Regeneron’s midlife crisis

Regeneron is a role model for the biotech community. No biotech company wants to be Regeneron. “Becoming China’s Regeneron” is the slogan of many domestic biotechs. However, such a Regeneron cannot escape its midlife crisis. The attack of opponents, the victory of Eylea generic drugs, and the successive blows of dual-antibodies have put Regeneron in an extremely delicate stage. On the one hand, with two blockbuster drugs, Regeneron has completed the transformation from biotech to big pharma. In the first half of the year, its stock price continued to rise, successfully breaking through the $100 billion threshold, and its market value reached $133.2 billion. On the other hand, although the market believes in Regeneron’s R&D and platform technology capabilities, how can a new billion-dollar blockbuster drug be so easy? And Regeneron’s highly anticipated oncology business is not as glamorous as autoimmunity and ophthalmology, and its progress is also lackluster. So ...

The “trend” and “newness” behind Roche Pharmaceuticals’ layout of smart healthcare in China

Never underestimate the power of the tide. “AI+ empowerment” is becoming an important engine to promote the expansion of new quality productivity in various industries, and the medical and health system is no exception. For the medical and health system, improving productivity and efficiency while reducing the cost of patients and healthcare systems is an eternal topic. This also means that the greatest potential of AI+ healthcare lies not only in the application of one or two scenarios, but in assisting and optimizing medical services in all aspects, and completely rewriting the order of all links of “diagnosis and treatment”. At this year’s CIIE, through the display of Roche, the industry leader, we can see that this trend is already very obvious: AI is penetrating in multiple dimensions to meet the individualized diagnosis and treatment needs of patients and change the direction of the tide in multiple fields. Although many ...

Gan & Lee aims at the hypoglycemic drug market

Collective procurement ‘big winner’ In 1995, Gan Zhongru, who had worked as a postdoctoral fellow and senior biochemist at Merck&Co. in the United States, returned to China to start a business. Three years later, the team formed by Gan Zhongru developed China’s first genetically recombinant human insulin, becoming the third company after Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk to produce and sell recombinant human insulin. Subsequently, under the leadership of Gan Zhongru and his R&D team, Gan Li Pharmaceutical continued to develop the first long-acting insulin analog, the first fast acting insulin analog, the first pre mixed insulin analog, and the first winter insulin in China. The products covered three insulin functional segments: long-acting, fast acting, and medium acting, becoming the “king of insulin” in China. With the acceleration of domestic insulin substitution in recent years, Ganli Pharmaceutical’s operating revenue has increased from 1.771 billion yuan in 2016 to 3.612 billion ...

CIIE Observation | Eli Lilly’s Two “Focuses”

Today, the seventh CIIE opened grandly in Shanghai. Every year, the CIIE is an excellent opportunity for global pharmaceutical companies to showcase their latest research and development results and expand international markets, and it is also a core window for insight into Chinese market opportunities. This year will be no exception. So, let’s take a look at Eli Lilly, a pharmaceutical company with nearly 150 years of history, and its latest thinking. As an all-around warrior, this year Eli Lilly focused on displaying its latest progress in key global disease areas such as diabetes, obesity, Alzheimer’s disease and anti-tumor. In the big and comprehensive layout, Eli Lilly also revealed its two major focuses of development in China: diabetes and obesity, and Alzheimer’s disease. At this CIIE, Eli Lilly focused on displaying tirpotide. This is not surprising. As Eli Lilly’s flagship product, tirpotide is one of the most competitive GLP-1 drugs ...

Another GLP-1 drug king, is it on the way?

Recently, the Q3 financial reports of MNCs have been released one after another, and some are happy and some are sad. When a number of MNCs began to lower their full-year EPS, Amgen’s Q3 financial report earnings gave a high score answer sheet. Among them, Amgen’s total revenue in the third quarter increased by 23%, and its GAAP net earnings per share (EPS) increased by 62% year-on-year, from US$3.22 to US$5.22. What is more imaginative is that with the data catalysis of the new macromolecular weight loss drug AMG133, this macromolecular antibody that goes against the grain and antagonizes GIPR may become Amgen’s next gold mine. According to Amgen’s Q3 2024 financial report, the most significant year-on-year growth is LUMAKRAS (AMG510) – a targeted drug for KRASG12C mutation-positive lung cancer. The sales ceiling of this gene mutation in European and American countries will be much higher than that in Asian ...
