Biosimilar Product Differences Will Affect US Uptake, Amgen Predicts 28 April 2017 No. 3851 Scripscrip.pharmamedtechbi.com Pharma intelligence | informa However, the US is poised for potentially significant growth in the biosimilar category in the coming year. There currently are at least six 351(k) applications and at least one resubmitted application pending with FDA. The report’s discussion of delivery de- vice, packaging and product dosing con- siderations as market drivers is particularly timely in the context of FDA’s recently re- leased draft guidance on interchangeabil- ity, which suggested that such differences from a reference product could present a hurdle to achieving an interchangeability determination. “While the biosimilar market continues to develop, we expect that the next year will bring another strong phase of growth and market maturity for biosimilars,” Amgen’s Shutterstock: spaxiax Shutterstock: Duane Barnes, vice president and general manager of US Value and Access, said in the report’s opening message. “We anticipate Biosimilar Product Differences Will additional regulatory and legal activity sur- rounding these agents across a range of Affect US Uptake, Amgen Predicts therapeutic areas.” Differences in product characteristics should be considered in formulary decisions, Amgen INDICATION BREADTH says in annual trends report that puts its biosimilars in a strong competitive light while The report discusses the FDA approval path- also bolstering the position of its reference biologics. way for 351(k) applications, evolution of the US biosimilar market, and patient and phy- SUE SUTTER [email protected] sician perceptions of the product category.

    Gene Therapy (2013) 20, 361–369 & 2013 Macmillan Publishers Limited All rights reserved 0969-7128/13 www.nature.com/gt ORIGINAL ARTICLE Efficacy and long-term safety of alipogene tiparvovec (AAV1-LPLS447X) gene therapy for lipoprotein lipase deficiency: an open-label trial D Gaudet1,2,JMe´ thot1,2,SDe´ry1, D Brisson1,2, C Essiembre1, G Tremblay1, K Tremblay1,2, J de Wal3, J Twisk3, N van den Bulk3, V Sier-Ferreira3 and S van Deventer3 We describe the 2-year follow-up of an open-label trial (CT-AMT-011–01) of AAV1-LPLS447X gene therapy for lipoprotein lipase (LPL) deficiency (LPLD), an orphan disease associated with chylomicronemia, severe hypertriglyceridemia, metabolic complications and potentially life-threatening pancreatitis. The LPLS447X gene variant, in an adeno-associated viral vector of serotype 1 (alipogene tiparvovec), was administered to 14 adult LPLD patients with a prior history of pancreatitis. Primary objectives were to assess the long-term safety of alipogene tiparvovec and achieve a X40% reduction in fasting median plasma triglyceride (TG) at 3–12 weeks compared with baseline. Cohorts 1 (n ¼ 2) and 2 (n ¼ 4) received 3 Â 1011 gc kg À 1, and cohort 3 (n ¼ 8) received 1 Â 1012 gc kg À 1. Cohorts 2 and 3 also received immunosuppressants from the time of alipogene tiparvovec administration and continued for 12 weeks. Alipogene tiparvovec was well tolerated, without emerging safety concerns for 2 years. Half of the patients demonstrated a X40% reduction in fasting TG between 3 and 12 weeks. TG subsequently returned to baseline, although sustained LPLS447X expression and long-term changes in TG-rich lipoprotein characteristics were noted independently of the effect on fasting plasma TG.

  • 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.

  • Small Dense Low-Density Lipoprotein: Biomarker Or Potential Drug Target?
    Published online: 02.10.2019 THIEME 92 SmallReview Dense Article Low-Density Lipoprotein Samanta Small Dense Low-Density Lipoprotein: Biomarker or Potential Drug Target? Basabdatta Samanta1 1Department of Biochemistry, Burdwan Medical College, West Address for correspondence Basabdatta Samanta, MBBS, MD, Bengal, India DNB, Department of Biochemistry, Burdwan Medical College, Burdwan 713104, West Bengal, India (e-mail: [email protected]). Ann Natl Acad Med Sci (India) 2019;55:92–97 Abstract Ischemic heart disease is currently an epidemic affecting individuals worldwide. Increased incidence along with earlier onset of disease has led to the constant search for biomarkers that will help in earlier identification and treatment of at risk individuals. Small dense low-density lipoprotein (sdLDL) is the atherogenic subtype of low-densi- ty lipoprotein (LDL). It is smaller in size and higher in density in comparison to other LDL subtypes. Higher levels of sdLDL have been found to be associated with increased incidence of ischemic heart disease and adverse outcomes. Properties including decreased resistance to oxidative stress and prolonged residence time in the circula- tion account for its increased atherogenic potential. Hence intervention approaches targeting sdLDL directly in at risk individuals may be beneficial. Genetic, lifestyle, and environmental factors affect sdLDL levels. But the main deter- mining factor is the level of triglycerides (TGs). Higher TG levels are associated with higher levels of very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) 1 and sdLDL. Various drugs Keywords have been used for targeting sdLDL with varying outcomes; drugs tried out include ► ischemic heart disease statins, fibrates, niacin, cholesterol ester transfer protein inhibitors and sodium-glu- ► small dense low - cose co-transporter-2 inhibitors.
