These emerging research fields include gene editing, immunotherapy, antibody conjugated drugs (ADCs), weight loss therapy, and multiple other directions. This article will introduce these 11 rising stars (listed in no particular order) to readers, based on this ranking and official information from various companies. Lifordi Immunotherapies is a biotechnology company dedicated to developing ADC therapies for the treatment of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. Lifordi was founded in 2023 and has secured $70 million in Series A funding from ARCH Venture Partners, 5AM Ventures, and Atlas Venture, with the goal of advancing the main candidate drug LFD-200 into clinical trials and obtaining preliminary data by the end of 2025. Lifordi’s main ADC therapy LFD-200 targets myeloid cells and lymphocytes by targeting highly internalized cell surface facial mask proteins. This therapy has ...
Recently, Integer Holdings Corporation, the world’s largest CDMO company with deep roots in cardiovascular devices, announced that it will divest its non-medical business. The company has reached an agreement to sell its Electrochem business, which focuses on the energy, military and environmental fields, to Ultralife Corporation for $50 million in cash, and the transaction is expected to be completed by the end of October. Joe Dziedzic, president and CEO of Integer, said that after the transaction is completed, Integer will be a pure medical company with additional cash to repay debt and execute our inorganic growth strategy. Ultralife is an ideal buyer for Electrochem because they are a leader in providing critical power solutions to a variety of industries including energy, defense and environmental markets. As a global medical device CDMO leader, Integer’s medical customers include large multinational medical device OEMs and their subsidiaries, including Abbott, Johnson & Johnson, Boston ...
On September 8, the Ministry of Commerce, the National Health Commission, and the State Food and Drug Administration jointly issued the Notice on Carrying out Pilot Work on Expanding Opening-up in the Medical Field (hereinafter referred to as the “Notice”). It is proposed to allow the establishment of wholly foreign-owned hospitals (except for traditional Chinese medicine, excluding mergers and acquisitions of public hospitals) in Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, Nanjing, Suzhou, Fuzhou, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Hainan. This is undoubtedly a bold innovation to the existing healthcare system. Previously, foreign investment was limited to joint venture hospitals, and there were many restrictions such as shareholding ratio. With the relaxation of policy restrictions and the introduction of foreign-funded medical institutions, as more high-end medical institutions enter the Chinese market, while diverting some high-end patients, it may also improve the development and progress of the overall medical level in China. There are two main points ...
In recent years, China’s blood gas analyzer market has shown a strong development trend, especially in critical illness, emergency and surgical scenarios, and the scale has expanded dramatically. At present, the market size of blood gas analysis in China is about 2.7 billion yuan, and the industry growth rate is about 20%. From the perspective of market share, imported brands have the first-mover advantage in R&D and market, according to the data reported by the China Research Institute of Puhua Industry Research Institute, about 80% of the current market share of the domestic blood gas analyzer market is still occupied by imported brands, mainly for Radiometer, Wolfen, Abbott, etc., and domestic brands are mainly represented by the head brand of blood gas. According to the statistics of the bidding network, in the first half of 2024, the scale and demand for blood gas equipment procurement across the country ...
Since the discovery of cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs), scientists have been trying to target them to disrupt cancer cell division and proliferation. Breast cancer in particular relies on this process to grow. Because of this, the first-generation CDK inhibitors targeting CDK4 and CDK6 have been very successful. In February 2015, palbociclib, the first CDK4/6 inhibitor developed by Pfizer, was approved for marketing in the United States for the treatment of locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer of HR/HER2-. There are many breast cancer patients, and in 2020, there were more than 2.3 million new breast cancer patients in the world, making it the world’s largest cancer type. Based on the large patient size, the sales scale of palbociclib is also considerable. In 2016, the sales of palbociclib in the first full year of marketing reached 2.135 billion US dollars, becoming a well-deserved blockbuster drug. Since then, CDK4/6 inhibitors of Eli ...
Recently, Ascletis announced that its independently developed small molecule GLP-1R agonist ASC30 is undergoing two Phase I clinical trials in the United States for the treatment of obesity with monthly subcutaneous injections and daily oral tablets. With the launch of these two Phase I clinical trials, Ascletis has officially entered the field of weight loss drugs. This is another highlight of the pipeline after Ascletis announced in April this year that it would focus on the development of core non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) drugs. Urgent need for a new engine Like most biotechs, Ascletis has also been moving forward by trial and error. However, Ascletis is luckier than most biotechs. It has become famous for its first local original hepatitis C drug Ganovo, which not only broke the monopoly of multinational companies such as Gilead, AbbVie, Bristol-Myers Squibb, and Merck in the domestic hepatitis C drug market, ...

Among them, the export value was 21.34 billion US dollars, a slight increase of 0.1% year-on-year; The import volume was 5.18 billion US dollars, a year-on-year increase of 2.8%. 1. Overall Overview and Trend Analysis As the main raw material products in the category of Western medicine import and export products in China, active pharmaceutical ingredients account for 50% of Western medicine foreign trade. From the perspective of exports alone, raw materials account for 80% of the export of Western medicine products. From the import and export situation since 2021, it can be seen that the global demand for active pharmaceutical ingredients has rapidly increased due to the epidemic. In 2022, the foreign trade of active pharmaceutical ingredients reached a historical high, with ...
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has declined to approve Regeneron Pharmaceuticals’ multiple myeloma candidate linvoseltamab following an issue at a third-party manufacturing site. The complete response letter (CRL) was expected by Regeneron and disclosed in its Q2 results. The approval hold-up relates to findings from an FDA inspection of a third-party fill/finish manufacturing facility, which refers to the stage of processing that involves packaging drug products for storage and distribution. Regeneron stated that the issue was found when the agency was visiting the manufacturer as part of another company’s candidate application, and has since been resolved. An FDA re-inspection is now planned for the coming months, as per a 20 August press release. Regeneron submitted the biologics licence application (BLA) for linvoseltamab under priority review in February this year. The European Medicines Agency (EMA) is still reviewing the therapy in the same indication, and the application to the ...
Heart failure is a serious condition where the heart muscle is unable to pump sufficient oxygen-rich blood throughout the body. It ranks as a major cause of death globally and is particularly fatal for individuals without access to medical facilities. Traditionally, heart failure is monitored biannually through a blood test that measures B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels, indicating excessive heart strain. Recently, advancements in point-of-care technology aim to revolutionize this approach by introducing simple, at-home saliva tests, allowing frequent monitoring of heart health more regularly than the current every six-month blood test. Until now, the widespread application of portable saliva tests has been hampered by complex production processes and the limited scope of data they can provide, usually restricted to a single biomarker. Now, a team of researchers at Colorado State University (Fort Collins, CO, USA) aims to bring heart failure screening from clinical settings to the home. The team ...
