武田制药AI开发的银屑病药片试验成功

武田制药宣布,其AI辅助的口服银屑病药物zasocitinib在晚期试验中证明安全有效。这种每日一次的药片在清除中重度斑块状银屑病患者皮肤方面,优于安慰剂和现有疗法apremilast。如果获批,它将成为首批利用人工智能发现的药物之一。

武田制药于12月18日宣布,其实验性口服药物zasocitinib(又称TAK-279)在中重度斑块状银屑病的晚期临床试验中显示出安全性和有效性。公司声明称,服用这种每日一次药片的患者,其皮肤清澈度显著优于服用安慰剂或现有治疗apremilast的患者。武田计划从2026财年开始向美国食品药品监督管理局及其他监管机构提交数据。

该药物的发现高度依赖人工智能,算法加速了从大量分子中筛选出zasocitinib的过程。起源于该药物的Nimbus Therapeutics首席执行官Jeb Keiper表示,这些算法“显著加速了识别过程”。2023年,武田以40亿美元预付款从波士顿的Nimbus Therapeutics收购zasocitinib,并可能额外获得20亿美元的里程碑付款。

该疗法是武田制药缓解其重磅产品Entyvio面临仿制药竞争导致收入损失的更广泛计划的一部分。Jefferies Japan分析师Stephen Barker估计,如果扩展到炎症性肠病等适应症,zasocitinib峰值销售额可能达到50亿美元。根据Fortune Business Insights的数据,2024年全球银屑病市场价值270亿美元,预计到2032年将几乎翻倍至580亿美元。银屑病是一种慢性自身免疫性疾病,影响全球超过1.25亿人,会引起瘙痒、鳞屑性皮疹。

SereNeuro Therapeutics has reported promising preclinical data for SN101, an induced pluripotent stem cell-based therapy for chronic osteoarthritis pain. The treatment uses engineered peripheral pain-sensing neurons that sequester inflammatory pain factors without transmitting pain signals, while releasing regenerative molecules that may help preserve cartilage, according to data presented at an International Society for Stem Cell Research symposium.

A Delhi High Court verdict on January 12 has allowed Indian pharma company Zydus Lifesciences to manufacture and sell a biosimilar version of Bristol Myers-Squibb's cancer drug Nivolumab. This ruling could pave the way for more affordable immunotherapy treatments for cancer patients in India. Nivolumab is effective against various cancers, with its patent set to expire in May 2026.

阿尔茨海默病试验正转向受癌症研究启发的多靶点方法,即便Novo Nordisk的司美格鲁肽试验失败。只有两种药物——Eli Lilly的Kisunla和Eisai与Biogen的Leqembi——被广泛批准用于减缓疾病进展。这种演变将这种脑部退化疾病视为复杂系统,在其全球影响下寻求新的遏止途径。

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet report that using a reduced dose of ipilimumab together with nivolumab in immunotherapy for advanced malignant melanoma was associated with better tumor control and fewer serious side effects than the traditional full-dose combination. In a real-world study of nearly 400 patients with advanced, inoperable skin cancer, response rates and survival times were higher in the lower-dose group, according to results published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.

Scientists at Northwestern University have identified a toxic subtype of amyloid beta oligomers that triggers early Alzheimer's changes in the brain. Their experimental drug, NU-9, reduced this damage and inflammation in pre-symptomatic mice, suggesting potential for preventing the disease before symptoms appear. The findings highlight a new strategy for early intervention.
