Regeneron’s Linvoseltamab Granted FDA Priority Review for Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma

Davy James The FDA assigned the biologics license application for linvoseltamab to treat relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma with a Prescription Drug User Fee Act of August 22, 2024. Image credit: ibreakstock | stock.adobe.com The FDA has granted Priority Review to Regeneron Pharmaceuticals’ biologics license application (BLA) for linvoseltamab to treat adults with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma who experienced disease progression following prior administration of at least three therapies. The bispecific antibody was developed to bridge B-cell maturation antigen on multiple myeloma cells that have CD3-expressing T cells, which subsequently activates T cells to prompt the elimination of cancer cells. The FDA assigned the BLA with a Prescription Drug User Fee Act of August 22, 2024. An estimated 35,000 US residents will be diagnosed with multiple myeloma on an annual basis. Although research efforts have achieved significant progress in treating multiple myeloma, the disease is not yet curable. Current treatments have been able ...

Recombinant Herpes Zoster Vaccine Independently Developed by Shanghai Institutes for Biological Products of China Receives Clinical Trial Approval Notice

On February 20, the recombinant herpes zoster vaccine, a Class I new drug independently developed by Shanghai Institutes for Biological Products of China, received a notice of approval for clinical trial from the State Drug Administration. Herpes zoster is a common viral infectious disease caused by the reactivation of varicella-zoster virus latent in the human sensory ganglia, with severe nerve pain and skin herpes as the main symptoms. According to relevant data, there are about 1.56 million new cases of herpes zoster in people aged 50 years and above every year in China. Herpes zoster and its complications seriously affect the work and life of patients. Vaccination against herpes zoster is an important measure for the prevention of herpes zoster and postherpetic neuralgia, but at present there are limited varieties of herpes zoster vaccine available in China. Shanghai Institutes for Biological Products (SIBI) has independently developed a recombinant herpes zoster ...

Hengrui Medical made a new breakthrough in the field of medical nuclide preparation and successfully prepared 64Cu in batch.

Recently, Hengrui Medical ushered in a new breakthrough in the field of medical nuclide preparation, and its subsidiary Tianjin Hengrui Medical Co., Ltd. has realized the independent mass production of copper chloride [64Cu] solution with stable and controllable quality through independent projects and technological research, and the PET imaging of the labeled drug is good for small animals. This breakthrough of Hengrui Medicine lays the foundation for the development of 64Cu-labeled diagnostic drugs, and can also provide the industry with the nuclide for the R&D and production of such drugs. In 2021, eight national ministries and commissions jointly issued the Medium- and Long-term Development Plan for Medical Isotopes (2021-2035), which explicitly pointed out that 64Cu is an isotope with broad application prospects, and the key technology of gas pedal preparation of 64Cu is the key task of the plan. Radiopharmaceuticals refer to a special class of drugs containing radionuclides for ...

FDA Approves First Cellular Therapy to Treat Patients with Unresectable or Metastatic Melanoma

Today, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved Amtagvi, the first cellular therapy indicated for the treatment of adult patients with a type of skin cancer (melanoma) that is unable to be removed with surgery (unresectable) or has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic) that previously has been treated with other therapies (a PD-1 blocking antibody, and if BRAF V600 mutation positive, a BRAF inhibitor with or without a MEK inhibitor). “Unresectable or metastatic melanoma is an aggressive form of cancer that can be fatal,” said Peter Marks, M.D., Ph.D., director of the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER). “The approval of Amtagvi represents the culmination of scientific and clinical research efforts leading to a novel T cell immunotherapy for patients with limited treatment options.” Melanoma is a form of skin cancer that is often caused by exposure to ultraviolet light, which can come from sunlight ...

Yet another clinical hold for Gilead’s magrolimab trials

Gilead Sciences had paused enrolment in the magrolimab solid tumour trials, with the FDA requesting a partial clinical hold on these studies. Earlier this month, the US regulatory agency placed a full clinical hold on all the clinical trials of magrolimab for myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). “Gilead will likely decide to deprioritise the magrolimab programme entirely,” said Sakis Paliouras, associate director for oncology research and analysis at GlobalData. Adding: “it is less likely, but still possible, that the company will come back from the clinical hold and continue the programme.” The latest partial clinical hold affects the Phase II trials of magrolimabin multiple solid tumour conditions such as head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (NCT04854499), triple-negative breast cancer (NCT04958785), and colorectal cancer (NCT05330429). In addition to Gilead-sponsored trials, the partial clinical also applies to Investigator Sponsored Studies with magrolimab in solid tumours. Paliouras said the blood ...

Xolair Approved by FDA as First Treatment for Multiple Food Allergies in Adult, Pediatric Patients

Davy James Novartis’ and Roche’s Xolair (omalizumab) is indicated to treat severe allergic reactions after accidental exposure to one or more foods in individuals aged one year and above. The FDA has approved an expanded indication for Novartis’ and Roche’s Xolair (omalizumab) as the first medication indicated to reduce allergic reactions from exposure to one or more food allergens in individuals over 1 year of age with immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated food allergy. Xolair is a monoclonal antibody that binds to and inhibits IgE, which is involved in the pathophysiology of the allergic inflammation characteristic of asthma. Through this mechanism of action, IgE down-regulates the immune response to help gain control over allergy-driven inflammation. “Many people with food allergies and their loved ones live in constant fear of accidentally coming into contact with the food they are allergic to and the life-threatening allergic reaction that could happen as a result. Today’s ...
