Amgen’s request for full approval of Lumakras in lung cancer denied by FDA

Amgen’s request to gain full approval of Lumakras in non-small cell lung cancer has been rejected by the FDA. The California pharma will now have to conduct an additional confirmatory trial to gain the coveted FDA nod. Lumakras was granted accelerated approval in May 2021 to treat second line KRAS G12C-mutated NSCLC. The company was asked by the FDA to launch a confirmatory trial and a dose optimization study to gain a full approval. The therapy faced an advisory committee meeting in October where a panel was asked to consider whether the primary endpoint for the phase 3 CodeBreak 200 trial could be reliably interpreted in Amgen’s study. The committee voted 10-2 against the measure, suggesting that they were unimpressed with Amgen’s trial design. Despite the negative vote, the agency was not expected to remove Lumakras from the market, but instead request another confirmatory trial. Amgen now says that’s exactly ...

Bayer wins latest Roundup cancer trial, ending losing streak

Dec 23 (Reuters) – Bayer has won a trial in a lawsuit brought by a California man who said he developed cancer from exposure to its Roundup weedkiller, ending what had been a five-trial losing streak for the company in trials over similar claims. The verdict was handed down on Friday by a jury in San Benito County, California Superior Court, Bayer announced. The company said in a statement that the verdict was “consistent with the evidence in this case that Roundup does not cause cancer and is not responsible for the plaintiff’s illness.” Lawyers for plaintiff Bruce Jones did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Like most plaintiffs in Roundup lawsuits, Jones alleged that the product caused him to develop a form of cancer called non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Around 165,000 claims have been made against the company for personal injuries allegedly caused by Roundup, which Bayer acquired as part ...

US FDA warns about counterfeit versions of Novo’s diabetes drug Ozempic

Dec 21 (Reuters) – The U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Thursday warned consumers not to use counterfeit versions of Novo Nordisk’s (NOVOb.CO) diabetes drug Ozempic that have been found in the country’s drug supply chain. The health regulator said it will continue to investigate counterfeit Ozempic 1 milligram injections and has seized thousands of units, but flagged that some may still be available for purchase. Danish drugmaker Novo Nordisk and the FDA are testing the seized products and do not yet have information about the drugs’ identity, quality or safety, the agency said. Novo said the seizures took place in warehouses outside the company’s authorized supply chain. The agency said the needles from the seized injections are counterfeit and their sterility cannot be confirmed, which presents an additional risk of infection for patients. Other confirmed counterfeit components from the seized products include the pen label and accompanying information about ...

Hengrui’s Innovative Drug Pyrotinib Combined Therapy for HER2-Positive Metastatic Breast Cancer Featured in the Sub-journal of ‘Nature’

Recently, the “Pyrotinib Combined with Docetaxel as First-Line Treatment for HER2-Positive Metastatic Breast Cancer: An Open, Multicenter Phase II Clinical Study (PANDORA)” led by Professor Wang Xiaojia from the Affiliated Cancer Hospital of the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences (Zhejiang Cancer Hospital) was officially published in the internationally renowned journal “Nature Communications,” a sub-journal of ‘Nature’ (Impact Factor: 16.6). The research results indicate that the combination therapy of pyrotinib and docetaxel demonstrates excellent anti-tumor activity and brings about progression-free survival (PFS) benefits. Research Background: Dual-targeted therapy with trastuzumab combined with taxanes has established the first-line standard treatment for HER2-positive advanced breast cancer [Progression-Free Survival (PFS): 18.7m vs. 12.4m, P<0.001; 8-year Overall Survival (OS) rate: 37% vs. 23%, P<0.001]. However, the inclusion of trastuzumab in the Cleopatra study in a population with prior trastuzumab (referred to as “H”) treatment was only 11%, and it may no longer fully guide current ...
