Consumer healthcare leaders collectively stagnate

The third quarter of 2024 is an epoch-making watershed. An unprecedented large-scale stagnation has occurred in the consumer healthcare field. From medical beauty, ophthalmology, dentistry, pharmaceutical retail, branded Chinese medicine, growth hormone to self-funded vaccines, the leaders in various segments have become old and collectively lost their growth potential. The mismatch between business model, product structure and consumer market is one of the reasons for the predicament, but it is so difficult for a company to get out of the path dependence that created its former glory. Now there are two problems. First, how does the market value companies that have lost their growth but are still profitable? When a company stops growing, the only investment attraction is high dividends, but consumer healthcare companies are almost all stingy. Second, when will consumption pick up? When will the consumption inflection point come? Japan’s situation from 1990 to 1997 is inspiring. Consumption ...

【EXPERT Q&A】What is the concept of GMP certification? What is the connection between GMP and FDA?

Drugdu.com expert’s response: Ⅰ. GMP Certification Concept GMP, an acronym for GOOD MANUFACTURING PRACTICE, signifies “Good Manufacturing Practices” in Chinese.

Domestic lupus erythematosus drugs sold for 6 billion!

According to media statistics, in the first half of 2024 alone, at least 32 innovative pharmaceutical companies in China successfully completed BD projects, achieving cross-border expansion and involving transaction amounts exceeding 20 billion US dollars, with a significant increase in quantity compared to previous years.

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.

The “trust crack” of the first brother of early cancer screening

In the past ten years, Precision Science’s colorectal cancer early screening product Cologuard has told an open growth story. The continuous growth has also made Cologuard synonymous with colon cancer screening. However, after more than ten years of growth, can Cologuard continue? There are many affirmative voices, but wavering emotions are also beginning to appear. On November 6, Precision Science handed in a good third-quarter report. In the third quarter, Precision Science’s total revenue reached US$707 million, a year-on-year increase of 13%; among them, the core screening business revenue was US$545 million, a year-on-year growth rate of 15%. Although the growth rate is still considerable, Precision Science has lowered its full-year revenue guidance. The scale of screening business revenue is US$78 million less than expected, and the full-year revenue cap of this business is US$2.095 billion. This means that there will be a decline in the fourth quarter compared with ...

The National Medical Insurance Bureau notified that the prices of many types of inspection items have been reduced.

Recently, the National Medical Insurance Bureau has uniformly deployed various provinces to carry out standardized governance of medical service prices, promote reasonable price reductions for some large-volume and high-priced inspection and testing items, further reduce the burden on patients to see doctors, and promote the relative balance of inspection and testing prices among provinces. Which items will be focused on? At present, there are more than 2,000 inspection and testing items in various provinces across the country. Affected by factors such as information barriers, the prices of some items vary greatly in different provinces. For example, the thromboelastogram test, which is a test used to evaluate coagulation function, costs 360 yuan per time in some places and only 100 yuan per time in some places, which is several times different. The reason behind this is mainly that the procurement costs of some inspection reagents or equipment are inflated, resulting in ...

The king of cancer is to be defeated

Pancreatic cancer is known as the “king of cancer” because of its high malignancy and lack of effective drug treatment. However, the research and development community has never stopped its efforts to conquer this type of cancer. Recently, Hengrui Medicine announced that the results of the Phase III study of irinotecan liposome (II) combined with advanced pancreatic cancer were published in the Nature sub-journal “Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy”. The results showed that the irinotecan liposome combination regimen reduced the risk of death in pancreatic cancer patients by 37% compared with the control group. In the next era beyond chemotherapy, perhaps ADC drugs will become the main force in the fight against pancreatic cancer. For example, Innovent Biologics’ ADC targeting cluadin18.2 and Lepu Bio’s ADC targeting EGFR each have their own surprises, and both have shown breakthrough efficacy in the remission rate of pancreatic cancer. In addition, Kangfang has also ...
