Nipah (NiV) and Hendra (HeV) viruses, two closely related members of the Henipavirus genus, continue to raise global concern due to their high mortality rates and potential for zoonotic spillover. Despite repeated outbreaks, there are still no licensed antiviral treatments targeting these pathogens, either for control or prevention.
China’s National Medical Products Administration gave the green light to Simcere Pharmaceutical Group Ltd.’s Enzeshu (suvemcitug) for treating recurrent ovarian cancer, fallopian tube cancer, or primary peritoneal cancer in combination with paclitaxel, liposomal doxorubicin, or topotecan in adults who have received at least one systemic therapy after platinum resistance.

The OX40/OX40L costimulatory pathway is crucial for effective T-cell activation and is inducibly expressed in response to immunological stimulation. Targeting OX40L has demonstrated safety and efficacy in preclinical studies using nonhuman primate models of kidney and heart transplantation.
Abion Inc. signed a potential $1.315 billion deal with an anonymous partner June 22, granting the counterparty exclusive global rights to a preclinical claudin 3-targeting monoclonal antibody, ABN-501, and the potential to license four more protein targeting antibodies.
Monoclonal antibodies show strong therapeutic potential against neurodegenerative diseases, but a major challenge is ensuring that they can arrive unharmed in the brain at sufficient concentrations. One way around this challenge is to vectorize the monoclonal antibody: encode it within a vector that can infect target cells in the brain and express the antibody in situ.

Hemab ApS recently presented preclinical data on its human monoclonal antibody against von Willebrand factor (vWF), HMB-002, for the treatment of von Willebrand disease.
Despite the controversies swirling around the June meeting of the U.S. CDC’s Advisory Committee for Immunization Practices (ACIP), the reconstituted committee delivered good news to Merck & Co.
