GLP-1 fired a shot at the AD market?

As we all know, Alzheimer’s disease is still one of the most difficult diseases in the world. The core is that the medical community still knows very little about its pathogenesis. There are currently two mainstream hypotheses about the mechanism of Alzheimer’s disease: One is the Aβ hypothesis, that is, the overexpression of β-amyloid protein (Aβ) aggregates into amyloid plaques; the other is the Tau protein hypothesis, that is, the neurofibrillary tangles formed by the misfolding of Tau protein after excessive phosphorylation. Regardless of which hypothesis, countless pharmaceutical companies have failed frequently, including the Aβ hypothesis that is most recognized by pharmaceutical companies. According to this hypothesis, the more completely the drug clears the amyloid plaques in the patient’s brain, the more beneficial it is for controlling the development of the disease. Donanemab and lecanemab, which have been approved, are the same, but the mechanisms are different. How much benefit ...

China’s gene sequencing industry survives the darkest moment

When it comes to the major issue of China’s gene sequencing industry, the Biosafety Act is an unavoidable topic. At the beginning of the year, in the draft version of the Biosafety Act submitted by members of the U.S. House of Representatives, domestic companies such as WuXi AppTec, BGI, and BGI were mentioned; a similar draft bill was recently proposed by the U.S. Senate. If these bills are passed, medical institutions funded by the U.S. government will be restricted from using the products and technologies of the mentioned companies. Therefore, the Biosafety Act inevitably caused excessive panic in the domestic capital market, causing some companies to oversell. Since the “924 market”, the Science and Technology Innovation 50 has been a weather vane, with a cumulative increase of nearly 20%. Although BGI is a component of the Science and Technology Innovation 50, its stock price has fallen by nearly 40% since ...

【EXPERT Q&A】Do I need to obtain authorization for the same type of medical device information?

Drugdu.com expert’s response: During the medical device registration or filing process, if the proposed referenced data for the same kind of medical device (including technical documents, clinical trial data, market usage information, etc.) are non-public, meaning these data have not been released through public channels and are protected by intellectual property rights (such as patents, trade secrets, etc.), authorization or permission from the original data holder is typically required to ensure the legitimacy and compliance of the data. This is because unauthorized use of non-public data may infringe upon the intellectual property rights of the original data holder, leading to legal disputes and regulatory risks. Therefore, when submitting a medical device registration or filing application, corresponding authorization documents or certificates should be attached to prove that the data used were legally obtained. However, if the data for the same kind of medical device are publicly published data, such as those ...

Behind the sales difference between China and the United States

When it comes to innovative anesthetic sedative drugs launched in recent years, remimazolam is undoubtedly a variety worthy of attention. Remimazolam was designed and synthesized by GSK in 1999. After changing hands many times, it was approved for marketing in China, the United States, Europe and other countries almost simultaneously around 2020. However, the author found that the sales volume of the drug after its launch in different countries varies greatly. In 2023, the sales volume of remimazolam in China was about 40 million US dollars, while that in the United States was only 800,000 US dollars, which is about 2% of the Chinese market. Why is there such a difference? It is reported that remimazolam, a “new star” in the field of anesthesia, is an ultra-short-acting GABAA receptor agonist that combines the characteristics of midazolam and remifentanil, two anesthetics. Like midazolam, it acts on GABA receptors, but like remifentanil, ...
