Seagen’s pipeline includes 11 new molecular entities and would double Pfizer’s early-stage oncology clinical pipeline. A next-generation cytotoxic payload for ADCs is on the way too.
While Pfizer Inc. certainly has its eye on the near-term revenue stream coming from Seagen Inc. ’s four commercial drugs with its proposed $43bn acquisition of the Seattle-based cancer drug developer, a key component of the deal is Seagen’s next-generation antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) and future potential for combinations.
Seagen represents a rare acquisition opportunity bringing Pfizer a commercial portfolio, a product pipeline and a platform technology. The company...
The CEO of South Korean biotech shares how his company was able to reach a partnership with Rani so quickly and why it is confident in its GLP-1/GLP-2 dual agonist for obesity and diabetes, despite recent disappointing clinical results for its sole rival.
Chinese firm Sciwind has revealed additional Phase III findings for its promising once-weekly GLP-1 agonist ecnoglutide, just one asset in a burgeoning Chinese sector that could see the emergence of new rivals to current global leaders in obesity and diabetes.
Interim results from the Phase III REMARK study presented at WCLC showed the Chinese company’s second-generation ALK/ROS1 inhibitor met its primary endpoint as a first-line therapy in ALK-positive advanced NSCLC.
The article discusses the impact of upcoming patent expirations in oncology biologics on biosimilar developers, highlighting the opportunities in Antibody-Drug Conjugates (ADCs) and Bispecific Antibodies (BsAbs). It explores the challenges posed by the structural complexities of these biologics, necessitating new bioanalytical tools and manufacturing processes. The evolving regulatory landscape, with contributions from EMA, FDA, and WHO, offers flexible pathways but also presents challenges. The article underscores the potential for biosimilars to generate significant cost savings and enhance patient access to cancer treatments over the next decade.
As clinical trials grow more complex, execution pressures are changing where and how evidence is collected.
Lilly's first Phase III triplet win opens the door to a label expansion in BTK-pretreated CLL, with analysts suggesting Jaypica could attain blockbuster status. However, the window to capitalize may be brief as next-generation BTK degraders close in with head-to-head trials.
