Development of new modalities of biotherapeutic molecules will rely on manufacturing, regulatory, and collaborative support.

Treatment for cancer continues to drive immense innovation in the drug development pipeline, with advanced cell therapies, vaccines, and ADCs taking center stage.

Intravenous administration of amivantamab is the currently approved route, but a Phase III trial showed that subcutaneous treatment was non-inferior.

The optimization of processes for the development and manufacture of biopharmaceuticals is pivotal for producing quality products.

In a peer-reviewed study, Lantern Pharma said its AI-driven approach successfully identified 82 promising ADC targets, and 290 target-indication combinations.

If the conditions prove optimal, 2025 could be a prosperous year for bio/pharma business deals.

Under this collaboration, GSK and Oxford will combine their complementary expertise in the immune system, vaccines, and cancer biology.

The approval makes Enhertu (fam-trastuzumab deruxtecan-nxki) the first HER2-directed therapy in the United States for treating HER2-low or HER2-ultralow metastatic breast cancer.
