It is a general trend for pharmaceutical companies to go overseas, and the proposition of the times behind it is also advancing with the times. Under the new changes, how to re-examine the gold-mining places such as the United States, Europe, and Southeast Asia? Different countries and regions have different market sizes and policies and regulations. How to examine the pros and cons of the market and formulate a more suitable strategy for going overseas? Everything needs to be answered by the industry. At present, more and more signs show that pharmaceutical companies are no longer just focusing on the “fat meat” of the US market as in the past, and countries and regions such as Europe are becoming more and more important. After being hit repeatedly by the FDA, more and more PD-1s have moved to Europe and been approved for listing. Since the beginning of this year, domestic ...

The existing electrophysiology market is very considerable, and the incremental market has unlimited potential. Research institution BTIG predicts that half of atrial fibrillation ablations may be replaced by PFA in the next three years. In the new business of PFA, electrophysiology giants dare not be tired at all. Recently, Boston Scientific announced that it has obtained approval from Japanese regulators for the FARAPULSE™ pulsed field ablation system. Nick Spadea-Anello, president of Boston Scientific Electrophysiology, said that the FARAPULSE PFA system is the most clinically studied PFA system. To date, it has been used to treat more than 125,000 patients worldwide and continues to strengthen its strong safety, effectiveness and efficiency characteristics. “The rapid adoption of the FARAPULSE PFA system, which is now approved in more than 65 countries, demonstrates a paradigm shift in the treatment of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation – an approach that has clinical benefits for both physicians and ...
On September 9, the House of Representatives of the United States Congress returned from a summer break and immediately scheduled a series of legislative votes, including the draft Biosafety Act (H.R. 8333). The draft biosecurity law passed the House of Representatives with 306 votes in favor and 81 votes against, but the 70% support rate made it the most divisive draft bill in the same batch, and even narrowly fell below the “bottom line” of more than two-thirds of the votes to pass the bill. The draft Biosafety Act places five companies, including WuXi AppTec and WuXi Biologics, on the list of “biotechnology companies of concern” on the grounds of “national security”, and intends to restrict the use of funds, loans or subsidies from the United States government to cooperate with these companies. Unlike previous committees that voted in small groups, this time there were several members of the House ...
Recently, the State Council Information Office held a series of press conferences on “Promoting High-quality Development”. The leadership of the National Health Commission answered many questions in the field of domestic medicine and health at the meeting. When introducing the basic situation, Lei Haichao, director of the National Health Commission, said that the National Health Commission adheres to the public welfare and works with relevant departments to deepen the medical reform. Over the past decade, especially since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the old operating mechanism of using drugs to support doctors and consumables to support doctors has been historically broken, and a new operating mechanism dominated by medical services has been initially established. The income of public medical institutions has changed from the original three channels to two channels of government financial subsidies and medical service charges. “The old mechanism of relying on ...

RNA targeted drugs are a completely new category of drugs that are completely different from small molecule drugs and antibody drugs. On the one hand, they can target mRNA, ncRNA, and other intracellular proteins through gene silencing to inhibit their expression and achieve the goal of treating diseases; On the other hand, new generation vaccines and protein replacement therapies can also be developed based on mRNA. RNA targeted drugs are undoubtedly a strategic frontier in biopharmaceutical innovation, with broad potential application scenarios in the future. The production process technology of mRNA industrialization is particularly important for the widespread application and industrialization of mRNA. Based on this, this article will focus on the optimization strategies for the production process of RNA targeted drugs. Stability chemical modification enhances drug safety and efficacy For RNA targeted drugs, chemical modification (excluding tissue targeting ligands) mainly has two basic functions: firstly, chemical modification can significantly ...

Since the discovery of cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs), scientists have been trying to target them to disrupt cancer cell division and proliferation. Breast cancer in particular relies on this process to grow. Because of this, the first-generation CDK inhibitors targeting CDK4 and CDK6 have been very successful. In February 2015, palbociclib, the first CDK4/6 inhibitor developed by Pfizer, was approved for marketing in the United States for the treatment of locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer of HR/HER2-. There are many breast cancer patients, and in 2020, there were more than 2.3 million new breast cancer patients in the world, making it the world’s largest cancer type. Based on the large patient size, the sales scale of palbociclib is also considerable. In 2016, the sales of palbociclib in the first full year of marketing reached 2.135 billion US dollars, becoming a well-deserved blockbuster drug. Since then, CDK4/6 inhibitors of Eli ...
