Biocon said that, according to clinical data, both Vevzuo and Evfraxy demonstrated a safety and efficacy profile comparable to that of the reference product.

Advanced modeling provides greater understanding for more-informed decision making across all phases of drug development.

As development of novel drugs accelerates, enhanced downstream production processes maintain product efficacy, safety, and quality.

Linvoseltamab-gcpt, marketed as Lynozyfic, is a bispecific antibody designed to facilitate T cell activation and cancer cell killing.

Using its proprietary Optimer delivery vehicle, the company said it uncovered a previously unexploited protein marker expressed on activated hepatic stellate cells.

The next-generation monoclonal antibody could potentially be used to prevent and treat active COVID-19 infections, according to its developer, providing a non-vaccine option.

EDQM is providing the 12th edition of the European Pharmacopoeia as an all-digital, redesigned, user-friendly issue.

In preclinical trials in mice, the vaccine delivery system provided protection against malaria that was strong enough to stand up to the efficacy of traditional multi-dose regimens.

A key property included in the acquisition is farabursen, an investigational next-generation oligonucleotide targeting the microRNA miR-17 with preferential kidney exposure, intended to treat people with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease.

With more than 100 next-generation biologics set to lose patent exclusivity in the next 15 years, there is widespread agreement that developing biosimilars for these therapies will benefit society as a whole.

The collaboration will focus on identifying pre-clinical candidates for high-priority targets, including a small molecule oral therapy for immunological diseases.

The agreement, which covers a period of five years, has been designed to offer a turnkey service to companies seeking faster time to market for ADCs and bioconjugates.

The industry is diversifying pipelines from traditional small-molecule drugs to embrace complex and exciting new modalities.

The partnership leverages the Hesperos organ-on-a-chip platform in the preclinical development of Psilera’s lead compound targeting the progressive neurological disorder for which treatment options are few.

Novel nucleases with diverse properties represent promising solutions, emphasizing their potential to overcome current limitations in genome editing and therapeutic delivery.

TriLink’s CleanCap capping technology, to which Quantoom will have access in the new partnership, has been used in the majority of all approved COVID-19 mRNA and saRNA vaccines.

Nicholas Giovannone of Regeneron explained the strategies behind overcoming re-administration challenges in a recap of his presentation at ASGCT 2025.

Science is propelling advances and operational shifts in the bio/pharmaceutical industry.
