Original Time Biopharmaceutical Editor October 14, 2024 09:20 Shanghai The weight loss drug concept stock Zealand has suffered another setback, as its new drug Dasiglucagon, which was launched to treat congenital hyperinsulinemia (CHI) in children, has once again been rejected by the FDA. Last December, Dasiglucagon was rejected by the FDA for the first time due to the discovery of defects in a third-party contract manufacturing factory. Zealand pointed out that the main reason for Dasiglucagon’s second rejection was that the FDA failed to complete the re inspection of third-party production factories, resulting in the approval process being put on hold. The FDA did not raise any concerns about the effectiveness or safety of Dasiglucagon. Dasiglucagon is a glucagon receptor (GCGR) agonist that acts to release stored glycogen from the liver into the bloodstream. Hypoglycemia is one of the most common acute complications of diabetes, and patients who have the ...

Zantac was originally a popular heartburn drug. From being popular all over the world to being withdrawn from the market due to carcinogenic risks, the years-long litigation disputes can be regarded as a slow and bumpy roller coaster for patients and manufacturers. This storm can be traced back to June 2019. At that time, Valisure discovered and informed the FDA during routine batch testing that the active ingredient ranitidine in Zantac would degrade under certain conditions and produce N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA), a Class 2A carcinogen. In September of the same year, Valisure formally submitted a citizen petition to the FDA, requesting the recall of all products containing ranitidine. Since then, Zantac has been deeply involved in the carcinogenic storm. The FDA further found that the higher the storage temperature or the longer the storage time of Zantac, the higher the risk of exceeding the standard of NDMA, which was originally very ...

Since the beginning of this year, BioMarin has been in turmoil. Over the past nine months, there have been layoffs, executive restructuring, spending cuts, and research projects on hold. With the reshuffle of the business structure and the arrival of new competition, it remains to be seen when BioMarin will be able to get out of this ...
