The FDA has recently granted orphan drug designation to Ezurpimtrostat, a PPT-1 inhibitor for the treatment of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

H-Drugs in the leading international journal again!

Elahere, the first antibody-coupled drug (ADC) for refractory ovarian cancer, has received accelerated approval from the FDA, resulting in substantial tumour shrinkage in 31.7% of patients and complete tumour disappearance in 4.8%.

The results of a new study show that Ubamatamab, a bispecific antibody drug, has shown excellent results and a good safety profile in patients with ovarian cancer.

Recently, the US FDA has granted orphan drug status to two new therapeutics in a row. One is a small molecule inhibitor, PCLX-001, for the treatment of acute myeloid leukaemia; the other is a T-cell therapy, ET140203, for the treatment of hepatoblastoma. Both therapies are currently in relevant trials.

According to data from an ongoing Phase I/Ib clinical trial (NCT04374877), an innovative IL-27 inhibitor called SRF388 has shown promising results in the treatment of locally advanced or advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), which undoubtedly brings new hope for the treatment of lung cancer patients in general!

The US FDA has approved pablizumab (Keytruda) as an adjuvant treatment for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer. In the trial, pablizumab (Keytruda) significantly prolonged cancer-free survival in patients compared to placebo.

A three-drug combination regimen significantly prolongs survival in patients with HPV-positive cancers, new data from a clinical trial shows. For patients who had not been treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors, it resulted in significant tumour shrinkage in 88% of patients, and even in patients who failed immune checkpoint inhibitor treatment, 63% had significant tumour shrinkage.

On November 4, 2022, the U.S. FDA has approved the marketing of mivituximab soratansine (Elahere), a cutting-edge antibody-coupled drug targeting folate receptor alpha (FRα), for the treatment of adult patients with epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal cancer who have received one to three systemic treatment regimens and are folate receptor alpha (FRα)-positive and platinum-resistant.
