SciNeuro与诺华签署17亿美元阿尔茨海默病药物许可协议

中国生物技术公司SciNeuro制药与瑞士制药巨头诺华周一宣布达成一项价值近17亿美元的合作协议,旨在开发治疗阿尔茨海默病的药物,该病影响全球约5500万人。 该协议授予诺华独家全球权利,开发和商业化SciNeuro的抗体候选物,以针对这种进行性脑部疾病。 SciNeuro的新型淀粉样蛋白β靶向抗体项目利用专有血脑屏障穿梭技术,帮助更多药物进入大脑发生阿尔茨海默病损伤的区域。

周一,中国SciNeuro制药与瑞士诺华制药达成合作伙伴关系,此举为治疗阿尔茨海默病带来新希望。该病目前影响全球约5500万人,到2030年可能给全球经济造成2.8万亿美元的损失。

根据协议,诺华获得独家全球权利,开发和商业化SciNeuro的抗体候选物,用于开发针对这种神经退行性疾病的药物。SciNeuro的反淀粉样蛋白β项目是其关键战略研发优先事项之一,利用专有血脑屏障穿梭技术提升药物进入大脑的能力。

SciNeuro创始人兼首席执行官李敏表示:“反淀粉样蛋白项目代表SciNeuro针对神经退行性疾病的关键战略研发优先事项之一。此项合作实现了最佳协同效应,将我们的疾病生物学和早期开发专长与诺华在临床开发和商业化方面的全球领导地位相结合。”

根据协议,SciNeuro将获得1.65亿美元的预付款,并可能通过开发、监管和商业里程碑获得高达15亿美元的收入,以及未来销售的版税。

过去三十年来,淀粉样蛋白β一直是治疗和预防阿尔茨海默病的主要药物靶点。这一方法得到科学家广泛的实验室和遗传证据支持,据2023年发表在Nature关联期刊上的一篇关于淀粉样蛋白疗法的综述所述。

这一合作突显了中国生物技术公司在全球制药领域的崛起,并可能加速阿尔茨海默病治疗的进展,尽管该领域长期面临挑战。

A new study shows that blood tests can detect signs of Alzheimer's several years before the disease develops. American researchers published the findings in The Lancet.

A team of researchers led by Professor Yan-Jiang Wang has published a review arguing that Alzheimer's disease requires integrated treatments targeting multiple factors, not single causes. New drugs like lecanemab and donanemab offer modest benefits by slowing decline, but fall short of reversal. The paper, in Science China Life Sciences, emphasizes genetics, aging, and systemic health alongside amyloid-beta and tau proteins.

Researchers from the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia and collaborating institutions report that engineered “supramolecular” nanoparticles restored aspects of blood-brain barrier function in Alzheimer’s-model mice, rapidly lowering brain amyloid-β and producing improvements on behavioral and memory tests.

Isomorphic Labs, a spinoff of Google DeepMind, announced that its AI-designed drugs are progressing to human trials. President Max Jaderberg shared the news at WIRED Health in London, highlighting a “broad and exciting pipeline of new medicines.” The development builds on DeepMind’s AlphaFold platform.

Researchers at the University of Hong Kong have developed a world-first nasal spray that delivers neurotherapeutic powder directly to the brain as first aid for ischemic stroke patients. The treatment, named NanoPowder, is designed to reduce brain damage by more than 80 per cent and improve stroke survival rates. Clinical trials are expected by 2030.
