Strand advances targeted mRNA therapies, with Phase I STX-001 solid tumor data presented at the 2025 ASCO Annual Meeting.

The company is not developing an mRNA vaccine, but had been using one as the control in a 10,000-subject Phase IIb trial.

Surveyed by PharmTech Group, this collection of industry players offers their thoughts on HHS’ latest policy move.

The additional approval expands the label for Avtozma (tocilizumab-anoh) to now include the treatment of cytokine release syndrome, which aligns the therapy with all indications for which Actemra is approved in the US.

Biopharma’s future depends on seamless integration of technology, expertise, and strategy.

While no new mRNA-based projects will be eliminated, other uses of mRNA technology within HHS are not impacted by the announcement.

The new platform delivers CAR-T DNA and transposase directly in vivo, potentially lowering manufacturing complexity and expanding treatment access.

Under the licensing agreement, the proposed biosimilar candidate, PolyPB016, will be developed and manufactured by Polpharma Biologics and commercialized by Fresenius Kabi.

Phase III study findings emphasize donanemab-azbt's (brand name Kisunla) ability to slow the decline of patients exhibiting early symptomatic Alzheimer’s disease.

At AAIC 2025, Roche presented new data from its Alzheimer’s disease research efforts across its diagnostics and pharmaceutical portfolios.

The acquisition highlights growing investor interest in gamma delta T-cell therapies and reflects increased monetization of biotech licensing agreements.

The biological reagents provider is moving to a 5000-square-foot site in Cambridge Technopark to accommodate the company’s growth.

If action is not taken within 60 days, the White House said it would “deploy every tool in our arsenal” to improve drug pricing practices for American patients.

The licensing agreement between the two companies gives Pfizer the rights to develop, manufacture, and commercialize 3SBio’s bispecific antibody, SSGJ-707, which is in clinical trials for the treatment of a variety of cancers.

Following an overhaul at ACIP, the HHS secretary took the advice of the committee’s new members, saying he was acting on guidance that dated back to 1999.

The agency has extended the review period for GSK’s biologics license application for belantamab mafodotin-blmf for the treatment of relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.

The investment is part of CGT Catapult’s Cross-Catapult Investment Pilot and will accelerate the pre-clinical development of Spliceor’s trans-splicing gene therapy platform.

Genascence’s first-in-class gene therapy blocking interleukin 1, GNSC-001, will enter a Phase IIb/III study in 2026.
