The US FDA has approved a new leukaemia drug, Olutasidenib, which has been shown to be effective and has a controlled safety profile, resulting in the complete disappearance of cancer cells in 35% of patients enrolled, with efficacy lasting up to 25.9 months.

As more and more organisms become resistant to antibiotics, the threat to human health is increasing. The overuse of antibiotics leads to drug resistance. It is very important to limit the use of antibiotics. The research team of the University of Alberta in Canada has recently developed a hand-held detection instrument, which allows first-line clinicians to distinguish between patients with viral infection or bacterial infection within a few minutes, thus helping to reduce unnecessary antibiotic prescriptions and overuse of antibiotics. Because antibiotics are only effective for bacteria, if the patient is infected with virus, there is no need to prescribe antibiotics.

The global ADC drug market will be approximately $5.2 billion by 2021

The Phase I/Ib clinical trial of Mupadolimab, a humanized monoclonal antibody against CD73 and its combination with pablizumab, has received clinical trial approval from the NMPA Pharmacovigilance Center for use in patients with advanced solid tumors.

SKB264 is currently in Phase II and Phase III clinical trials as a single agent/combination for multiple tumour types.

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!

According to Telegraph, a new study shows that human doctors will still outperform "robot doctors" in surgery. Compared with robots, human doctors need shorter time to complete surgery, and the error rate is not high.
