The Biosafety Bill, which the biotech industry is most worried about, has made new progress. On December 7, the shoe finally dropped: the relevant provisions of the Biosafety Bill did not appear in the final negotiation text of the 2025 National Defense Authorization Act (“NDAA”) after consultation by members of the Senate Armed Services Committee. This shows that the attempt to include the Biosafety Bill in the 2025 NDAA has failed, and it will not pose an obstacle to the overseas expansion of companies such as BGI in the short term. This is the case in the short term, and it is likely to be the case in the long term. In the eyes of the market, this is not the end, and there is still a possibility of being mentioned again in the future. This is the case in theory, but in fact, the “abortion” of the Biosafety Bill ...
Next, let’s turn our attention to the international stage and first focus on AbbVie’s latest merger and acquisition. On December 13, AbbVie announced that it would acquire privately held company Nimble Therapeutics for $200 million in cash, targeting a preclinical development of an investigational oral peptide IL23R inhibitor for the treatment of psoriasis, as well as other new oral peptide products for various autoimmune diseases. This also highlights a trend that the oral peptide market is beginning to rise in the autoimmune treatment market. In the field of oral peptide IL23R inhibitors, there was good news in November: Johnson & Johnson announced that the ICONIC-LEAD clinical study obtained top-line results, which means that the world’s first targeted oral peptide Icotrokinra that selectively blocks IL-23 receptors will soon be on the market. From a clinical positioning perspective, oral peptide drugs are a good supplement to injectable preparations due to their compliance ...
Drugdu.com expert’s response: The direct commissioning of domestic third-party production for imported medical devices is not permitted. This regulation is primarily based on the stringent quality control and regulatory requirements for medical device production. Due to the differences in medical device regulatory systems across different countries and regions, directly commissioning domestic third-party production may pose risks in terms of quality and regulation. However, the registrant of imported medical devices can produce Class II and Class III medical devices that have already obtained imported medical device registration certificates within China through a foreign-invested enterprise established within the territory. This approach requires meeting certain conditions, such as no changes to the product design and maintaining a consistent quality system, to ensure that there are no significant changes to the safety and effectiveness of the products. Additionally, the original imported registration certificate must be valid; if it has expired or been cancelled, it ...

Liu Yongjun resigned at the speed of light. On December 9, according to media reports, Liu Yongjun had resigned from CSPC, just three months after the official announcement of joining. On September 9 this year, CSPC issued an announcement on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, announcing the appointment of Liu Yongjun as the group’s executive president and global R&D president, responsible for the group’s R&D, pipeline strategy and international business development. It may be rare in the industry for a senior executive in this position to resign within three months. Combined with a series of personnel, capital and innovation strategy changes from CSPC to its innovative pharmaceutical subsidiary in the past three months, it can be seen that CSPC may be facing certain challenges in innovation, R&D, and internationalization. This also highlights the fact that the transformation of most traditional pharmaceutical companies may end in failure. After all, innovation cannot ...
Cell storage has never been a new topic. In the promotion of cell storage, these precious biological resources, from stem cells to immune cells, can be stored in case of emergency through freezing, and play a key role in treating diseases, delaying aging and even regenerative medicine. Simply put, storing your own cells is an investment in future health, although this is expensive. “The most expensive unit price is 176,000 yuan, and it is stored for 20 years,” Shanghai Cell Therapy Group, which applied for an IPO on the Hong Kong stock market, revealed to us the tip of the iceberg of the cell storage business. Relying on the cell storage business, Shanghai Cell Therapy Group earns 600 million yuan a year and supports the company’s IPO. So, what is the clinical value of cell storage? What kind of business is this? The reason why it is called “the first ...
