Less than a week after approving Johnson & Johnson’s bispecific antibody, Talvey (talquetamab-tgvs), for relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (r/r MM) under accelerated review, the U.S. FDA has followed suit with Pfizer Inc.’s equivalent, Elrexfio (elranatamab-bcmm). The accelerated clearance of Elrexfio – a B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) bispecific antibody that targets BCMA on myeloma cells and the CD3 receptor on T cells – covers it for adult patients who have received at least four prior lines of therapy, including a proteasome inhibitor, an immunomodulatory agent and an anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody.

A recent bipartisan request for funding of a study on replacing U.S. drug patents with cash prizes is just one more symptom of a larger global malady that makes patents the scapegoat for bigger problems that have nothing to do with intellectual property (IP), David Kappos, board co-chair of the Council for Innovation Promotion (C4IP), told BioWorld.
The U.S. FDA has approved Daxxify (daxibotulinumtoxinA-lanm) for treating cervical dystonia in adults nearly a week ahead of its Aug. 19 PDUFA date.

The drug’s original approval was for treating glabellar lines, better known as frown lines, came in September 2022. Daxxify is the first neuromodulator stabilized with Revance’s peptide exchange technology. It is created without human serum albumin or animal-based components.
