Project description:Zilucoplan (Zilbrysq®) is a subcutaneously administered macrocyclic peptide inhibitor of complement component 5 (C5 inhibitor) being developed by UCB for the treatment of generalised myasthenia gravis (gMG). Zilucoplan received its first approval, in Japan, in September 2023 for the treatment of gMG in adult patients who inadequately respond to steroids or other immunosuppressants and are positive for anti-acetylcholine receptor (AChR) antibodies. Subsequently, zilucoplan was approved in the USA in October 2023 for the treatment of gMG in adult patients who are anti-AChR antibody positive and in the EU in December 2023 as an add-on to standard therapy for the treatment of gMG in adult patients who are anti-AChR antibody positive. Zilucoplan is also currently under regulatory review in Australia and Canada for use in the treatment of gMG. This article summarises the milestones in the development of zilucoplan leading to this first approval for gMG.

Project description:Teclistamab (TECVAYLI®), a bispecific antibody that targets CD3 and B cell maturation antigen (BCMA), is being developed by Janssen Research and Development for the treatment of relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. Teclistamab was recently granted conditional approval in the EU for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma who have received three or more prior therapies (including an immunomodulatory agent, a proteasome inhibitor and an anti-CD38 antibody) and have demonstrated disease progression on the last therapy. Teclistamab was subsequently approved in the US for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma who have received at least four prior lines of therapy (including an immunomodulatory agent, a proteasome inhibitor and an anti-CD38 antibody). This article summarizes the milestones in the development of teclistamab leading to this first approval for relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.

In June 2021, it was approved by the National Medical Products Administration of China for the treatment of complicated skin and soft tissue infections (cSSTI), including, but not limited to, methicillin-susceptible S. aureus, MRSA, Streptococcus pyogenes and Streptococcus agalactiae. The recommended dosage of contezolid is 800 mg (i.e. two 400 mg tablets) every 12 h for 7-14 days. Contezolid is also undergoing clinical development for acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections (ABSSSI) in the USA, and for diabetic foot infections.

Project description:Deucravacitinib (SOTYKTU™) is a first-in-class, highly selective, oral tyrosine kinase 2 (TYK2) inhibitor. It acts via an allosteric mechanism, binding to the catalytically inactive pseudokinase regulatory domain of TYK2 and stabilizing an inhibitory interaction between the regulatory and catalytic domains. Deucravacitinib is being developed by Bristol Myers Squibb for the treatment of multiple immune-mediated diseases, including psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, lupus and inflammatory bowel disease. It received its first approval (in the USA on 9 September 2022) for the treatment of adults with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis who are candidates for systemic therapy or phototherapy. On 26 September 2022, it was subsequently approved in Japan for the treatment of plaque psoriasis, generalized pustular psoriasis and erythrodermic psoriasis. The Marketing Authorisation Application for deucravacitinib for the treatment of adults with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis has been validated in the EU, and clinical development of the drug for the treatment of multiple immune-mediated diseases is underway in numerous countries worldwide. This article summarizes the milestones in the development of deucravacitinib leading to this first approval for the treatment of adults with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis who are candidates for systemic therapy or phototherapy.

Project description:Lonafarnib (Zokinvy™) is an orally active farnesyltransferase inhibitor developed by Eiger BioPharmaceuticals under license from Merck & Co. for the treatment of hepatitis D virus (HDV) infections, and progeria and progeroid laminopathies. The drug was originally discovered by Merck & Co as an investigational drug in oncology. In progeria, lonafarnib inhibits farnesyltransferase to prevent farnesylation and subsequent accumulation of progerin and progerin-like proteins in the nucleus and cellular cytoskeleton. In November 2020, lonafarnib received its first approval in the USA to reduce the risk of mortality in Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS) and for the treatment of processing-deficient progeroid laminopathies (with either heterozygous LMNA mutation with progerin-like protein accumulation, or homozygous or compound heterozygous ZMPSTE24 mutations) in patients ≥ 12 months of age with a body surface area (BSA) of ≥ 0.39 m2. Lonafarnib is under regulatory review in the European Union. Clinical development for the treatment of HDV infections is underway in multiple countries. This article summarizes the milestones in the development of lonafarnib leading to this first approval.
