This growth is expected to continue at a moderate pace during the forecast period, culminating in growth from $XX billion in 2012 to $XX billion by 2019, in Asia-Pacific (APAC). In 2012, Japan and China had respective shares of XX% and XX% in the NSCLC market of APAC. India and Australia had much lower shares of XX% and XX% respectively. An aging population and increasing number of NSCLC incident cases, especially in China and India, drive the growth in the market. The expected launches of premium-priced novel antibodies and immunotherapies in the first and second lines of therapies, targeting both Non-Squamous NSCLC (NOS NSCLC) and Squamous NSCLC (S NSCLC) patients, widen the eligible treatment population, maximize the patient share and ultimately drive market growth. In spite of many expected drug launches, without the risk of generic erosion of currently entrenched therapies, growth is expected to be marginal due to the dominant generic penetration of a few NSCLC drugs in India. A complex and lengthy regulatory pathway and limited reimbursement from national insurance programs, in China, as well as regular price cuts, in Japan, also limit growth in the APAC market.

Beckman5, Kosaku Fujiwara6, Reinhard von Roemeling5, and Andrew M. Scott1,3 Abstract Purpose: CS-1008 (tigatuzumab; phase I/II), an antihuman death receptor 5 (DR5) agonist, induces apoptosis and has cytotoxic activity against human cancer cell lines. This study reports on the preclinical validation of 111In-labeled anti-DR5 humanized antibody CS-1008 as a diagnostic tool to study the DR5 occupancy in patients with cancer and establish dose ranges for receptor saturation kinetics in vivo. Experimental Design: CS-1008 was radiolabeled and characterized for DR5 binding and labeling efficiency on TRAIL-sensitive DR5–positive colorectal cancer cells (COLO 205 and WiDr). Pharmacokinetic and biodistribution studies were conducted in BALB/c nu/nu mice bearing COLO 205, WiDr, or DR5- negative CT26 colon tumors. Planar gamma camera imaging and computerized tomography (CT) images were obtained to study receptor occupancy in vivo. 111 Results: Scatchard analysis showed high and specific binding affinity (Kd, 1.05 Æ 0.12 nmol/L) of In- labeled CS-1008. 111In-labeled CS-1008 was specifically taken up in mice bearing COLO 205 and WiDr tumors with prolonged tumor retention (26.25 Æ 2.85%ID/g vs.

  • Predictive QSAR Tools to Aid in Early Process Development of Monoclonal Antibodies
    Predictive QSAR tools to aid in early process development of monoclonal antibodies John Micael Andreas Karlberg Published work submitted to Newcastle University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the School of Engineering November 2019 Abstract Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) have become one of the fastest growing markets for diagnostic and therapeutic treatments over the last 30 years with a global sales revenue around $89 billion reported in 2017. A popular framework widely used in pharmaceutical industries for designing manufacturing processes for mAbs is Quality by Design (QbD) due to providing a structured and systematic approach in investigation and screening process parameters that might influence the product quality. However, due to the large number of product quality attributes (CQAs) and process parameters that exist in an mAb process platform, extensive investigation is needed to characterise their impact on the product quality which makes the process development costly and time consuming. There is thus an urgent need for methods and tools that can be used for early risk-based selection of critical product properties and process factors to reduce the number of potential factors that have to be investigated, thereby aiding in speeding up the process development and reduce costs. In this study, a framework for predictive model development based on Quantitative Structure- Activity Relationship (QSAR) modelling was developed to link structural features and properties of mAbs to Hydrophobic Interaction Chromatography (HIC) retention times and expressed mAb yield from HEK cells. Model development was based on a structured approach for incremental model refinement and evaluation that aided in increasing model performance until becoming acceptable in accordance to the OECD guidelines for QSAR models.

  • The Role of Biological Therapy in Metastatic Colorectal Cancer After First-Line Treatment: a Meta-Analysis of Randomised Trials

Systematic meta-analysis was undertaken to determine the efficacy of biological therapy. Methods: Major databases were searched for randomised studies of mCRC after first-line treatment comparing (1) standard treatment plus biologic agent with standard treatment or (2) standard treatment with biologic agent with the same treatment with different biologic agent(s). Data were extracted on study design, participants, interventions and outcomes. Study quality was assessed using the MERGE criteria. Comparable data were pooled for meta-analysis. Results: Twenty eligible studies with 8225 patients were identified. The use of any biologic therapy improved overall survival with hazard ratio (HR) 0.87 (95% confidence interval (CI) 0.82–0.91, Po0.00001), progression-free survival (PFS) with HR 0.71 (95% CI 0.67–0.74, Po0.0001) and overall response rate (ORR) with odds ratio (OR) 2.38 (95% CI 2.03–2.78, Po0.00001).

This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is the most common soft tissue sarcoma in children. It is believed to arise from skeletal muscle progenitors, preserving the expression of genes critical for embryonic myogenic development such as MYOD1 and myogenin. RMS is classified as embryonal, which is more common in younger children, or alveolar, which is more prevalent in elder children and adults. Despite aggressive management including surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy, the outcome for children with metastatic RMS is dismal, and the prognosis has remained unchanged for decades. Apoptosis is a highly regulated process critical for embryonic development and tissue and organ homeostasis. Like other types of cancers, RMS develops by evading intrinsic apoptosis via mutations in the p53 tumor suppressor gene.

This has led to the development of several therapeutic strategies focused in this direction. However, a high percentage of lung cancer patients do not respond to these therapies or their responses are transient. Here, we summarized the impact of immunotherapy on lung cancer patients in the latest clinical trials conducted on this disease. As well as the mechanisms of primary and acquired resistance to immunotherapy in this disease. Abstract: After several decades without maintained responses or long-term survival of patients with lung cancer, novel therapies have emerged as a hopeful milestone in this research field.
