【EXPERT Q&A】How effective is tirpotide?

Drugdu.com expert’s response: Tirzepatide demonstrates remarkable efficacy in both glucose-lowering and weight reduction, with favorable safety profiles and positive effects on overall metabolic health. However, attention should be paid to individual differences and potential adverse reactions. Below is a detailed analysis of its effects: Glucose-Lowering Effects: Tirzepatide is a dual agonist of the GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) and GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide) receptors. By enhancing insulin secretion, inhibiting glucagon release, and delaying gastric emptying, it significantly reduces blood glucose levels. Clinical trials have shown that tirzepatide can substantially lower glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels, aiding patients in better blood glucose control and reducing the risk of diabetes-related complications. Weight Reduction Effects: Tirzepatide exhibits outstanding efficacy in weight loss. It significantly reduces body weight by delaying gastric emptying and suppressing central appetite. In a clinical trial involving obese or overweight non-diabetic patients, the high-dose (15mg) tirzepatide group achieved an average weight loss of ...

Got Pruney Fingers? Here’s The Scientific Skinny To Explain It

As swimming season heats up, you might notice your fingers wrinkle after spending time in the water — turns out, those wrinkles are the same with every dip you take. And that, researchers from Binghamton University, State University of New York, could have useful applications for crime investigators. Guy German and his team at SUNY’s Biological Soft Matter Mechanics Laboratory discovered that the wrinkles come from blood vessels contracting under the skin and not from skin swelling, as folks once thought. German had previously studied this in 2023, he explained, but a student’s follow-up question inspired more research. “A student asked, ‘Yeah, but do the wrinkles always form in the same way?’ And I thought: ‘I haven’t the foggiest clue!’ ” said German, who teaches biomedical engineering at the Thomas J. Watson College of Engineering and Applied Science. In a study published in the Journal of the Mechanical Behavior ...

Clinical Trials Have a Research Site Demand and Supply Crisis. Here is How to Solve it

Clinical research sites face an information challenge that hinders efficiency and collaboration. As trial complexity increases, the multiple logins, devices, and spreadsheets site staff use to execute studies create siloed workstreams. In addition, each sponsor has its preferred software solutions for every trial, making collecting, accessing, and sharing data a tedious effort. The outcome is overburdened investigators who are stretched too thin. The impact is significant on-site capacity and is likely why a recent survey report found that more than half of clinical sites struggle to take on new trials. A significant drop in physicians entering clinical research — from 5% to less than 2% annually — compounds the problem. Emphasizing the supply and demand imbalance, 29% of the sites that take on a trial fail to enroll patients. Realizing that fewer sites are participating in trials, the industry is beginning to come together and address the core needs ...

Aimi Vaccine mRNA shingles vaccine approved for clinical trials

On May 19, Aimi Vaccine (06660) announced that its mRNA shingles vaccine has recently obtained the “Drug Clinical Trial Approval Notice” from the National Medical Products Administration, which corresponds to the approval of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for clinical trials in March 2025. This dual approval fully verifies the strength of the company’s mRNA technology platform. In preclinical trials, results from third-party testing units showed that the vaccine developed by the company was significantly higher than the internationally marketed recombinant subunit control vaccine in terms of specific T cell immunity, specific IgG antibody titer and membrane antigen fluorescent antibody (FAMA) titer. Currently, no mRNA shingles vaccine has been approved for marketing internationally, and the market potential is huge. It is estimated that by 2030, the Chinese market size will reach about 20 billion yuan, and the global market size will reach about 23.9 billion US dollars. The launch ...

Customized gene therapy! The first clinical application of human patients is completed

An international research team recently published a paper in the New England Journal of Medicine, saying that they successfully implemented customized gene editing therapy for a baby with a rare genetic disease. The National Institutes of Health issued a statement on the same day saying that this is the first time that gene therapy has been customized clinically applied in human patients, laying the foundation for the development of customized gene therapy for other rare diseases in the future. The baby was diagnosed with carbamoyl phosphate synthetase 1 (CPS1) deficiency shortly after birth, a rare genetic disease characterized by the inability of the patient’s liver to completely break down certain substances produced during protein metabolism, causing ammonia to accumulate to toxic levels in the body, thereby impairing brain and liver function. The mortality rate of patients with this disease in early infancy is about 50%. Researchers from the United States, ...

Opportunity moment for Chinese ADC

Recently, Eli Lilly announced that its Nectin-4 targeted ADC drug LY4052031 has suspended clinical trials due to safety issues. Nectin-4 is a hot target for ADC drug development. Currently, only one Nectin-4 targeted ADC product has been approved for marketing in the world, namely Padcev, which is approved for the treatment of urothelial carcinoma. Eli Lilly has deployed two next-generation anti-nectin-4 ADC drugs: LY4052031 (the toxin is the DNA topoisomerase I inhibitor camp98) and LY4101174 (the toxin is exatecan). This suspension involves LY4052031, while LY4101174 is still in Phase I clinical trials, and its efficacy and toxicity in humans remain to be observed. This incident also aroused the industry’s attention to the safety of Nectin-4 ADC, and exposed the difficulties in the research and development of ADC drugs: payload toxicity control, linker stability, any “shortcomings” in any link may trigger a chain reaction. 1. China’s Biotech industry faces opportunities Nectin-4 ...
