The success and failure of COVID-19 are the market’s summary of Pfizer in the past few years. In 2022, COVID-19 vaccines and COVID-19 oral drugs brought Pfizer up to $57 billion in revenue. Relying on the wealth brought by COVID-19 products, Pfizer’s revenue exceeded $100 billion this year, setting a new record for the highest revenue of major pharmaceutical companies. However, as the COVID-19 pandemic dissipated, the global market demand for COVID-19 products fell sharply, and Pfizer was the first to bear the brunt. Faced with the “COVID-19 cliff”, Pfizer had to continue to lower its revenue expectations, and the company’s stock price continued to fall. Last year, it fell by more than 40% throughout the year, and its market value evaporated by nearly $130 billion. In this year’s third quarter report, Pfizer handed in a report card that far exceeded market expectations. Revenue in the third quarter reached $17.7 ...
MNCs are hunting for domestic molecules and have already involved the field of TCE polyclonal antibodies. On October 29, GlaxoSmithKline announced the acquisition of Enmu Bio’s CD19 and CD20 targeted T cell engager CMG1A46, including a $300 million advance payment and $550 million in potential milestone payments. Not long ago in August, Merck also bought Tongrun Bio’s CD3xCD19 bispecific antibody CN201 with a down payment of $700 million and a milestone payment of $600 million. The direction of the giants is also relatively consistent: betting on the autoimmune market. At present, the core “battlefield” of TCE polyclonal antibodies is tumors. TCE polyclonal antibodies are relatively special. One end (or two ends) is connected to TAA (tumor-associated antigen) to locate tumor cells, and the other end is connected to the CD3 epitope of T cells to activate T cells and exert the tumor-killing effect of T cells. In the field of ...
Recently, Bloomberg reported that Apple selected some employees to conduct a blood sugar APP test. During the test, the subjects actively monitored their blood sugar through various devices on the market, and then recorded the changes in blood sugar levels caused by food intake. This study may allow Apple to more deeply integrate third-party blood sugar tracking into its own products. Apple has been planning blood sugar monitoring for a long time. In 2010, Jobs led the acquisition of RareLight, a non-invasive blood sugar monitoring company. In 2015, Apple’s frontier exploration department XDG took over the non-invasive blood sugar detection project and has invested a lot of money in recent years for concept verification. In February last year, Apple’s non-invasive blood sugar monitoring project was reported to have a major breakthrough. According to reports, Apple is developing a silicon photonic chip and a measurement process called “optical absorption spectroscopy”, which ...
Going overseas is not only a dream, but also a big adventure that Hengrui Medicine has to take. Even under the new measurement standards, there is such a voice that the success of going overseas will be the key to determining whether Hengrui Medicine can maintain its “number one” status. Indeed, Hengrui Medicine, which has accelerated its innovation transformation, has come to a crossroads. First, relying on the domestic market in the past, Hengrui Medicine may not be in a hurry to layout overseas markets. However, with the involution of domestic innovative drugs and pharmaceutical companies going overseas to find incremental growth, internationalization has also been raised to a more important level. Although Hengrui Medicine proposed the direction of “internationalization” as early as in its 2020 annual report, its internationalization has not been smooth in the past few years. Secondly, carrelizumab has already fallen behind, and the internationalization of PD-1 ...
“CRISPR gives way, RNA editing therapies are going to speed up.” This is the title of an article published in “Nauter” in February this year (“Move over, CRISPR: RNA-editing therapies pick up steam”). RNA editing technology, which is coming to the fore, is seen as having the potential to surpass CRISPR due to its safer and more flexible characteristics. The technology is in its infancy, and the bets of MNCs such as Eli Lilly and GSK have once pushed its popularity to a climax. However, Wave, an RNA editing pioneer founded in 2012, took more than 10 years to push its first RNA editing project WVE-006 into clinical trials. During this period, due to the clinical failure of other nucleic acid drugs, Wave’s stock price fell from a high of US$56 per share to around US$1 per share, and market expectations were no longer there. After years of silence, a ...
On October 18, the FDA announced the approval of the Claudin18.2 monoclonal antibody Vyloy (zolbetuximab) for marketing, and will use it as the first-line treatment for adult patients with locally advanced unresectable or metastatic gastric cancer with Claudin18.2-positive tumors, and HER2-negative gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma. With the announcement of this good news, zolbetuximab officially became the first anti-Claudin18.2 drug approved by the United States. This means that Astellas has taken the lead in this hot target. In the past few years, Claudin18.2 has been a hot target in the field of oncology, attracting the interest of giants such as AstraZeneca, Merck, and Moderna. Of course, the entrants also include many domestic pharmaceutical companies. However, in the face of many entrants, Astellas’s “defending” ability has also been extremely demanding. At present, it may not be easy for it to maintain its leading position. Zolbetuximab has always attracted much attention, and the core ...

It is a general trend for pharmaceutical companies to go overseas, and the proposition of the times behind it is also advancing with the times. Under the new changes, how to re-examine the gold-mining places such as the United States, Europe, and Southeast Asia? Different countries and regions have different market sizes and policies and regulations. How to examine the pros and cons of the market and formulate a more suitable strategy for going overseas? Everything needs to be answered by the industry. At present, more and more signs show that pharmaceutical companies are no longer just focusing on the “fat meat” of the US market as in the past, and countries and regions such as Europe are becoming more and more important. After being hit repeatedly by the FDA, more and more PD-1s have moved to Europe and been approved for listing. Since the beginning of this year, domestic ...
