbiProt platform to discover antibodies. Specifically, Sweden-based Oblique will partner with Lilly Catalyze360-ExploR&D, an arm of the company that offers clinical development capabilities for partnered biotechs and drug developers, as per a 22 August press release. The financial terms of the expanded deal were not disclosed, and neither was the target of its application. Oblique did state that if treatments are developed successfully, the partnership will “generate milestones and royalties”. Abiprot identifies therapeutic antibodies that can be programmed to have a specific pharmacological function. Oblique states its technology can help develop effective medicines against difficult-to-drug target proteins. The biotech’s platform uses microfluidics and proteases as molecular probes and provides ...
On July 12, Recombinant Human Anti-Tetanus Toxin Monoclonal Antibody Injection, a Class I new drug independently developed by SINOPHARM Lanzhou Institute of Biological Products, was granted a clinical trial approval notice by the State Drug Administration. Tetanus is a persistent tonic contraction and paroxysmal spasm of skeletal muscles throughout the body caused by the invasion of Clostridium tetani through a break in the skin or mucous membrane. Globally, the morbidity and mortality rate of tetanus is 30% to 50% after onset of the disease, even with aggressive treatment; in the absence of medical intervention, the mortality rate approaches 100%. According to the World Health Organization, tetanus currently kills about 1 million people worldwide each year. The term “tetanus shot” is short for tetanus passive immunization agent, which is usually isolated from healthy human or horse blood that has been vaccinated against tetanus. Tetanus injections are often needed in cases of ...
On July 22, the first batch of SINOPHARM’s first antibody drug Sanglijian® (rituximab injection) was officially shipped, marking the company’s antibody drug formally entered a new journey of commercialization. Patient’s Gospel, First-line Targeted Drugs for Hematologic Tumors Lymphoma is a malignant tumor originated from lymphohematopoietic system, which belongs to immune system diseases. Malignant lymphoma is mostly non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, accounting for about 80%-90% of all lymphoma cases. According to the data released by the National Cancer Center, the current incidence rate of lymphoma in China is about 6/100,000, with nearly 100,000 new cases every year, causing serious harm to patients’ lives, health and quality of life. Sanglijian® (rituximab injection) is mainly used for the treatment of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (follicular non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, CD20-positive diffuse large B-cell non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma), chronic lymphoma cell leukemia (CLL) indications, and it is the first-line targeted drug of hematological tumors. According to the research, SUNLIFE® combined with CHOP ...
By Don Tracy, Associate Editor The agreement enables SOTIO to license multiple fully human bispecific antibodies from Biocytogen’s RenLite platform. SOTIO Biotech, a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company owned by PPF Group, and Biocytogen have agreed to terms on a research collaboration and exclusive option and license agreement. According to the companies, the deal will aim to develop next-generation antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) for targeting solid tumors, while SOTIO will also have the ability to utilize Biocytogen’s proprietary ADC platform. “SOTIO’s powerful ADC platform brings together multiple technologies, allowing us to tailor our therapeutics to meet the needs of specific cancer types. Specifically, exploiting bispecific targeting in the context of our ADC approaches to improve precision targeting and overcome tumor heterogeneity is particularly appealing,” said Martin Steegmaier, PhD, chief scientific officer SOTIO, in a press release. “This agreement with Biocytogen complements our existing collaborations with Synaffix, LigaChem, and NBE-Therapeutics, providing SOTIO with access ...
