The latest BTD was granted for the treatment of adult patients with advanced anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have not received prior treatment with an ALK inhibitor.
Roche has secured approval from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its cobas Zika test to detect RNA of the Zika virus in human plasma samples.
Roche has received European Commission(EC) approval for its anti-PD-L1 cancer immunotherapy Tecentriq (atezolizumab) to treat specific lung and bladder cancers. The green light means that it can be used as monotherapy for people in the EU with previously-treated locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell cancer (NSCLC), or those with metastatic urothelial carcinoma (mUC) who have received a platinum-based chemotherapy or who are ineligible to receive cisplatin chemotherapy.
Roche has agreed to out-license certain rights to its invesitgational atropic dermatitis drug lebrikizumab to Demira in a deal that could be worth more than $1.4 billion.
Commenting on the Group’s results, Roche CEO Severin Schwan said: “In the first half of the year, both our Pharmaceuticals and Diagnostics Divisions showed strong performance, very much driven by new product launches. Particularly pleasing is the very successful launch of Ocrevus for the treatment of two forms of multiple sclerosis. Based on our half-year performance, we raised the outlook for the full-year to mid-single digit sales growth.”
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 development of therapies for Alzheimer’s disease has always caused many developers to feel exhausted, and now AbbVie has also increased its investment in neurodegenerative diseases. AbbVie has agreed to spend $1.4 billion to acquire Aliada Therapeutics, whose main acquisition asset is Aliada’s authorized Alzheimer’s disease candidate drug ALIA-1758 from Johnson&Johnson. Its mechanism of action is still an anti beta amyloid protein (3pE-A β) antibody, but the unique feature of ALIA-1758 is that it can cross the blood-brain barrier, greatly improving the brain’s absorption rate. Aliada started a phase 1 trial among healthy volunteers in May, but AbbVie believes the timing is ripe for acquisition. Previously, AbbVie made the decision to abandon its internal Alzheimer’s disease asset ABBV-916. This anti beta amyloid antibody has no significant difference in safety and efficacy compared to the already marketed monoclonal antibody therapy for Alzheimer’s disease. Therefore, AbbVie decided to terminate the development ...
