Let’s look at the suspense of the King of Medicine

On October 31, Merck was the first to release its third-quarter financial report. In the first three quarters, K drug performed as well as ever, with sales of US$21.646 billion, a year-on-year increase of 18%, and annual sales are expected to exceed US$29 billion. According to this trend, K drug is likely to defend the title of King of Medicine in 2024. However, on November 6, after Novo Nordisk released its third-quarter report, the competition for the King of Medicine caused a stir. In the first three quarters, the total sales of multiple versions of semaglutide reached US$20.3 billion, approaching K drug. Such a limited gap also indicates the fierceness of the competition for the King of Medicine. Before the results of the fourth quarter are announced, no one knows the final answer. Will K drug become the “shortest-lived King of Medicine” in history? On February 1, 2024, with the ...

Cytokines

Preface B cells are the only cell type capable of differentiating into antibody secreting cells (plasma cells), and they can also present antigens to T cells and produce cytokines. By producing cytokines, B cells affect multiple aspects of immunity: cytokines derived from B cells, including lymphotoxins, are crucial for the individual development, homeostasis, and activation of secondary lymphoid organs, as well as the development of tertiary lymphoid tissue in ectopic sites; Other cytokines derived from B cells, such as interleukin-6 (IL-6), interferon – γ, and tumor necrosis factor, can affect the development of effector cells and memory CD4+T cell responses; Finally, B cells can regulate inflammatory immune responses by secreting IL-10 and IL-35, and “regulatory B cells” are the main source of inhibitory cytokines derived from these B cells in the body. The role of B cells in tissue development and repair Lymphatic organogenesis is mainly regulated by lymphoid tissue ...

6 innovative drugs expected to receive FDA approval in November

According to the expected target date of PDUFA, it is expected that in November, the US FDA will make regulatory decisions on the approval of six innovative drugs. This article will introduce these therapies. Active ingredient: Zenocutuzumab Indications: NRG1 positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) or pancreatic cancer Company Name: Merus Zenocutuzumab is a bispecific antibody targeting HER2 and HER3, which exhibits potential therapeutic efficacy against NRG1+cancer by uniquely binding to HER2 and effectively blocking the interaction between HER3 and NRG1 or NRG1 fusion protein. Preclinical studies have shown that zenocutuzumab can strongly inhibit the formation of HER2/HER3 heterodimers, thereby suppressing oncogenic signaling pathways, preventing tumor cell proliferation, and blocking tumor cell survival. Clinical studies have shown that it has anti-tumor activity in various types of NRG1+cancer. According to the mid-term data from the recently released Phase 1/2 clinical trial, zenocutuzumab has shown persistent efficacy in the treatment of advanced ...
