A Rehearsal for Overcoming AIDS

Starting in June 2024, global scholars concerned with HIV prevention will focus their attention on Gilead’s antiviral drug, lenacapavir. At that time, Gilead released the latest data from the PURPOSE 1 trial, which demonstrated that lenacapavir, when administered via two annual injections, resulted in zero infections compared to daily oral PrEP medications. This suggests that, in the absence of successful vaccine development, lenacapavir could potentially serve as a long-lasting preventive alternative. However, whether the results of the PURPOSE 1 trial were a coincidence or a certainty remains unanswered. In September, Gilead further presented results from the PURPOSE 2 trial, indicating a higher likelihood of certainty. The results showed that 99.9% of participants in the lenacapavir group did not contract HIV, representing a 96% reduction in infection risk compared to the placebo group. This might signal that we are approaching an era of highly effective HIV prevention. 01 / The ...

What Are Its Treatment Prospects?

Recently, according to publicly available information from the Center for Drug Evaluation (CDE) of the National Medical Products Administration, the technetium-99m ([99mTc]) hydrazinonicotinamide polyethylene glycol RGD peptide injection (referred to as “99mTc-3PRGD2”) developed by Ruidiao Pharmaceuticals has been included in the priority review list. This also applies to the injection of toluenesulfonate hydrazone nicotinamide polyethylene glycol RGD peptide. 99mTc-3PRGD2 is a radiolabeled drug conjugate (RDC) independently developed by Ruidiao Pharmaceuticals. It is the first class I new drug for radiologic diagnosis in nuclear medicine in China and the world’s first broad-spectrum tumor imaging agent for SPECT imaging. Notably, the success of this drug’s development will change the current technical status and conventional understanding that SPECT/CT imaging technology in nuclear medicine cannot be used for tumor diagnosis, staging, and efficacy evaluation. According to Ruidiao Pharmaceuticals, 99mTc-3PRGD2 targets integrin and specifically binds to the integrin αvβ3 receptor on tumor neovascularization, demonstrating high ...

The second half of the battle to defend the Medicine King

Recently, Astellas announced that Japan’s MHLW has approved its ADC drug ennozumab PADCEV and Merck’s K drug as a first-line combination therapy for adult patients with fundamentally unresectable urothelial cancer. With excellent data, this combination treatment regimen was approved by the Japanese MHLW in such a short time after Merck announced on September 4 that it had been approved by the European Commission (EC) as a first-line therapy. However, sporadic victories cannot conceal the plight of K-drugs. For the pharmaceutical industry, the biggest hot spot in the past two weeks is definitely the announcement by Kangfang Biologics on September 8 that ivocilimab has become the world’s first and only single-drug head-to-head phase III clinical study to prove that its efficacy is significantly better than that of pabrolib. The drug Zizumab. On the day the results were announced, Merck’s stock price fell in response, and the dilemma was obvious. Under the ...

US judge denies initial attempt by Novartis to block generic Entresto launch

Novartis’s bid to block the launch of a biosimilar for its best-selling drug Entresto (sacubitril/valsartan) got off to a faltering start, as the drugmaker failed to convince a US court that MSN Pharmaceuticals’ (MSNPI) copycat infringed on a patent. Richard Andrews, district judge for the District of Delaware, ruled the likelihood that Novartis would win the lawsuit was not high enough, meaning a preliminary injunction was not granted. While Andrews stated that stopping MSNPI’s generic launch was not justified, he did order a temporary 72-hour halt while Novartis goes to the US Court of Appeal to seek an injunction, as per a 12 August court document first released by Reuters. The hearing is part of a lawsuit initiated by Novartis to fend off MSNPI’s generic – which received US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval last month – to protect sales for its heart failure blockbuster. Novartis’s reference drug was ...

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 ...

FDA Approves Sandoz Biosimilars for Two Blockbuster Amgen Bone Drugs

Sandoz drugs Jubbonti and Xgeva are approved for use in all indications covered by the Amgen products, Prolia and Xgeva. But no launch date is planned yet, due to ongoing patent litigation between the two companies. By FRANK VINLUAN A blockbuster Amgen antibody that treats bone conditions is set to face its first biosimilar competition. The FDA on Tuesday approved two Sandoz drugs as interchangeable with and approved for all uses of the Amgen products. The Amgen antibody, denosumab, is marketed as Prolia for the treatment of osteoporosis. A different dose of the antibody is marketed as Xgeva for preventing bone problems in multiple myeloma patients as well as those whose solid tumors have metastasized to the bones. Sandoz’s biosimilar for the osteoporosis indication will be marketed under the name Jubbonti. For cancer, the Sandoz product will be called Wyost. The Amgen and Sandoz drugs work by binding to a ...

Today, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration is providing an at-a-glance summary of news from around the agency: Today, the FDA announced its final decision to withdraw approval of Pepaxto (melphalan flufenamide), which was approved for use in combination with dexamethasone to treat certain patients with multiple myeloma. The agency determined the following grounds for withdrawal were met: (1) the confirmatory study conducted as a condition of accelerated approval did not confirm Pepaxto’s clinical benefit, and (2) the available evidence demonstrates that Pepaxto is not shown to be safe or effective under its conditions of use. The final decision was issued by the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research Director Peter Marks, M.D., Ph.D., as the Commissioner’s designee. The decision is effective immediately. The FDA plans to publish a Federal Register notice announcing the availability of today’s decision and remove Pepaxto from the Orange Book. It is the FDA’s ...

US Senate committee interrogates big pharma on “outrageously high” drug prices

The Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee grilled the CEOs of major pharmaceutical companies on what chairman Senator Bernie Sanders labelled “the outrageously high cost of prescription drugs” in the US. Despite intense interrogation, the CEOs made no solid commitments to improve drug prices in the US. The February 8 hearing allowed US senators to question the CEOs of Merck & Co (MSD), Bristol Myers Squibb (BMS) and Johnson & Johnson (J&J) about their drug prices in the US and potential solutions to target high costs. Sanders highlighted price discrepancies between the US and other countries, pointing out that the list price for MSD’s Keytruda (pembrolizumab) is approximately $191,000 in the US, but $112,000 in Canada. On the issue of differential pricing in different countries, BMS CEO Chris Boerner said that the lower prices in countries such as Canada reduced access to essential medications. He said that patients ...

FDA and EMA team up to expedite complex generic drug development

In a move to enhance patient access to complex generic drugs, the FDA’s Office of Generic Drugs (OGD) and the EMA have joined forces in a new pilot programme. This initiative, an extension of the original parallel scientific advice (PSA) programme, homes in on complex generics, also known as ‘hybrid medicines’ as per EMA terminology.Launched in 2005, the original programme offers a means for sponsors of new medicines to seek guidance from regulatory agencies in both the US and EU, regarding scientific matters related to product development. The new voluntary programme aims to facilitate concurrent discussions between generic drug manufacturers and regulatory bodies, with the ultimate goal of improving patient access to harder-to-develop generic drugs. To participate in the PSA programme, applicants must submit requests to the EMA and FDA. Examples of suitable candidates for this programme include proposals for single bioequivalence studies, approaches with common comparators, and the use ...
