According to the expected target date of PDUFA, it is expected that in November, the US FDA will make regulatory decisions on the approval of six innovative drugs. This article will introduce these therapies. Active ingredient: Zenocutuzumab Indications: NRG1 positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) or pancreatic cancer Company Name: Merus Zenocutuzumab is a bispecific antibody targeting HER2 and HER3, which exhibits potential therapeutic efficacy against NRG1+cancer by uniquely binding to HER2 and effectively blocking the interaction between HER3 and NRG1 or NRG1 fusion protein. Preclinical studies have shown that zenocutuzumab can strongly inhibit the formation of HER2/HER3 heterodimers, thereby suppressing oncogenic signaling pathways, preventing tumor cell proliferation, and blocking tumor cell survival. Clinical studies have shown that it has anti-tumor activity in various types of NRG1+cancer. According to the mid-term data from the recently released Phase 1/2 clinical trial, zenocutuzumab has shown persistent efficacy in the treatment of advanced ...

Walking speed reflects the vitality of the muscles, bones, nerves and cardiovascular system, so our walking speed can also predict our lifespan. After the age of 65, our walking speed gradually decreases, and eventually our daily life will be affected, greatly reducing our quality of life. Therefore, it is very important to keep muscles, bones, nerves and heart healthy through endurance and resistance training. Exercise may be the best way to prevent slow walking. However, poor sleep quality and low energy levels may prevent many people from sticking with exercise. In addition, poor sleep quality and fatigue may be the cause of low NAD+ levels. Recently, Japanese scientists published a research article titled “Ingestion of β-nicotinamide mononucleotide increased blood NAD levels, maintained walking speed, and improved sleep quality in older adults in a double-blind randomized, placebo-controlled study” in the journal “GeroScience”. The results showed that supplementing NMN can prevent physical ...

Weighing the risks is the primary issue that all pharmaceutical companies need to consider when going overseas. The cost of going overseas is not cheap. Not to mention the time cost required to build overseas clinical, promotion, and registration experience, the capital cost is the top priority. BeiGene provides a good reference: although it has seen the dawn of profitability, this is based on the total loss of nearly 50 billion yuan in the past five years; Legend Biotech’s overseas cost is not low either. It is estimated that it has spent at least 1 billion US dollars since the establishment of the Xidaqiolunsai project. Industry insiders commented that this is far more expensive than imagined. From the perspective of capital investment alone, it can be asserted that there are not many pharmaceutical companies that can play the two cards of “local + going overseas” at the same time. To ...
Cell, an international authoritative scientific journal, recently published a pioneering achievement from multiple research teams in China – the first time to use stem cell regeneration therapy to functionally cure type 1 diabetes. The research team used chemical reprogramming technology to induce pluripotent stem cells to prepare islet cells, and transplanted them to a type 1 diabetes patient, achieving clinical functional cure effect. So, how is it successful to induce stem cells to prepare pancreatic islet cells? Is functional cure truly a cure? Will stem cell technology be the key to conquer diabetes in the future? What is the difference between functional cure and cure Diabetes is a thorny disease, and its biggest harm to patients is that there are many clinical complications, which may lead to cardiovascular disease, nervous system damage, kidney disease, eye disease, foot disease, and so on. Diabetes ranks ninth among the world’s ten leading ...
