CDER Drug Approvals

Co-led by Andera Partners and Bpifrance, the Series B financing will go toward an ongoing Phase Ib/IIa clinical study for EG 427’s lead candidate and to advance the company’s genetic medicines platform.

In this episode, we explore BIOVECTRA’s capabilities in antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) manufacturing, from complex conjugation chemistry to synthesis of highly potent payloads. We’ll also showcase how BIOVECTRA’s extensive experience in complex chemistries and specialized small molecule manufacturing gives them a unique perspective, strengthening their approach to ADC production and ensuring clients receive custom solutions across all project stages.

The new AI co-scientist is a multi-agent AI system that acts as a virtual scientific collaborator to aid scientific research.

Metabolic Flux Analysis (MFA) is a powerful technique used to characterize metabolic phenotype driving to improved productivity in biomanufacturing. MFA is most powerful when absolute concentrations of the metabolic intermediates are measured, but doing so in practice is often impractical due to inherent limitations of conventional absolute quantitation by mass spectral analysis. Recently, advances in artificial intelligence (AI) have been applied to solving the problem of broad, untargeted, absolute quantitation in liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). These new approaches extend readily to the determination of absolute concentrations of stable isotopically-labeled metabolic intermediates, offering a new tool for MFA. Dr Sam Yenne from Metalytics Inc., a company that specializes in the science of metabolic flux, has recently assessed and adopted Pyxis, a new tool for absolute quantitation of raw LC-MS data. Dr Yenne describes MFA, its utility in biopharmaceutical development, associated challenges and how Pyxis impacts those challenges.

Ospomyv, or Obodence in the EU, and Xbryk were approved for all indications referencing Prolia and Xgeva, respectively.

This expanded label allows IZERVAY (avacincaptad pegol intravitreal solution) to be used without a limitation on duration of dosing for treating geographic atrophy.
