Motefutide has obtained new drug approval in the United States in September 2023. It is the first approved innovative drug for ...
Looking around the world, biotech is a group with extremely high “metabolism”. According to statistics from GF Securities, since 1990, more than 600 biotech companies have IPOed on Nasdaq. However, as of June 30, 2020, only 12 biotechs have relatively stable income and positive cash flow. Extending the timeline, from the rise of the concept of biotech in the 1980s to the present, in 40 years, there are only a few who have entered the pharma camp by buying on their own. Why is it difficult for biotech to survive for a long time? This is determined by the business model. Compared with large pharmaceutical companies with average growth but strong certainty, biotech is a divergent innovation model, and the growth process is full of uncertainty. In other words, due to the high risk of R&D and the uncertainty of sales, most biotechs can’t run the business model at all, ...
On September 11, 2024, Johnson & Johnson announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved Tremfya (guselkumab) for the treatment of moderate to severe active ulcerative colitis (UC) in adult patients. The company claims that Tremfya is the first and only dual-action inhibitor targeting interleukin 23 (IL-23) approved for the treatment of active ulcerative colitis, further solidifying Johnson & Johnson’s leadership in the field of inflammatory bowel disease. Guselkumab is the first approved interleukin 23 (IL-23) inhibitor in the world, selectively binding to the p19 subunit of IL-23 to inhibit its interaction with the IL-23 receptor. It has shown strong efficacy for various autoimmune diseases; it can block IL-23 while also binding to the CD64 receptors on cells that produce IL-23. It is currently approved for the treatment of plaque psoriasis, active psoriatic arthritis, and UC. Furthermore, in June 2024, Johnson & Johnson submitted a supplemental Biologics ...
The “Nanjing Antibody Drug Screening and Transformation Engineering Research Center” built this time aims at the difficulties and pain points of key technologies and results transformation in the process of antibody drug research and development and industrialization. It will build and improve the two key platforms of “core technology breakthrough” and “innovation results transformation” to conduct independent localization research on materials and consumables required for the production of biological products, including cell culture medium, protein chromatography medium and virus removal nanofiltration membrane, and carry out results transformation and industrialization development for key innovative antibodies, antibody-drug conjugates and recombinant humanized proteins. Next, the “Nanjing Antibody Drug Screening and Transformation Engineering Research Center” will further promote the development of biological products and the joint development of upstream and downstream industrial chains, complete the transformation from biosimilars to innovative biological products, develop new antibody drugs with independent intellectual property rights, and ensure the ...

In the critical QUASAR project, the drug demonstrated a highly statistically significant endoscopic response rate. The approval of Tremfya this time is supported by data from the ongoing Phase 2b/3 QUASAR study, which evaluates the efficacy and safety of Tremfya in adult patients with moderate to severe ...
Targeting B cells and plasma cells is a key strategy for treating a variety of autoimmune diseases. In recent years, chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T) therapy has made some progress in autoimmune diseases, and many patients who received CD19-targeted CAR-T therapy have achieved long-term drug-free remission. However, the long production process of this type of therapy, the need for patients to undergo pretreatment in advance, and the inability to flexibly adjust the dose of CAR-T cells after the start of treatment have limited its widespread application. In addition, for some patients, their disease may be caused by long-lived plasma cells that express B cell maturation antigen (BCMA) but not CD19. Therefore, even after receiving CD19-targeted CAR-T therapy, autoimmune antibodies such as antinuclear antibodies and polymyositis-scleroderma-associated antibodies (PM-Scl) still exist in patients. In view of the limitations of CAR-T therapy in the application of autoimmune diseases, researchers have set their ...
Recently, Hengrui Medicine announced that its application for marketing authorization of emasitinib sulfate tablets (SHR0302 tablets) was accepted by the National Medical Products Administration for the treatment of severe alopecia areata in adults. It is the first domestic JAK inhibitor to be accepted for marketing approval for alopecia areata indications in China. This also means that after Eli Lilly and Pfizer products have been approved in China, Hengrui is likely to become the first domestic company to enter the domestic alopecia areata market. Severe alopecia areata in adults is the fourth indication reported by emasitinib. Last year, it also reported moderate to severe atopic dermatitis, ankylosing spondylitis, and moderate to severe active rheumatoid arthritis in adults and adolescents aged 12 and above. Referring to the progress of Pfizer’s application for listing of Litixitinib Capsules accepted by the National Medical Products Administration in September 2022, included in the ...

Indications for the birth of the “king of medicine” Moderate to severe plaque psoriasis as an indication is regarded as the “Gold Coast” in the field of autoimmune indications. The former “king of medicine” Humira was born from it. Due to the complexity of the psoriasis pathway itself, there are also many antigens that can be targeted in the pathway. The more typical one is the previous generation of “king of medicine” Humira. Adalimumab is a monoclonal antibody targeting TNF-α. This target has a wide range of adaptability for autoimmune diseases. Its indications range ...
