The setback of Pfizer’s gene therapy for DMD would put Sarepta’s therapy at an advantageous position but it could hinder the development of better AAV gene therapies for this disease. Angus Liu comments on the epic failure of Gilead’s CD47-targeting magrolimab in a Ph3 trial for myelodysplastic syndrome. This setback cast a major dark cloud over the glooming CD47 field, where ALX Oncology, Akeso, Pfizer, and ImmuneOnco all have assets being evaluated in various oncology indications. Kate Gao summarizes the highlights from Eli Lilly’s donanemab’s FDA Advisory Committee meeting, which had the best outcome Eli Lilly could have hoped for. Issues raised by the FDA focus on the considerations of real-world clinical use of donanemab. Leon Tang comments on the cross-border deal where AbbVie spent $150M upfront on a preclinical TL1A-targeting antibody from China biotech FutureGen. This transaction proves again China biotech’s competitive advantage in generating best-in-class assets with quality, speed, and reasonable cost.
